mudblossom's Journal

Well, I just had therapy and it was more upbeat than recently.  Definitely have Cymbalta to thank for improvements.  This weekend I did so much cleaning and reorganizing in my house, I couldn't believe it.  I'm not done, but way farther on my way than I ever would have predicted.  And at therapy we talked about my needing a goal for the future. 

 

My baby step goals are:

 

stop spending for today, start saving for tomorrow

feel more financially secure and responsible

start living, more than just surviving

figure out what I like to do for fun

stop turning down social invites

research other places in Oregon I'd like to live

places that offer job/career advancement,

and a more inclusive spiritual community

 

Clear the Clutter

Getting rid of your clutter means throwing it away, recycling it, donating it, or selling it. Try this strategy to tackle a junky room, garage, attic, closet, or basement and sort its contents into four boxes for disposal.

Arm yourself with four large containers (boxes or large garbage bags) - plus one laundry basket.

Have one bag or box to hold items for:

Garbage Recycling Give-aways or donations Yard sale or resale/consignment shop (If you’re not planning to sell anything, you’ll only need three containers.)
