Clogged Arteries

If i where my own psychologist,I would tell me to end the clutter in my mind. I have a lot of stuff lying around the flat. But what's more taxing are the worries I carry, and the fears.

At work, I need to do what's do-able, no more. I need to get out of the do-it-or-die mode. I need to put things in perspective and respond to them accordingly.I don't need to nit-pick on a supplier because my boss is nit-picking on me. I don't need to be equaly serious and thorough on Everything. I don't even need to do what I'm told most of the time.

A lot of mind clearing would help me mucho. Breathing in between each task, each thought. Switching off the outlook (the emails, that is) for some period.

My extra long week-end did not start like I wanted, is not going on as I expected. I was meant to be lying in the sun somewhere natural, beautiful and quiet. Instead I'm here in my noisy appartment. But I picked up the clothes, washed the dishes, improvised delicious meals, watched 2 documentaries, napped.

Clearing the physical clutter is a tiny act to do. It's impossible to clear my mind's clutter if there is visible clutter. One is a simple extension of the other. I can be upset for weeks for a dirty kitchen and clothes on the floor. Well.

Cleaning that clutter is the easiest no-brainer thing to do. I shouldn't even think about it. That clutter is the most do-able thing to resolve. And from there I can take care of the inside clutter, where the real work begins.

I'll keep that in mind next time I get upset because of the clutter that I don't clean because I'm upset.
