Coaching Corner: Put your toys away!
By Marilou Butcher Roth, Master Coach
Remember that catchy song from years ago? “Put your toys away...don’t delay...help your mama have a happy day. Put your toys away...don’t delay...then when you want them you can find them right away.” Ah yes, that song is etched in my memory from finding an easy and effective way to encourage the messes that my four young boys made on a daily basis!
No, this is not just a trip into my regularly challenged memory! Let’s fast forward to our lives today. We are in our homes more than we were, there are just not as many places to go right now. Many of my coaching clients are experiencing an underlying uneasy feeling that seems to be prevalent during this crazy time.
One of the ways to help calm those feelings is to create a sense of ease within your physical spaces -- your home, car and even yard. If you are experiencing clutter in the places where you spend your time, you might be bringing more uneasy feelings unconsciously into your life. I am not trying to disrupt your life, just create a bit more ease for you and your families.
This week, bring more awareness into your physical surroundings -- are things the way you want them, or is there unnecessary clutter staring back at you? If so, put your toys away please and you and your family will have a happier day!
