One of my most favourite sayings, and a mantra I live by is tidy house, tidy mind. I was listening to Oprah's super soul podcast earlier today and was reminded of this when she talked about how different she feels walking into a room that's tidy versus walking into one with clothes on the floor. Now, I have to confess that whilst I do love things to be tidy, they aren't always that way. With two small boys in the house who love playing football and getting muddy, my standards are much lower now than they've ever been!
I find though, that when I'm trying to do something and I can't find the right focus, I often look up and realise that my environment isn't tidy and organised. That's usually my nudge to spend a few minutes getting things in better order. Once I've done that I feel much lighter, and it's so much easier to focus on the task in hand and get it done.
If you're struggling to find focus, check your environment and see if you need to create a tidy house to give you a tidy mind too. When we feel better, we do better. So, go and do better. Happy tidying!
