Your brain is the most powerful tool you have. But is it as crisp and fresh as it could be? Messy people sometimes feel that their brain is just as messy as their homes. What you believe and think determines how you handle your emotions and may even determine which emotions you have in the first place. The article reveals two surprisingly easy ways to fine-tune your most valuable tidying tool: your brain.

How big do you think? – Messy and hoarders can feel desperate about their plight at times. It may even seem difficult to get started because the problem seems so big.

Smart idea: This is where baby steps really come in handy. Your mind will wander off something if it seems too overwhelming. But if you give your mind a few tablespoons, it will accept what you give it much more easily.

Affirmations – Your mind has a script of thoughts that run almost all the time in the background. Your mind tends to believe what fills it the most. You may have thoughts that tell you that your messy situation is desperate or that no one will want to help you. These can make you feel trapped and isolated. Releasing techniques followed by positive affirmations can help rewrite that script into something positive and uplifting.

Smart idea: You can literally “change your mind” by changing your thoughts. Add more positive thoughts about how you want to be: calm, relaxed, focused, clear, upbeat, and flexible.

“Steady progress every day”

“I am stable, every day; I am recovering, every day.”

“Baby steps, every day”

“Clean and clear, getting closer”

All the suggestions described above will help you improve the functioning of your brain so that you can smoothly put your life in order. Research has also shown that hypnotherapy is helpful for the disorderly and hoarders. A skilled hypnotherapist uses release, affirmation, relaxation, and deep breathing techniques to help clear your mind. Life can be easier.
