Takes what, five seconds to put in its place. Maybe it's your reading glasses, or the
television remote control that gets lost on a routine basis. just putting the dental floss
back every night in the same place has been MIND BLOWING!! Truly! And has flowed
into other areas!"See how it goes. As your small steps continue and your cortex starts
working, the brain begins to create "software" for your desired change, actually laying down new
nerve pathways and building new habits." (p.27)So, if clearing clutter or reducing stress, or quieting
the chatty mind is something you'd like to work on or improve in your life,
you might consider adopting a daily practice-a literal no-brainer-such as this: Identify one thing that
has no regular home or never seems to make it into it's home, and commit
to putting it away every day for a week.Same thing in the same place, every
day. Think you can do it?Choose a thing or a task that eludes you. Very
useful when your kid is reaching for the kitchen knife, not so helpful when you're
stepping out of your comfort zone to clear out the letters that your high school
boyfriend wrote you forty-five years ago.The problem with the amygdala is that it will jump
at anything that poses a threat...or is uncomfortable, or overwhelming.But there is good news. Having
a place for everything helps us keep things in order nike tn and find them again. Every
day. Though I've thought that this outdated factoid (which always seemed a bit exaggerated) could
not possibly relate to me, I had to smile when I found myself tearing my
entire office apart looking for this very quotation to make my point! I can't say
that it took me fifty-five minutes to locate it, but, if I added the time
it took me to look for the sales receipt I needed to return a set
of curtain rods, plus find the phone number for a subscription I wanted to cancel,
I suppose you could say I'm getting up there.These are the obvious reasons for giving
every thing a home, of course. According to Maurer, it is not only possible to
bypass the amygdala by taking the tiniest action steps as needed to achieve our intended
goal, but we can change our wiring altogether! As he puts it:"Small, easily achievable goals-such
as picking up and storing just one paper clip on a chronically messy desk-let you
tiptoe right past the amygdala, keeping it asleep and unable to set off alarm bells.
One week. Robert Maurer talks about a part of our midbrain that controls the fight-or-flight
response; a three hundred year-old thing called the "amygdala." This alarm mechanism is our built-in
secret service agent if you will, wired to spring into action the moment it senses
danger. That's it.After you've completed Nike Requin any of the above tasks, you can ask yourself: How
hard was that really? What does it feel to consciously place this thing where it
belongs? How does the room feel to you now? You might be pleasantly surprised by
what you discover, as did one of my students who shared: "... One week. I
once saw a staggering statistic in Newsweek: "It takes the average American fifty-five minutes every
day-roughly twelve weeks a year-looking for things they know they own but can't find" (Newsweek,
June 7, 2004). For example you can increase to two things, once a day, for
one week. Or increase a task by two minutes, once a week. It helps us
get to the car in the morning without tripping over shoes, backpacks, or purses.Giving things
a home helps us know when we have too much stuff. Discovering that there is
zero space in the bookcase to jam another paperback, or zero coat hangers to hang
the new outfit we just bought on sale, for example, gives us instant feedback that
something has to give or something has to go. If it goes smoothly after a
week, consider increasing a simple action or routine and/ or the time you spend on
it by a factor of one. Do anything as long as it feels good to
you and does not stir up the fight-or-flight response (which would be indicated by a
pang or feeling of stress or overwhelm).Without even realizing it you may discover, as I
have, small joys leading to bigger ones beyond your wildest imaginings.Stephanie Bennett Vogt, MA., is
the author of Your Spacious Self: Clear Your Clutter and Discover Who You Are and
a leading expert in the field of space clearing. Or increase a task to twice
a day. How about the car keys? Dirty clothes in the hamper? Clean dishes from
the drainer to the cabinet just above it? Cell phone connected to its power source
before heading to bed...?And if that's still too much to manage, what if you slid
the chair back in every time after using your desk or after eating dinner? Or
put the toothpaste cap back on the tube? Turned the lights off? Toilet seat cover
down...?One thing, or one pile, or one area. Housing things properly holds us accountable and
keeps us honest.At the risk of sounding a bit like one of those late night
infomercials, I have to say: And there's more! If nothing so far moves you to
start picking up after yourself, you might consider the positive effect that repetitive actions have
on your brain.In his wonderful little book, One Small Step Can Change Your Life: The
