1. SIMPLICITY POWER PUNCH OF THE MONTH
VISUALIZATION
Have you kept your New Year's resolutions going?
If not,
let's talk visualization. You have to be very careful
with this
tool. You know the saying, be careful what you wish
for,
you just might get it. That's what visualization
is all about.
I don't know about you, but the moment I decide
to "see"
something in my minds eye, it happens. That goes
both
positively and negatively. If I am golfing and I
see water
between me and the green, I might see the water
consuming my golf ball on the next shot. Nine out
of ten
times, that ball will go in the water. If I walk
up
to the ball and only see the green and the ball
bouncing
once and rolling towards the pin, the same stats
apply.
You become what you think. You see, your brain
doesn't know truth from fiction, so it believes
everything
that you think. If you always say, "I am sick
and tired of…",
my guess is that you are often sick and feel very
tired.
Because visualization works, you have to be careful
what
you wish for or think of. If you think big, you
get big!
If you think garbage, you get garbage. If you don't
want
much, you won't get much. If you think positive,
you
get positive. It's that simple.

2. IN CLOSING - CATALOG CLOG
Could you please provide some tips on how
to deal with the many catalogs we all receive?
Sometimes the new ones that come are the same
as older catalogs, just with a different cover.
I might not see something in a catalog that I want
right at that time, but I keep it, 'just in case'.
Any tips
you could offer would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

Thanks so much for your question, Maureen!
Before you even keep all the catalogs, let's back
up and figure out if you really need to receive
them.
Are there any from which you can be removed from
the
mailing list? Be realistic. Can you just as easily
go
to their websites if you want shop or order?
The web is constantly up to date.
Now, for those catalogs that you do keep, consider
magazine
files that can house the catalogs in an upright
position
so nothing gets buried. You can weed out old ones
easily. Or a vertical literature rack (like you
see in a doctors
office holding magazines). You could alphabetize
them and when the new one comes in, remove the old
one.
About your fear of missing something, that is based
on how you think. What is the worst thing that will
happen if you don't see a catalog? Not much, except
you'll save some money! Can you live with that?
I could. What you don't see in a catalog will not
hurt
you. I have had clients throw all catalogs away
as
they come in for a week or two and many of them
feel
better because the pressure of having to look at
them
is gone. They then call to remove themselves from
the
list, knowing they can always visit the web.
I hope this helps!
Here's to simplifying your life!
Until March,
Patty
