You're Not The Boss Of Me

Making changes in yourself for the new year, has to begin with purging. One aspect of stress is rooted in anxiety. Anxiety is often born out of the overwhelming feelings that there is too much to take on so people often go into avoidance mode. When beginning the task of getting rid of all that stuff you no longer need or want, take it one step at a time, or it will never get done. As I write this, I can tell you that you are not alone in your task. I am sitting here staring at a desk filled with papers, greeting cards, calendars, newspapers, magazines, pens, pencils, white out (which I really don't need for my computer)and, somewhere buried under the piles, is my telephone. At some point, I will tackle the desk, but I have no fear; I've done this before. What's the pay off for purging? Besides a clean desk, I have the feeling of finally completing the task that has been staring me down on a daily basis. Maybe when I'm done with that, I can move on to that junk drawer in the kitchen!
