♪ ♫ Let’s Get Physical ♪ ♫

Posted on by Lifestyle-by-designs

Getting fit is a never-ending process, not just a quick fix. The real joy comes from all the cool stuff you learn and experience while you’re on the journey.

When it comes to fitness, we often focus too much on specific goals, like achieving a certain body type, hitting a certain weight, or running a marathon. We get so fixated on the destination that we forget to enjoy the journey.

This mindset can mess with our heads and lead us to push ourselves too hard, get impatient, and doubt ourselves. We become so obsessed with the goals that we forget to enjoy the process. It can eventually lead to burnout or even worse, getting hurt.

Getting fit is not just about reaching a goal, it’s about the cool stuff you learn and feel along the way. Whether you’re into running, lifting weights, or just doing some yoga, it’s all about being in the moment and enjoying the ride.

You know that feeling when you’re exercising and it’s like your whole body is waking up? That’s because it totally is! When you move your body, it’s like opening a magic portal to your inner self. Suddenly, you feel energized, strong, and confident. It’s like your mind and body are working together like BFFs. So whether you’re dancing like a queen, swimming like a fish, running like the wind, walking like a boss, biking like a pro, or stretching like a yogi, keep moving and let your body work its magic!

Fitness goals are helpful to have — we all want to feel healthy, strong, and able. Goals give us motivation to keep going, and to see what we’re capable of. But also remember to listen to your body, honor its limits, and embrace the process of progress rather than perfection.—–

Hey you, fitness enthusiasts! Having fitness goals is totally cool — we all want to feel healthy, strong, and capable, and look good right? Goals give us that extra push to keep going and discover what we truly can. But here’s the thing: listening to your body is also important. Don’t push yourself too hard — respect its limits. It’s all about making progress and enjoying the journey, not aiming for perfection. So go ahead, embrace the process, and make it fun!

Life’s full of tiny wins! Celebrate every step forward, every time you feel stronger, and all the good stuff from just getting up and moving.

When you think about your fitness journey, ask yourself what kind of exercises do you dig? Maybe stick with what you know and love, or try something fresh. And don’t forget to set a goal and an intention to make it more meaningful.

So, you might have a goal like, “I wanna work out to get healthier, feel stronger, and love my body more.” Or maybe it’s, “I wanna have fun moving and let my body do its thing.” Whatever you want to achieve, your intention can really help you get there. And don’t forget to give yourself a pat on the back along the way! Taking care of your health is no small feat, so take a moment to appreciate all the progress you’re making.

Peace ♥ Harmony, Cheryl

All Energy Vibrates

Posted on by Lifestyle-by-designs

Vibration Essense

All energy vibrates, water is the universal carrier of vibrational imprints

Much like yourself, the things you come across all have their own stories to share. That’s because the people who owned them before have left their mark, like a vibe or energy, on them.

Listen up! Our bodies give off energy like crazy, and every time we touch or hang around an object, we leave behind a vibe. It’s like these imprints are memories, emotions, or feelings that stick to the thing. Just like you, all the stuff you come across has its own story to tell.

Have you heard of psychometry? It’s like this crazy ability to tap into an object’s past and learn all about the people and stuff it’s been around. It’s like the objects are telling their own stories, man.

Just think about it. That old house that always feels creepy and cold? Maybe it witnessed some tragic event back in the day. Or that childhood toy that always brings a smile to your face? It’s probably got some good vibes attached to it.

The cool thing is, that everyone has this psychometric power inside them. It’s just a matter of tapping into it and letting the objects share their secrets. . . their stories.

So, you know how everything around us has its unique vibe? Well, psychometry is all about tapping into those vibes, like tuning into a radio station. It’s all about getting on the same wavelength as the stuff around you.

Check it out! You know how some people can like, totally read the vibes of objects? It’s called psychometry, and it’s all about using stuff like jewelry or watches to tap into the energy of their owners. These things are always on the owner, so they soak up all kinds of info. When someone with the gift of psychometry touches an object, they can pick up on feelings, places, and even events that are tied to the owner.

Emotions can be pretty easy to pick up on, but it takes some practice to get good at it. If you wanna work on your skills, find a quiet place and sit down, palms up. Have a friend put one of their favorite things in your non-dominant hand, and just let your mind wander. Whatever comes to you – images, sounds, feelings – tell your friend about it or write in your journal.

Just hold an object or place it on your forehead, sit in silence and you’ll be able to feel its history and experience all the emotions, sounds, tastes, smells, and images that have gone on around it so far.

It’s this cool ability where people can pick up on the history and vibes of objects by touching them. It’s usually done with small stuff that’s been close to the owner, but it works on big stuff too, like houses and cars. Freaky, right?

So, let’s say you get your hands on an object with a story. You can tap into its memories and learn all sorts of crazy stuff. It’s like the object is whispering secrets in your ear. And the best part? The more you know about the object, the more memories you can unlock. It’s like a treasure trove of info waiting to be discovered.

Elevate Your Mental Well-being Through Organizing

Posted on by Lifestyle-by-designs

Hello friends! I hope this message finds you well. I wanted to share something that has had a big positive impact on my life, and I think you might find it helpful too.

It’s all about being more mindful. I know, I know, it sounds like something out of a self-help book, but it’s helped me to be more present and appreciate the little things in life.

There are a few things I do to practice mindfulness:

  • I try to focus on my breath when I’m feeling stressed or anxious.
  • I take a few minutes each day to just sit and be still in total silence.
  • I pay attention to the small details of my day, like the smell of coffee in the morning or the sound of birds singing and my princess-Kitty purring. 

It’s not always easy to be mindful, but it’s worth it. I feel more relaxed and centered when I make an effort to be present.

Organizing is often seen as a practical thing, but it can have a big impact on our mental health. It’s not just about decluttering physical spaces; it’s about creating an environment that promotes clarity, peace, and a sense of control.

When our surroundings are organized, it can help us to feel more in control of our lives. It can also reduce stress and anxiety. Additionally, a clean and organized space can be more conducive to productivity and creativity.

If you’re looking to improve your mental health, consider decluttering and organizing your space. It may just make a big difference.

Here are some ways in which organizing can contribute to your mental health:

  • 1. Reduced Stress Levels: A clutter-free space promotes a sense of order and reduces the visual chaos that can lead to feelings of overwhelm. When we know where things are, we can approach tasks with greater ease and reduced stress.
  • 2. Enhanced Productivity and Focus: An organized environment allows us to focus on the task at hand without distractions. This can lead to increased productivity and a greater sense of accomplishment.
  • 3. Boosted Mental Clarity: A clutter-free space corresponds to a clutter-free mind. When we remove physical distractions, we create mental space for creativity, problem-solving, and innovation.
  • 4. Improved Time Management: A well-organized schedule and workspace can help you allocate your time more efficiently. This leads to a greater sense of control over your day-to-day activities.
  • 5. Promotes Mindfulness and Well-being: Engaging in the process of organizing encourages a mindful approach to our surroundings. It allows us to appreciate the present moment and take pride in our environment.
  • 6. Facilitates Goal Achievement: A clutter-free space allows you to visualize your goals more clearly. It’s easier to set and track progress towards your objectives when your surroundings support your ambitions.
  • 7. Creates a Relaxing Sanctuary: Coming home to an organized and tidy space can be incredibly calming. It provides a sanctuary where you can unwind, recharge, and find peace.

If you want to learn more about this, I’d be happy to share some practical tips and resources to get you started. Just remember, it’s not about being perfect, but about creating a space that works for you and your needs.

Here’s to a smooth and well-planned journey to better mental health!

Keeping a Creativity Journal

Posted on by Lifestyle-by-designs

One of the best ways to get creative is to try new things

There are many different kinds of journals. Some people write down their deepest thoughts and feelings every day. Others write a single poem or a few lines of an essay once a week, every few months, or whenever they feel like it. The best part about journaling is that there are no rules or restrictions. If you want to get your creative juices flowing, start a journal to record your inspirational thoughts and ideas, or to keep track of an artistic project.

Find a blank book that you like, with or without lines. It should be a color, size, and texture that appeals to you. You can also make your journal, designing a cover with drawings and photographs. The most important thing is to start journaling. Initially, you might want to schedule time for journaling each day. But even if you don’t, you know that your journal is there waiting for you when inspiration strikes.

One of the better ways to encourage creativity is to try new things. Don’t let your preconceived notions of what a “journal” should be get in your way. Anything too formal or linear is up for grabs when flying with your creativity flag: 

  • write with your non-dominant hand
  • write in a different
  • Write in a different direction
  • Landscape orientation is a great start, diagonally, or even in a circle

When it comes down to it, you don’t have to write anything at all. You can draw, doodle, or paste a collage of images. The important thing is not to worry about your artistic skill, but to focus on expressing yourself. Anything fresh will help jumpstart your creativity: use different colored pens or pencils, fill your pages with colorful doodles, words from magazines that catch your attention, anything to keep you from thinking in the same old ways.

Your journal can be about any aspect of your creativity. You may or may not believe it at this moment, but there is no such thing as a “non-creative person”. A collection of fragments can be a place for you to store your dreams, a place to jot down brilliant ideas, or even the beginning of a larger creative project. 

Don’t just put together a journal and forget about it. Every once in a while, take it off the shelf and read it as if you found someone else’s journal lying there (and that it was okay to look inside). You might be surprised by the inspiration you find.

Happy Journaling ♥

Unleash The Joy: A Dance of Serenity Through Organized Living

Posted on by Lifestyle-by-designs

In the chaotic dance of our daily lives, finding solace amidst the storm is a pursuit we all yearn for. Imagine a world where clutter and chaos give way to a serene symphony of order and purpose. Today, we embark on a journey to explore the profound emotional impact of embracing organization in our lives.

Section 1: The Liberating Bliss of Decluttering

Picture this: the weight of unnecessary possessions lifted from your shoulders, leaving room for clarity and tranquility. As you bid farewell to the clutter, a sense of liberation washes over you, akin to the feeling of a cool breeze on a hot summer day. Decluttering is not just about physical space; it’s a profound emotional cleanse.

Section 2: The Dance of Productivity and Peace

In the organized realm, every item has its designated HOME, and every task has its designated time. As you synchronize your life to this rhythmic dance of order, you find a harmonious blend of productivity and peace. The satisfaction of completing tasks in an orderly fashion is an emotional reward that fuels your motivation.

Section 3: Crafting a Sanctuary of Serenity

Your living space is a canvas, and organization is the brush that paints a masterpiece of peace. When you curate a sanctuary “Nest” that reflects order and intentionality, you create a haven for your soul. The emotional impact is like stepping into a spa after a long, hectic day—pure bliss.

Section 4: The Empowering Rituals of Planning

Organizing your time is not just a practical act; it’s a powerful emotional investment. The ritual of planning brings a sense of control and purpose, turning the chaotic unknown into a roadmap of achievable goals. With each planned step, you become the architect of your destiny, and that empowerment is exhilarating. Even if something goes wrong along the way . . . which it will if you have a plan you can be flexible with your next step.

In Closing:

In the symphony of life, embracing organization is the key to unlocking a crescendo of positive emotions. The decluttered spaces, the rhythmic dance of productivity, the crafted sanctuaries “Nest”, and the empowering rituals—they all converge to create a beautiful melody of joy and serenity. So, let’s embark on this journey together, and let the harmony of organization resonate in our hearts and homes, bringing forth a cascade of positive emotions that will echo through every aspect of our lives.

Peace ♥ Harmony, Cheryl

So Many Things . . .

Posted on by Lifestyle-by-designs

ARE WE GIVING TOO MANY OF THE WRONG THINGS?

We all want to give our kids a good life, but we know that material things aren’t as important as we think.

One of the coolest things about kids is that they can entertain themselves for hours with some random object, like a cardboard box, a container, or a set of measuring spoons. It makes you wonder why we buy them so many toys that they won’t even have time to play with them all before they grow out of them.

If we stop and think about why we feel the need to constantly give our kids new toys, clothes, and junk food, we’ll often realize that we’re trying to avoid our difficult feelings and pain. If you catch yourself wanting to spoil your child with material possessions, take a moment to see if you can figure out where your motivation is coming from.

Sometimes we give our kids too much stuff because we want them to have a sense of abundance that we didn’t have as kids, or because we want them to like us. Both of these motives are often unconscious and stem from unresolved issues from our childhood or adult life.

These unresolved feelings naturally come up when we find ourselves in the role of a parent, often as our child reaches the age we were when these traumas were most pronounced. Spoiling your children will not save you or make your pain disappear, only acknowledging and working on your emotional issues can do that. 

The most important thing we can do for our children is to make them feel safe and loved. We should also give them the freedom to explore and learn. If we can do these things well, our children won’t need a lot of material possessions to be happy.

We all want our kids to have a great and happy life, but we know that material things are not as important as we think. We make a mistake when we try to buy our kids happiness. When we do this, they think that happiness comes from toys and treats instead of the joy of being alive, being loved, and exploring the world.

Make It a Happy Monday ♥

Posted on by Lifestyle-by-designs

Achieving ANY life goal requires 3 things:

  1. Desire: what do you really want?
  2. Drive: Why do you want it?
  3. Do: What do you need to do?

These 3 questions MUST be answered if you want to get over the barriers that hold you back from achieving your goals. There are no easy paths to the things you want the most – just like you never get a rainbow after a sunny day.

Streamline Once You Have Lived With Organize

Posted on by Lifestyle-by-designs

Streamline AFTER you Organize

Not while . . . 

I might be going against the grain here, but I don’t talk about streamlining until my clients have lived in their newly organized space for a bit. I tell them to try sitting in a different spot than usual, like a different chair or part of the couch. They’ll get a new perspective on their space and might be surprised at how adaptable humans are in their environments.

Now, the fun part starts! Labeling, totes, storage containers… People think that the fun part of organizing is all the pretty stuff. Trust me, I’ve broken many hearts with clients who thought this way on our very first day. But after going through the process, they understand that patience and consistency are what get you to that calm living.

Streamlining a space that has already been organized involves maintaining order and optimizing the efficiency of the existing organizational system. 

Here are some steps to help you streamline a space:

  • Assessment:
    • Begin by evaluating the current state of the space. Identify any areas that may have become cluttered or disorganized since the initial organization.
  • Declutter:
    • Remove any items that do not belong in the space or are no longer needed. Be ruthless in decluttering to maintain a clean and organized environment.
  • Reevaluate Storage Solutions:
    • Assess the effectiveness of the storage solutions in place. Consider whether there is a need for additional storage or if the existing storage can be optimized for better use of space.
  • Labeling:
    • If items are not already labeled, consider adding labels to containers, shelves, or drawers. Clear labeling makes it easier to locate items and encourages everyone to return items to their designated places.
  • Routine Maintenance:
    • Establish a regular maintenance routine. Dedicate a few minutes each day or week to tidying up the space, putting things back in their designated spots, and addressing any emerging organizational issues.
  • Optimize Layout:
    • Consider the flow and arrangement of items in the space. Optimize the layout to make it more intuitive and efficient. Frequently used items should be easily accessible, while those used less frequently can be stored in less accessible areas.
  • Digital Organization:
    • If the space involves digital files or equipment, organize digital assets and folders. Delete unnecessary files and create a logical folder structure. Ensure that electronic devices and cables are organized and tidy.
  • Create Zones:
    • Group similar items together to create functional zones. This makes it easier to find things and promotes a more organized look. For example, create a work zone, a storage zone, and a relaxation zone in a multipurpose room.
  • Implement Systems:
    • Establish systems for handling incoming items. Whether it’s mail, supplies, or other items, having a clear process for dealing with new items prevents them from piling up and disrupting the organization.
  • Evaluate and Adjust:
    • Regularly assess the effectiveness of the organizational system. If certain areas still tend to become disorganized, consider adjusting the system to better suit the needs of the space and its users.
  • Involve Others:
    • If the space is shared, involve others in the organization process. Establish guidelines for maintaining the order, and encourage everyone to contribute to the streamlined environment.

Remember that organization is an ongoing process, and regularly revisiting and maintaining your systems will help keep the space streamlined over the long term.

Those Who Wander Are Not Always Lost

Posted on by Lifestyle-by-designs

Going with the flow doesn’t mean we’re clueless about our destination. It just means we’re open to

different paths to get there.

The expression “going with the flow” is like floating down a river. When you go with the flow, you let the current take you downstream instead of trying to swim against it. Some people think that people who go with the flow are lazy or passive, but it actually takes a lot of awareness, presence, and the ability to blend your own energy with the energy around you to truly go with the flow.

Going with the flow doesn’t mean we just give up and let things happen. It means we relax our grip on our plans and expectations, and pay attention to the energy around us. We can then tap into that energy and move with it, which is much faster than trying to fight against it.

Going with the flow doesn’t mean we don’t have a plan. It means we’re open to different ways of achieving our goals. We’re also open to changing our goals if we realize that what we originally wanted isn’t what we really want. The important thing is that we keep moving forward, even if we don’t know exactly where we’re going.

We know that things don’t always go according to plan, and that’s okay. Sometimes we need to let go of our expectations and roll with the punches. Going with the flow means being open to change and trusting that things will work out in the end. It’s about being present in the moment and accepting whatever comes our way.

A lot of us are scared to go with the flow because we don’t think it will lead us to where we want to be. This leads us to stick with plans that aren’t working, stay on paths that are blocked, and obsess over relationships that aren’t fulfilling.

But sometimes, the best way to get where you want to go is to just let go and see where the journey takes you. You might be surprised at where you end up.

If you find yourself stuck in a rut, do yourself a favor and let go of the need to control everything. Trust that the universe has a plan for you and go with the flow. Let go of the things that are holding you back and be open to new possibilities.

Take a deep breath and lean into the current!

Peace & Harmony, Cheryl

When an Open Door Appears . . . Kick That B*tch Open!

Posted on by Lifestyle-by-designs

When a Door Opens

Our lives are made up of all our choices, and we’ll only keep growing if we keep choosing to move through the doors that open for each of us.

When opportunity knocks, open the door! Don’t overthink it. Trust that the opportunity has presented itself for a reason, and you’ve been guided to it. It’s easy to get bogged down in analysis paralysis, but sometimes the best way to find out what’s on the other side of a door is just to open it and see for yourself.

Even if it doesn’t seem like the right choice at first, opening a door might lead to another door that takes us where we need to be. Life is an adventure, so let’s explore all the possibilities!

When the time is right, doors open to new opportunities. It’s okay to have faith that walking through them is the right thing to do, even if you’re scared of leaving your old life behind for something new. It’s normal to linger in the doorway for a while, but don’t stay there too long. The best is yet to come!

We all have those voices in our heads that try to hold us back. Maybe it’s our own self-doubt, or maybe it’s the negative things people have said to us. These voices are known as Threshold Spirits, and they’re all about fear and doubt. They try to convince us that we can’t do something, or that it’s not worth trying. But you know what? They’re wrong. You can do anything you set your mind to, and you don’t have to let those voices hold you back. So next time you hear a Threshold Spirit trying to talk you out of something, just remember that they’re wrong. You can do it!

Life is full of doors, opening up new relationships, jobs, friendships, and creative inspirations. The life we have now is the result of all the doors we’ve walked through.

Every time we walk through a new door, we create a memory that encourages us to keep exploring fearlessly. Stepping into a new space almost always gives us a thrill and a new sense of confidence in ourselves and the world around us.

We have stepped across the threshold into a new life.

Yours in Clutter & Clarity, Cheryl
