The Principle Of Unmanageability: Life has become increasingly unmanageable. I am becoming increasingly powerless over people, places and situations in my life.

I love Christmas…it’s one of my FAVORITE times of year but one thing always bothers me about it, the clutter.  It’s amazing how quickly the house seems in disarray when there’s so many extra knick knacks.

We like to have the house organized (as organized as can be with two small children and many toys!) and for everything to have a “home” but this season brings out the clutter bug in most people and it’s an easy pit to fall into!  We have our tree, the nativity, the village and other extra “cute” little things laying around the house to get us into the spirit of the season. We’re busier at this time so it’s easy to give up on maintaining order in the house.

I think that having a short time of crazy clutter in the house is fun but I have to say when January rolls around I’m pretty much done with the clutter, dust magnets and disorderly state of the house.  Nothing feels more cleansing that putting it all away and getting ORDER maintained.  It seems like such a simple thing but the weight of all the STUFF gets lifted off your soul when order is once again maintained.

It’s like this with other areas of your life as well.  The ability to maintain order (not control, the two are separate) the arrangement of activities or things in a coherent form will lift a heavy burden off of your mind, your soul, your body and your spirit!

With this new season, don’t just put the holiday decorations away and leave it at that take it the next step and work towards organizing other areas of your life!
