Coaching Corner: Put Your Toys Away!
By Master Coach Marilou Butcher Roth
Many years ago, there was a catchy song designed to help parents get their kids to put away their toys. It went like this: “Put your toys away….don’t delay….help your mama have a happy day. Put your toys away….don’t delay….then when you want them you can find them right away”. Ah, yes, that song has found a permanent home etched in my memory after singing for countless years, hoping to find an easy and effective method to encourage my four young boys to clean up their countless messes.
Let’s fast forward to our lives today. We are in our homes more than we were, some of us working full to part-time there. If you find yourself in your home for longer periods, you want to experience ease, not just while you are home, but in all of the physical spaces you frequent. If you are experiencing clutter in the places where you spend your time, you might unconsciously bring more uneasy feelings into your life.
Today, put some attention on your physical surroundings - are things the way you want them, or is there unnecessary clutter staring back at you? If so, put your toys away, and you too will find that you have a happy day!
