I’m currently working my way through hundreds of emails welcoming me back to my organizing subscriber email, and one comment prompted me to write something here immediately.
The writer said: “Perhaps we try to organise our lives with a higher goal of subconsciously organising our thoughts and feelings about life.”
I absolutely agree with this. I do believe that my desire to be organized stems from a desire to feel in control of my own life. I also think its possible to create solutions and cause improvement through attention to superficial things, allowing our feeling of wellness to be helped along by anything at all which works, helps, is good for us.
If we can’t easily make sense of our feelings, thoughts, values, beliefs, goals……..why not just have a tidy desk, be able to find our files, our herbs, our socks, use our time productively. If being in a mess and not having our time planned is clearly a contributing or aggravating factor to our depression, or any negative feelings, why not treat the symptoms first, making ourselves comfortable while we continue to spend the rest of our lives seeking the ‘cure’, trying to make sense of life.

I use to have Panic "Attacks" for about a year. I called the paramedics twice. I took a half of a Xanax, but continued to have them, even when my blood sugar was stable. I thought it was my heart, but after extensive tests, my heart doctor told me to get my gallbladder checked out, so I finally did the gallbladder flush that my mom and sis and sis-in-law told me to do, and no more Panic "Attacks". I would never have believed it! My stamina went way up. I drank 5oz. First Cold Press Extra Virgin Olive Oil with 3oz. Coke, and the juice of one lemon. Then I went straight to sleep as told. When I woke up in the morning, I drank one bottle of Magnesium Citrate. The flush got out Gallstones! And of course, no more Panice Attacks! I think that my gallbladder was trying to push out the stones and needed help. My doctor didn't believe me, but I saw them, so I switched doctors. My new doc is Italian, and says he KNOWS how good First Cold Press Olive Oil is, and he believes it, so I go to him. Like I said, my stamina went way up. I do step aerobics 3 times a week and noticed a huge increase in my ability to keep up with my 13 years younger instructor. She was a skeptic before too! It seems gross, I know, but it works. I noticed however, that if I eat pizza too many times, or fried chicken tenders that I get uncomfortable in the area where my gallbladder is, but not as much as it was before, and certainly not with panic attacks anymore, but I can see that if I continued to eat poorly, I could build up stones again. So I have cut back on those foods. I hope this helps someone. God bless y'all.
