Hey Gretzyjunior.

You're one intuitive guy!

Even though you have made some strides in self improvement, your not feeling the gains because of your inner turmoil. I have been going through the same mess. And I use the word mess for a reason. There are aspects of life that I have improved on but I also feel the let down or the holding back of total , no complete acceptance, because my personal surroundings are not all in order. And it jumbles your insides.

We have been working on our kitchen now for going on close to two years. We have been without a kitchen sink for over a year. We have a make shift counter top that we are using and I just recently painted and screwed the cupboards to the walls. So everything in my kitchen is all over the place. MY basement is loaded with the new stuff that will be going in and with stuff that used to be in my cupboards. Everything is a mess and jumbled all over the place. So preparing meals is chaotic and exhausting.

So I am comparing this to your room.

Now go clean up your roomNah only kidding.

But try it.

First go through your stuff and throw out anything you haven't used in, say, the last six months. Then sort through stuff. Find a place for everything. (this is what I need to do)

I used to hang around with this guy who was an expert at organizing. Oh he was so good.

Be strict with yourself and delegate one day. Just one. Say a Saturday,if your not playing hockey, or a Sunday. Start on it early in the morning and just keep going.

Good luck. (I mean that seriously) and see if that doesn't make you feel better.
