30 days: Change your habits, Change your life

in your private life, your job, your house, your friends,
yourself, etc.
Don’t get scared if you write down 50 to 100 things. It’s normal.
Once you write them all down, group them. Which ones are easy to
handle? Which ones can YOU handle? For now, leave the ones that
don’t depend on you. Have a look at them after a couple of weeks.
The funny thing I’ve seen with my clients is that some of the

tolerations that don’t depend on you disappear on their own once
you take care of the ones that you can handle.
For example, my client Martina had huge problems with a
colleague at work. He really drained her energy. She worked on the
tolerations she could handle and the list got emptier. Three months
later, her colleague suddenly changed jobs and left the company!
Now was that just a coincidence or was it a consequence of her
working on her tolerations? I’ll leave the choice to you. Fact is that
she is a lot happier at work now! Try it out for yourself and keep me
posted!
Action Step:
Make a list of all the things that annoy you—in your private life, your
job, your house, your friends, yourself, etc.
Start working on it as described above!

Clean out your cupboard
Bottom line is, if you do not use it or need it,
it’s clutter, and it needs to go.
—CHARISSE WARD
Do you want something new to come into your life? Do you ever
notice that as soon as you get rid of some stuff and create space,
the universe doesn’t take long to fill this space again? It’s all about
energy. If you have too much stuff that you don’t use in your house, it
drains your energy! Coaching is about improving your whole
environment and that includes uncluttering. Start with your cupboard.
Here are some tips:
• If you haven’t worn it for a year, you probably won’t wear it any
more.
• When you think “This will be useful one day” or “This reminds me
of good times”—out it goes.
When I unclutter, I usually give stuff away for free. It just makes me
feel better and somehow, I think life/God/the universe will reward me
for it. Once you are done with the cupboard, take on the whole
bedroom. Later, move on to the living room, clean out your garage
and end up cleaning up your entire home and also the office. Get rid
of everything that you don’t use any more: clothes, journals, books,
CDs, furniture, and so on. One of my clients uncluttered his whole
apartment in one weekend. He felt so much better and lighter, and
got an energy boost that helped him to finish a whole bunch of his
short-term goals. He never looked back.
