I often read a small town paper online called the Daily Herald. In the opinion section, there is something called Sound Off! The purpose is for readers to share comments about what matters to them, ranging from topics about life in the city, politics and personal pet peeves, to compliments and complaints. I thoroughly enjoy reading Sound Off! and decided to offer something similar to you, my faithful followers. I love it!! In Sound Off! readers are encouraged to stay on topic, be respectful and the use of foul or obscene language, personal attacks or uses of another's identity to post are not allowed. The rules for what I am calling "Let Go!! with Dr. D. Clutter™" are the same. Every Friday is our official Let Go!! w/Dr. D. Clutter™ day. I'll post your advice, ideas, stories and thoughts. It'll be a place for you to share your life management and organization issues as well as discuss life events that inspire, empower or bother you. You can "leave it all here", as long as you follow the rules I discussed above. All comments will be reviewed before posting. So get ready, get set and Let Go!! w/Dr. D. Clutter™.

Thrill Seeker?

Do you appreciate the adventure of the unknown? Does your heart race at the thought of heading into a new day without any plans? Well, if so, this post is not for you. For the rest of you who find that living the life of the adventurer hasn’t been working for you, I suggest that you plan as much of your day the night before. I know it’s not as exciting as not knowing what the next adventure will be, but at least you’ll know what you’ll wear, eat and will prayerfully arrive on time.

Task Focus

What things, when you think about having to do them, cause the hair on your skin stand on end? Do you find that those are the things that you tend to procrastinate on completing? One way to get things accomplished is to focus on the task, not on the fear of completing the task. Break the task into manageable segments and focus only on that segment and see how successful you’ll become.

See, Wait or Do?

Are you the type of person who sees a problem and waits for someone else to find the solution? Or are you the type who sees a problems and can’t wait to solve it?

Resentment

If you’re holding a grudge, feeling resentment towards someone, chances are you’re feeling lousy. Further, chances are that the other person is just skipping happily down the boulevard while you’re sitting at home sulking and feeling badly. How many times have you heard that being angry with someone affects you more than it does the other person? Well, it’s true. Anger, resentment, grudges, and all other negative feelings are as if you are sipping from a time-release poison and then waiting for the other person to feel the effects. Doesn’t make sense does it?

You Choose

I wish I could take full credit for this little piece of inspiration, but alas it came from Monk, one of my favorite televisions shows. Randy, one of the characters said that despite people always teasing him, making fun of and often disrespecting him, that he viewed happiness as a choice. So, he chose to be happy despite his circumstances. I love that thought and live my life as close to it as possible. That doesn’t mean that sad days, disappointments and unhappy times don’t happen. It just means that I don’t allow those times to rule my life.
