First, take a look at your life and what you keep putting off and make a list of what needs to be done. Once you decide, write it down; it’s harder to ignore something written down. The written word is also powerful and can release pent up energy and emotions. Be gentle with yourself. Usually I will get in a calm mood, have beautiful music on and light a candle while I do this process. When you are scattered and unfocused it is difficult to do much and stay on task, right?
2. Prioritize the list- put your most urgent task/need in the number one position and so on.ARTArticleTakers and GiversIn this world there are two kinds of people; takers and givers.

There are ten no-cause things I have found some people needlessly beat themselves up over. It just makes more sense to accept reality as it is with these particular things and move on to greener pastures worth mowing and watering.
