Organizing is Boring

Is organizing  boring?  Or is it simply something that you want to avoid? I hear this from time to time. To me it is not boring at all, but rather I find it stimulating and exciting figuring out what to put where. And the whole part of which container and what type of container...well that is like heaven to me. It's an adventure. Will everything I keep fit into the space I have? My creative juices flow unimpeded. I love coming up with new solutions. It's like a puzzle and when that last piece is put into place, it's time to do my happy dance!When I hear that organizing is boring, I wonder is that person maybe afraid of failing?  Or maybe they think they won't be able to do it perfectly? Or maybe they won't be able to maintain it so why even bother? There are alot of emotions that come up when you are organizing, so maybe it is too painful to face those emotions so saying that organizing is boring is a way of protecting yourself.   What are you telling yourself?  Do you tell yourself that you are not smart enough to get organized?I have found that the thoughts we have around doing an activity that we are unsure about are worse than the actual doing.  The mechanics of organizing are what they are, however you can jazz it up. You could invite a friend to join you, or you play your favourite music while you organize. And when you complete your organizing reward yourself with a dinner out or a yoga class or whatever might be special to you.
As you take two minutes to consider peace for our world today, think about what you are avoiding and then think about taking baby steps to face it.  Creativity awaits, I promise!
