Lots of Tips and Suggestions From Life Organizer Marla Stone, MSW for 2021
- Shop Green, and recycle. It is better for the planet. You can find most of what you want in Thrift Stores, consignment or on-line sales groups.
- Sell, drop off or barter with the stuff you don’t want.
- It is better to give than receive. Don’t forget that.
- Go to Therapy and or Get a Life Coach. Two heads are better than one head.
- Stop blaming others or past situations and stay in the NOW, and the KNOW
- You cannot change the past, but you can heal it.
- Your present self, health, and thoughts are the home where you live. It is your consciousness that is your home.
- Get organized; it will not only clear your space; it will clear your mind. Mind Clutter is a vicious cycle. Cluttered mind, cluttered space, cluttered mind, cluttered space.
- Get along better with yourself and you will see magic form in all of your relationships
- If you disagree with another person, there is a way to resolve it without getting steamed up. Sharing your feelings and validating the other person for their feelings will settle down a negative situation.
- If you have a difficult problem with yourself, there are traditionally two opposing aspects of creating self fighting. Realize fighting with yourself is futile.
- Share your feelings with yourself and validate yourself. EX: I feel misunderstood, bullied, manipulated, and I am a strong and capable person who will compromise and be flexible.
- If you are upset with someone or something and have negative things to say, take that finger and point it towards yourself. Usually, if you can see the negative in someone else, it is because that trait is in you
- Check yourself to see if you meet criteria for a personality disorder

- Eat healthily. Look at all the products in your pantry and pull and out and trash anything with corn syrup, chemicals, hydrogenated oils of any kind, and ingredients you can’t pronounce.
- Identify, products high in salt, and sugar content, products with food dye. You can’t believe how much dye is in children’s cereals and cookies.
- Eat citrus fruit daily, decrease consumption of flesh, and increase intake of vegetables.
- Get a healthy water system installed in your home and drink healthy filtered water. Remember, skinny does not always mean healthy. Being overweight, though, is not healthy
- Exercise, even if it is difficult or inconvenient
- Decrease alcohol intake and smoking or work on eliminating addiction challenges.
- Check and see if you meet the criteria for an addiction http://www.sis.indiana.edu/DSM-IV-Criteria.aspx
- Meet with friends and family as much as possible, as long as they are supportive. People closest to you, your support system, usually know you better than you know yourself. If you are isolating, get a mental health checkup.
- Identify toxic people who put you down, create chaos, and who have issues with greed, vanity, anger, lust, or unhealthy boundaries.
- Have some spiritual connection, and practice being spiritual regularly in life. If you are confused about your belief system, talk it out with someone until you get it straight. Being uncertain about whether there is a God and or a Higher Power is like living in limbo. Until you get some clear ideas about why and how we are here on this planet, living in a body, you will unlikely be clear about anything else.
- Have one day per week with only positive thoughts. Every time you think negatively, tap yourself on the shoulder and say “stop,” and resume thinking positively by replacing the negative thought with an opposite positive thought. So if you say to yourself, “oh, I’m so stupid,” replace it with “I’m a super smart and capable person”. You will be amazed at how negative self-talk can bring down your ego system, causing anxiety and hostility towards self and others, and how positive self-talk will raise your self-esteem.
Have an excellent 2021
