What's the Mess I Will Un-Mess?

Let's stop the mess from spreading.

My sister-in-law died last week.

We struggle with her death for many reasons, especially because she was a hoarder. She died of colon cancer but her cause of death really could be hoarding.

Since her death, I’ve asked myself: What’s the mess I need to un-mess?

This week, let’s do what we can to un-mess our messes before the messes completely derail our life.

We can think about un-messing:

• Situations

• Relationships

• Unhelpful perspectives

• Choices

• Decisions

• The impact of our denial

We can remind ourselves that we can un-mess our messes by asking ourselves this question to begin our day: “What’s the mess I will un-mess?”

What’s the un-mess you will create?
