If you want drastic changes in your life, declutter your bedroom





If you want drastic changes in your life declutter your bedroom


Μost of us struggle with change, even when we would love to be making changes. Even when the changes are positive and could enhance our lives, we sometimes find it difficult to move away from a familiar pattern.

Your bedroom is the most important room in your home. 

This is the place where you sleep and dream.  This is the room of intimacy, of dressing for the day and undressing for the night.  It should be a sanctuary, a place that makes you feel safe, a haven that supports you on all levels. 

 It should be a place that when you enter, you immediately feel relaxed and welcome. 

 If you walk into your bedroom and don’t feel grateful and blessed, some changes need to be incorporated.

One of the most obvious suggestions for achieving a supportive and protective bedroom environment is to keep clutter to a minimum. 

Overcome the belief that “it’s just my bedroom” or “no one else sees it but me” to the belief that you’re important enough to assure yourself a good night’s sleep and a space that supports you so intimately.

This is my minimal bedroom. Everything is tucked away in drawers and fitted-in wardrobe (not seen here). 

Even bedside lamps have been removed-after being broken from one son or another out of the four growing up in this home lol- because reading and learning is done in other parts of my home, my bedroom is just a sunctuary meant for relaxation=sleeping and intimacy.

The babycot is not left there unintentionally either. There is still the thought, at the back of my mind, that I might want to have another one sometime, who knows?

 The walls are painted a beautiful color that is restful, soothing, and comforting to me. The color of your bedroom walls can make the difference between sleeping well and not sleeping at all. 

Ι have tried to keep the room simple and serene. With such a sweet and serene color on the walls, Ι have found I don’t need any artwork, so that I keep my mind and spirit at nights free to rest and wander unencumbered by visual stimuli, off to a magical world that is purely of my own making. 

 If, however, you have to hung some artwork, make sure it is pleasing to both you and a partner if you’re sharing the space. 

You have to decide that it is no longer acceptable to say, “I’m too busy to declutter.” 

That’s like saying, “I’m too busy to get rid of the things that make me too busy.”


Go Purge & DeClutter your Bedroom


Make room for drastic changes in your life!

How to find the motivation to work out






There are days I'd rather do nothing. 

I'd rather stay in front of my computer all day long

In fact, I feel like that every day. But I still work out. (ok, most of the times!) I still climb on that stairmaster and sweat it.

How ?

Easy.

I motivate the shit out of myself.
Self-talk myself into believing I wonna work out.

I am my very own personal motivational speaker.

In what way?

By accessing the very same feeling I would have when I reach my fitness goals.

Ok. Here's how it's done.

Sit down and think:

How would you feel when you 've 
-lost 10 pounds?
- been able to fit in those tight jeans?
-had the energy to run ten miles in the morning etc?

Access that feeling now. And write it all down. 

Here is how I would feel if I reached my fitness goals:


''I feel irresistible., strong, beautiful, passionate and attractive. 

I ooze magnetism and charm. People feel my confidence and energy and are attracted by it, wonna be near me so it rubs off on them

Iam getting fitter and fitter every day. Every day I have loads of energy to go about my day and enjoy my life.

I am and feel like a walking miracle.

The more time goes by, the more irresistible attractive and healthy I get . I feel like royalty. My body is finally as magical as my mind.

I am fitness inspiration for many people around me. My confidence and energy makes me even more compassionate, unconventional and fun to be around. 

I am fuckin' awesome!''


You got the idea.

Whenever I'd like to access that feeling or lack motivation for a workout, I read my motivational self talk.

Then, as if my magic, I hop on my stairmaster. 

Because I wonna BE what I have described for myself.

And the only way to do that is to be worthy of those feelings and body manifestations.

And the only way to be worthy of tthat is by DOING what is required of me. At that very moment, at that very instant. Because that instant, my present, is the only thing i ever have. The Now..


Dont look for Inspiration.

Be the Inspiration.

Go do it. Write your own motivational-accessing-the-feeling talk.

You get to decide how it's gonna be like from now on!!

Decide what to be and go BE IT.

Think magically. You are a walking miracle 

Love and hugs
