Ep 083: Organization as Therapy

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">As a recovering perfectionist I’ve learned how therapeutic organization in my home and schedule can be. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">I grew up with this self-imposed, overachieving mentality that only escalated my anxiety and stress level everyday. As I’ve gotten older I’ve found ways to be a leader, entrepreneur, business owner, mom, and every other job I accept, without having to take on the burdens of those responsibilities. Instead, I’ve learned to alleviate much of that stress and anxiety and enjoy those roles to the fullest! </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Organization has been the key to that enjoyment and in many ways become my own form of therapy. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Here are 3 ways I use organization as therapy. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Essential: Have less. (Less is more!)</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Enhancement: Manage realistic expectations.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Extra: Style your space with the proper organizers. </span><br /> <br /></p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Highlights from this episode:</strong></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">{3:19} Organization helped me, and it can help you too</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">{6:52} Don't hide your imperfections</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">{9:31} Stop putting unnecessary pressure on yourself</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">{15:23} Let your kids be kids</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">{21:14} Finding a post-Covid routine that works for you</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">{24:53} Have realistic expectations</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">{28:06} Organize your things to keep anxiety at bay </span><br /> <br /></p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Mentioned on this episode:</strong></p> <p><a href= "https://www.everythingwithstyle.com/post/episode-010-reclaim-your-space"> <span style="font-weight: 400;">Ep 10: Reclaim Your Space
