I love looking at the different blogs and posts that come my way. Sometimes there is just some information that jumps right out at me for whatever reason. It could be because of a client I am working with or something that I am dealing with personally. Whatever the case, I love to share these ah ha moments with my readers. This came from Messies.com aka The Organizing Lady.
Messiness is not always an individual matter. Sometimes the house is just the floor on which we do a dance of disorganization with others. It may be that someone in the house (maybe you) is resisting keeping the house nicer because he or she wants to show anger. An example may be a child who
is leaving stuff around the house, not cleaning up the room as a statement of independence. Or a spouse
who leaves things messy as a weapon in a family conflict.
A more subtle example is that deep in your own heart you may be resisting being made to do what you don’t
want to do. Maybe you are angry about the nature of life that forces you to spend your time doing grunge
jobs that you hate. Or maybe it is the voice of your mom, the neatness police, echoing from the past. Our messy behavior may have deep roots for some people that need to be considered because the rageful dance is very destructive to moving forward in neatness.
What does this make you think of? This answers some questions for me about my kids…hmmm!
Happy Organizing! Bridges
