This would be the thoughts that weigh you down. For most of us it is the fears and negative things that we tell ourselves. It can also be the guilt and anxiety that comes from poor decisions.  Limiting Beliefs will stop you every time.  This are areas that if you don’t identify and address, then you will never be able to move forward to you full potential.

Clutter takes up space whether it it is in your house or around your desk. How can you open up and bring in new successes if your space is already full of the old clutter? Physical clutter can be a distraction and result in a lack of focus while working.  It also can add stress to you life.  When part of your life is unorganized or cluttered, many women will take that on emotionally and it manifests as a stress in their body. When you organize room in your physical space you are allowing room for new things to come in to your life.

Time:  Clutter eats up your time. It take times and energy away from your goal chasing when your schedule is a mess. When you are not keeping it neat, then you are not free to prioritize your time. When you don’t have your goals set as a priority, it will be hard to achieve them.

Spontaneity:  Likewise, if you keep your schedule so full and packed that you don’t allow yourself some spontaneity to have lunch with a dear friend or game night with the family, then you can find yourself missing the connection to those you love in your life.  Ironically, more time with loved ones is why so many of us are entrepreneurs.

Productivity:  An over busy schedule is also a quick way to slow down your productivity.  Wait… what!!!  Yep, you heard me right.  An over busy schedule is one of the fastest ways to slow down productivity.  Several things start happening at moments like this.

When you get too busy, you began quickly going from one activity to another.  When this happens you often start doing mediocre on each of the areas and production goes down.  This is opposed to doing less activities with more precision and a higher quality of productivity.

Self Care:  Additionally, When your schedule is cluttered one of the first areas you begin to let melt away  is self care.  This is time to pray, meditate, visulaize, do yoga, exercise, read a book, sit outside in the sun…whatever it is that recharges you.  You erase time for these activities that bring you peace, energy and sanity, and you will find yourself more stressed, tired and unfocused than ever.  This will me less productivity for you as you work to achieve your goals.

Emotional Clutter will eat at you and can interrupt your goal crushing. Sometimes, you may have the moments in life where events from the past may eat at you consciously or even subconsciously.

When we allow the bad memories and feelings to hang around as emotional baggage, it will mess with us and reduce our effectiveness. This will clutter our emotions and make bringing success into your life difficult.

Emotional clutter  is  one of the main things that often lead us to limiting beliefs.  For example, imagine growing up that you often heard the statement, “We don’t have the money for that.”  Although it may have be a true statement in that moment of time, what a young mind might have heard this from an authority figure they trusted may have processed it as, “We aren’t the kind of people that have things like ________.  (new cars, take trips, expensive shoes, whatever it was just fill in the blank.) .

The problem with thoughts like this is that over the years, our subconscious will quietly remind us of this belief and it will limit our thinking and shake our resolve when it comes to reaching goals.

The gut punch is we don’t even realize why we struggle to believe financial abundance (in this example) is possible.  We just know that for some reason we have a hard time believing abundance is meant for us.  Is this hitting a nerve with anyone?

The good news is this limiting belief can be broken.  (I have great blog on this coming so watch for it.)
