Professional Organizer Orange County Cleans up Your Life and Your Pantry by Marla Stone

Becoming a Professional Organizer in Orange County, California is one of my greatest blessings.  I feel so grateful to have found a new career that is as fulfilling as being a Therapist .  I still help people, and I get to move around.  It is quite an honor to still serve standing up.  I love organzing entire houses, offices, storage units, you name it. I organize kitchens, by not only clearing clutter, but I look at every food product in a person’s pantry and their fridge.  Recently I found at least 30 items in a client’s pantry with hydrogenated oil.  Hydrogenated oil causes cancer and heart disease.  You can find it in certain peanut butter and lots of crackers and cookies.  I also still see products like sweet and low and splenda, both found to cause death in all rat studies.   I assist clients in understanding the health consequences, and urge them to remove the products.  I show people how to read labels for chemicals food companies are putting in the products that actually make us ill.  I love coaching and educating people.  Most of all I am thrilled to be able to help people identify their own Ideal lifestyle.

Setting goals is a difficult exercise for most people.  The reason goal setting is so daunting is the follow-through to achieve the goal.  Many people have ideas about what they want in life, but the effort, work and discipline it takes to reach their goals may be overwhelming.  Priortizing goals is the first step.  Ask yourself what is the most important idea or concept or behavior you want to work on.  Let’s take decreasing calories as a goal.  First:

  • Write it down
  • Write down 3-5 clever steps to decrease calories
  • Next set a time limit
  • Set up rewards for achievement of goals,
  • Map out a schedule for implementing your steps towards achievement
  • Put steps in your calendar so you will be prompted

So here is what goal setting and implementation would look like:

Decreasing Calories Ideas

  • Put a google calorie counter on your home web page
  • Look up your calories for what you eat after each meal or at the end of the day
  • Write down what you eat at each meal so you will remember
  • Start to follow the recommeded amount of calories that the Google Calorie Counter mentions
  • Increase exercise, which will decrease hunger.  Exercise can even be cleaning out your closet, sweeping the garage or doing laundry
  • Reward yourself with bubble bath, pedicure, manicure, new hairstyle etc… no food rewards obviously
  • Find low calorie foods that are healthy and tasty.  Little sweet tomatoes, celery with Braggs liquid amino acids, herbs and kelp, watermelon slushy, mint chocolate milkshake with unsweetened chocolate almond milk, stevia, fresh mint and Ice
  • Be creative and stick to it.  Find a buddy to do it with you
  • Cut out fatty foods.
