And then you grabbed me with your content. <br /><br />Yes! I get overwhelmed as well. It's so easy to get swept up by the emotion of our initial commitment to lasting change. But the real work is staying committed on the days when nobody is watching, you got cut off in traffic and you realize the world does not exist to fill all your needs. When I get stuck (overwhelmed) I find that stopping and asking myself what is the best use of my next 15 minutes helps. Then I realize I don't have to figure out my entire life, just the next 15 minutes. I hope you are having a POWERFFUL week!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17744227008883936829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3248691918838260541.post-63922428685580504782010-09-06T19:12:49.347-04:002010-09-06T19:12:49.347-04:00Hello Howie

I went through the BFL program and got in the best shape of my life about 4 years ago.<br /><br />I had been thinking about doing some type of 30 day challenge to really get some things accomplished and stay focused but then visited the Transformation site.<br /><br />Being that I know how great BFL is, I am looking forward to following Bill's new program.<br /><br />In Success,<br />Howie PerksHowiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15373551371252808368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3248691918838260541.post-22144375647944279452010-09-03T00:12:54.556-04:002010-09-03T00:12:54.556-04:00Thank you so very much Kathy.

I too suffer from clutter overload, and am totally overwhelmed by the disorder in my home. It really is a suffocating feeling, and seems like such a huge and time consuming project to tackle. <br /><br />I think you're right, when we get our homes in order we bring more order to our lives as a whole, especially if we work from home. I hadn't really considered this point and am grateful to you for putting it out there.<br /><br />It will be difficult to tear myself away from the many projects I have going on, but maybe if I devote half an hour a day to getting organized I'll be in a much better and more productive place in a month.<br /><br />On a side note, I'm wondering if you've read "Women, Food and God"? I don't remember the author's name but saw her on Oprah and was very impressed with her ideas about weight management.<br /><br />Thank you for this post, maybe soon I'll be able to tell you I've cleared the cobwebs from my home and my mind!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02753743068125102589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3248691918838260541.post-14212470474648238072010-09-01T18:57:47.656-04:002010-09-01T18:57:47.656-04:00Hi Julie,
Funny that I should read your blog today...Hi Julie,<br />Funny that I should read your blog today. This morning Joanna and I were discussing the topic of paring things down somewhat in the house. We're both busy people and having been in the house for 10 years we're at the everything is full of 'stuff' stage. So this weekend we will start identifying the things which need to be thrown out and then the items which are worth giving away or selling. After that, if it doesn't have a proper place, it's outahere! I actually find clutter quite stressful.<br /><br />On the subject of weight, it's a tricky one. A lot of us are predisposed to getting heavier as we get older and personally I have to work pretty hard to stay in shape. It's amazing to me when I look at how little I eat compared to even just a few years ago and I do way more exercise. I'm never going to waste away overnight it seems :)<br /><br />Fortunately for me, I have a reasonable sense of self and I'm pretty happy in my own skin and I just accept that I do a lot to keep in shape and whilst we can always do more, you have to draw the line somewhere. Back to the thing about balance I guess.<br /><br />Good luck with your decluttering and one thing on weight I didn't mention - I 'cheat' a little in that I know if the goodies such as chocolate are there, I'm likely to indulge, so I just don't buy it. Doesn't exactly take much willpower but the end justifies the means!<br /><br />Regards,<br /><br />andrewAndrew Sayershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08836497355352831832noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3248691918838260541.post-40080054895337387262010-09-01T15:19:12.675-04:002010-09-01T15:19:12.675-04:00Julie,There are times when I get to feeling overwh...Julie,There are times when I get to feeling overwhelmed and unorganized. In fact I have a theory, and I call it "Joe's theory of piles" I tend to make neat little piles of stuff, and I guess it's my way of staying organized, but I guess it's probably a silly way for one to see any kind of organization.<br />Sounds like you are on track to staying organized!<br />Thanks for the great post! ~Joseph McDevittJoseph McDevitthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06558301070633697978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3248691918838260541.post-34715136030186936822010-09-01T12:52:27.233-04:002010-09-01T12:52:27.233-04:00Julie.

I realized that unless it was an heirloom, if it had been in a box for 5 years it was time to let go. We went through a major overhaul and the transformation was to a more streamlined life. Good luck on paring down.<br />Carolyn from TSAivorybowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07750500707716583323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3248691918838260541.post-3646085555587874822010-08-28T16:40:22.248-04:002010-08-28T16:40:22.248-04:00I think a lot of women struggle with this same iss...I think a lot of women struggle with this same issue. I often clean out a closet when I'm trying to solve a problem. I think it helps in 2 ways.<br /><br />One is by distracting me from the issue so I can clear the way for intuition.<br /><br />The other is I think we don't spend enough time "in our bodies". And cleaning out our closets gets us in touch with our bodies.<br /><br />Thanks for the great reminderDebbie Z.

I've lost weight here the past 2 weeks or so with a new product I'm using and feeling better than ever before. I have been trying to stay healthy for the past few years and had some ups and downs. I still play sports so it feels good when you're energized for sure, guess I still have to clear out my closets. Don't you hate that part? Sorry, I don't think I can ever get used to that.
