Every Action Has an Equal and Opposite Reaction

Brick Wall Wisdom #3

Newton’s Law – Applies to achieving balance and organisation as it does in the physical world.

Force and balance are like oil and water.

In the attempt to get something done forcing something to happen, pushing towards your outcome can be the last thing you need to keep the balance in your life. This is where I found myself at the end of last year.

It’s also true in the case of creating your organised sanctuary of home. I’ve seen many clients do the big clear out, they take a weekend or even a week to do the big push to “organise the house”  forcing themselves to make it happen quickly.

Unfortunately the force creates an imbalance in the people who live in the home. The extra effort is usually exhausting and draining which then makes you feel like you’ve done the job its finished! Getting organised is not a job that gets finished, it’s ongoing everyday that is where the balance and harmony is.
Action: To keep balance and harmony in your home do a little and often. Even better create the routines that help you stay in balance with paperwork, clutter, laundry and preparing meals. Resist actions that come from forceful energy it will only drain you.
