I was reminded of #19 the other day and the power one little action step can have in a person’s life.
Helen (a member of The Realm) wrote Dr T & I about a fire that happened in her home. She said it would have been so much worse if she hadn’t taken this one little action step (taken from our free guide Be The Queen of Calm, Cool & Collected…60 fabulous tips to help you live with less pressure and more ease). Here’s what she wrote:
Hello lovely ladies – Bev and Toby one of the reasons we were ok and that we didn’t lose the roof was that last weekend I decided to try calm and collected no. 19 -clear out! Previously there had been lots of IKEA toys in the roof space just above the seat of the fire, we cleared these last weekend and took them to a charity shop. The fire investigator said had they still been in situ dripping molten plastic and toxic fumes would have spread the fire and endangered the life of anyone attempting to put out the blaze – I.e. me and hubby. Following your advice saved me from being a burnt to toast queen! Thank you so much xx
And here’s #19 for you to take action on. This could just make you the Queen of calm, cool and collected too.
#19 Clear out and get clear!
When your overwhelm button gets pushed…declutter. A good tidy-up makes you feel back in charge in a flash. (And it’s soooo productive!) Go ahead and pick a closet, a drawer, a handbag, your desk or a filing cabinet and get going. Choose your strategy: recycle, sort, shred, donate, sell or simply bin it. Use that unwelcome moment of overwhelm to clear up the junk in your life…literally and figuratively!
