Organize your life and see the magic happen

In today’s world, we are literally bombarded with information from different sources. One study says that we have more information since the last two decades than since the beginning of civilization.

With so much information coming in constantly, the mind is unable to process it all and makes it difficult to make the right choices, to know what is really true and what is not, what is useful and what is just a waste of time.

Alycone (At the Master’s Feet) says, “In all the world there are only two kinds of people, those who know and those who don’t know, and this knowledge is all that matters.”

One must practice discernment and make informed choices, learning to choose carefully what is useful and ignore all that is not useful.

One of the speakers I heard recently said, “clutter is nothing more than postponed decisions and actions”. That got me thinking. It’s true… When we fall into the habit of procrastination and laziness, the tasks pile up and create clutter and then a vicious circle of that clutter itself begins preventing us from doing what needs to be done. Sometimes this mental disorder prevents us from sleeping well, and this leads to other health problems.

In this article, I share some tips for organizing your space: physically, digitally, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually.

 

Physically

Clean out the things you haven’t used in the last two years. It is unlikely that you will use them now.

Get rid of “shelf esteem,” a term I heard Jack Canfield use in one of his lectures. Read the books, otherwise give them to a library. Someone else can read them and benefit from them. You still get the good karma.

Stop collecting things that will not be used. Unused things are equivalent to stagnant energy.

Follow the one-in-two rule. If you buy one new thing, at least two or more old things will have to come off your shelves.

 

Digitally

Delete e-mails and messages that are no longer useful

Unsubscribe from mailing lists and WhatsApp groups.

Block when necessary.

Avoid the desire to reply to every message.

Emotionally

Listen to the inner voice, evaluate it, and decide whether or not you need to pay attention to it. Think about it, what advice would you give in the same situation to your best friend? Apply it to yourself.

 

Mentally

Get rid of negative thinking for yourself, for others, and for the world around you. For problems, identify them and shift the focus to the solution. Always try to be part of the solution.

Check your zone of influence … It may not be great, but it is the best you can do. It will eventually expand, and even if it doesn’t, at least you have the satisfaction of knowing that you did everything you could.

 

Spiritually

Beware of pride. It is one of the worst obstacles to growth on the spiritual path. It stems from low self-esteem and ignorance and prevents our minds from seeing clearly. Work to remove pride ruthlessly, regularly.

Forgive and let go. Forgive yourself and others.

When you find a system that works for you, stick with it. Frequent changes cost energy and time. Move on only when you really feel that there is nothing more to do or learn, or that you are no longer growing.

Some other useful tips

Try the brain dump technique. Write it down. Every thought, task you need or want to do. Every block you have. Every thing that makes you happy, makes you sad or angry. Things you wish you could do, but haven’t.

Then categorize them into: do now, delegate, postpone, discard.

Use vitamin N. Learn to say NO. Set healthy boundaries. And don’t feel guilty about it.

Group similar tasks together. Give yourself one hour a day for all those tasks that need only 2 minutes. Finish them off.

Change from FOMO.(fear of missing out) to JOMO, (joy of missing out) Less is indeed more in today’s world!

Follow the KISS rule (Keep It Short and Simple). KEEP IT SHORT AND SIMPLE

For unimportant tasks, “satisfy”. Keep the perfectionist attitude for what is really important.

Get rid of distractions.

Avoid or minimize multitasking.

Develop skills for scrolling through information. Set up filters.

Delegate where possible.

More importantly … ACTION…DO. Sometimes we get overwhelmed and don’t even start. The first stage is usually the most important.

“Start by doing what is necessary; then do what is possible; and suddenly you are doing the impossible. ” – Francis of Assisi

Give things only the time they are worth. Check input versus output.

Keep the end goal in mind.

Ask useful questions. All the time. For (almost) everything. Learn your why. Why am I studying this? Why am I buying this? Is there a need? Is it useful for me? For other people around me?

Apply the THINK filter to your thoughts, words, and actions. (is true, useful, inspiring, necessary, kind)

When faced with doubts, invoke and think how would the Guru respond to this situation? How he would think, what he would say, what he would do.

 

Practice the teachings.

Master Choa Kok Sui gave so many techniques – the path of Arhatic Yoga is complete in itself and just by practicing the Teachings, all of the above are met.

Change from knowing to doing.

Meditate regularly – it helps to remove unnecessary thoughts and clear the energy bodies.

Chant – especially the Gayatri mantra – to invoke intuitive intelligence and enlightenment.

Practice Superbrain Yoga to make your brain sharper.

Finally, be patient. The results will come. As Master Choa Kok Sui says: “If you have done everything that needs to be done, the future will take care of itself.

Organize your life and watch the magic happen!

Blessings be with you all.

Love and light.
