Getting organized is a sign of self-respect. – Gabrielle Bernstein
Welcome back to Renew Inspiration and Happy New Year! Let’s get organized in 2019. Did you know that the secret of your future is hidden in your daily routine? If you take the time to organize and commit to your daily routine, you will become happier, successful and strive to keep and/or maintain a healthy lifestyle. Now, let’s define a healthy lifestyle as a process and a personal journey created by focusing on various healthy choices or habits each day.
When we clear the physical clutter from our lives, we literally make way for inspiration and good, orderly direction to enter. – Julia Cameron
Remember, this process is personal so think about what you want different in your life or how you want to change your current situation. Then, build your healthy choices or habits on a strong foundation (your goals, beliefs and values). In addition, take time to learn more about your life, nutrition, fitness, spiritual-being to help you become a better version of you in 2019. Have fun and make the best of it!
KEEP IT SIMPLE
For me, a calm house equals a calm heart, equals a calm life. – Erica Layne
Let’s start with getting our house organized. A cluttered home can drain your energy and have you living in a chaotic state of mind. Take a moment from your busy schedule and go to every room in your house to place everything in its correct place. You may need to create a new space for some things as well to become more organized.
Here’s some organization suggestions:
• Toss old or broken items in the trash.
• Donate slightly used items to your local charity.
• Store, sort and label items for easy access.
• Clean, organize and purge your desk/work/closet areas.
For every minute spent in organizing, an hour is earned. – Benjamin Franklin
Do you find yourself constantly rushing through your day or forgetting things? If so, you need to focus on organizing your time. Getting organized and proper time management can impact your life in a positive way and help you cross things off your daily to-do list.
Here’s some organization and time management suggestions:
• Use one calendar or planner to manage your daily activities.
• Don’t overbook yourself. Don’t be afraid to say no sometimes.
• Use a daily to-do list as a quick checklist and make necessary adjustments.
• Schedule in “ME” time or time to just relax just like any other appointment.
MIND
When we throw out the physical clutter, we clear our minds. When we throw out the mental clutter, we clear our souls. – Gail Blanke
Here’s some positive ways to organize your mind throughout this process:
• Think Positive – read inspirational quotes or positive affirmations daily
• Spend Time in Meditation – quiet your mind, calm your spirit throughout your day
• Set Personal Goals throughout the process.
• Track Progress of your personal goals throughout the process.
• Keep a Personal Journal or Blog capturing your thoughts and feelings.
BODY
Organization isn’t about perfection, it’s about efficiency, reducing stress & clutter, saving time & money & improving your overall quality of life. – Christina Scalise
Here’s some positive ways to organize your body throughout this process:
• Schedule “ME” time often.
• Practice Self-Care activities, such as haircut, manicure, pedicure, facial, warm bath, etc.
• Create a Daily Ritual. For example, reading before bedtime or exercising in the morning.
• Exercise Daily, no exceptions.
• Planning and Cooking Healthy Meals.
• Schedule Time to Relax. For example, read a good book, dance, write or family outings.
SPIRIT
Seek God first. Everything else will fall into place. – Unknown Author
One of the tactics the enemy uses against believers is to keep us disorganized and feeling scattered throughout life. The enemy wants to replace our godly priorities with worldly distractions.
To avoid feeling disconnected from God, you should do the following:
• Read and Study Scriptures Daily – sacrifice time to read and study scriptures
• Hide Scriptures in your Heart – know scriptures so you can speak to your situation
• Keep a Journal – scriptures, prayers, thoughts or feelings, notes from scriptures or books
• Pray and Meditate – be in constant communication with God
• Listen to the Holy Spirit – stay connected with God so you can hear His voice
POSITIVE AFFIRMATIONS
Be patient with yourself. Nothing in nature blooms all year. – Unknown Author
Take time daily to repeat these positive affirmations:
• I am whole, feel complete and I continue to believe in me.
• I acknowledge my own self-worth and my confidence is soaring.
• I can do anything I put my mind to.
• I give myself permission to make choices.
• I deserve love, compassion and empathy.
• I honor my commitments to myself.
• I choose to be happy and positive each day.
• I am open and ready to learn.
• I have the power to make all my dreams come true.
• I am free of worry and am at peace with who I am.
TIME FOR REFLECTION – JOURNAL PROMPTS
A little progress each day adds up to big results. – Unknown Author
• What is your vision for 2019 and beyond?
• What is your priority for the next week? month?
• What did you do today that helped you get organized?
• What are you struggling with at the moment?
• What would you like to change your daily routine?
• What’s holding you back from improving your lifestyle?
• Write about someone who inspires you and why.
• Write about your favorite way to recharge your energy levels.
• Write about what’s on your mind right now.
So, the best way to get things organized in your life is to simply begin. It’s important to remember that getting organized is your personal journey. Your personal roadmap to a successful and prosperous life.
Believe in yourself today, tomorrow and forever!

It’s a negative world out there that needs a lot of positivity!! Thank you!!
An important post! Getting organized in mind, body, and soul is a great message for the new year. I do always feel so much better when my home and bedroom is clean and organized. Have you seen Tidying Up on Netflix? A sweet Japanese woman helps Americans organize their homes! It’s really a cool show!
