Daily Fit Tip: Get organized

November was a busy month for my partner and I. We spent the whole month running around and had little time to devote to our home. As a result, everything piled up and we started to live in this giant pile of chaos. I became stressed out every time I came home and it wasn't good. We were both putting off conquering the mess, but when our landlord called to tell us that she was bringing in some workmen to look at the place, we ended up in a mad cleaning frenzy and everything miraculously got put away in a day.

You are probably wondering why I am telling you this. Bear with me -- I DO have a point. Once our place was cleaned up, I felt amazingly good, like a huge weight was lifted off my shoulders. I felt invigorated, energetic, like anything was possible. It's almost as if now that I had conquered my house, I could conquer anything. It's the same way I feel after a good run, or after I'm able to comfortably do a difficult yoga pose for the first time. That kind of energy is what motivates me, what gets me through the chaos and mess of day-to-day life.

I can't guarantee that if you get organized, you will feel as good as I did, but it's worth a try. So I propose that you go do it - clean the mess in your life, whether it has to do with a messy house, a messy relationship, or a messy workload - and feel the pure, uplifting energy that comes from conquering something.
