1. Message of the Day
DON'T GIVE AWAY YOUR POWER
Don't give somebody else the ON/OFF button of your determination.
A recovering Messie wrote: I have come a long way and have the desire
until my husband says something that hurts me emotionally (concerning
the house). Then I feel frozen and the thought of no desire seems to
come back. I feel like I am in a never ending cycle.
Whoa, cowgirl! Get off that horse!
You need to dismount in two ways.
Quantify his remarks. That means to look at them in an objective way.
Keep a log of what he says and number how it affected you on a scale
of 1-5, five being the worst. The fact that you are examining the
remarks will make them more intellectual and less emotionally hurtful.
Decide what to say in response. Make your comments in return unemotional
and very different from previous responses. Don't disagree. If he says,
"You aren't doing any better than before your started this whole MA
program," you may reply with a smile and a shake of your head, "Really!
I guess you see things different from me." Then you move on. That way
you are putting your opinion on the same level as his. This is only one
way to diffuse his comments.
You can think of others.

be? Identifying it clearly is important for improvement.

7. From the Trenches
INSIGHTS ON HOARDING
Might I throw out the suggestion that in some cases... each thing is a
way of HIDING.
HIDING from pain of some sort, or stress of some sort, seems to be
behind obesity in most cases. (I hurt: so I will eat and feel better
for a little while) I am talking here about genuine obesity—not
"being chubby."
HIDING is also what we end up doing after we live a lifestyle filled
with clutter. Hoarding is collecting gone mad it seems. Part of that
might be, as we hoard this or that, there is a feeling of ACCOMPLISHMENT
or even of "winning" if we acquire something in the realm of what we
choose to hoard.
While we are in "the process" of "acquiring" it can be a very heady
feeling....and a feeling that HIDES us from whatever is going on in
our life. As long as we turn our attention to what seems comforting
or exciting...then we can avert our eyes from the boring, difficult
or monotonous tasks ahead of us.

Note: Not all Messies are hoarders but most keep too much stuff and
the ideas given here may apply.

MESSIES ANONYMOUS SLOGAN
Please memorize this slogan and post it on your wall.
The secret to success is making very small, yet
very consistent, changes.
Or to make it short; Baby steps, baby steps in the
right direction.
Never underestimate the inevitability of gradualness.
