I can't wait to begin this journey, and will update after I've read the book in its entirety. I can't wait!What helped was I finally decided I did not need to write every day on a Mon, Tues, Wed, Thur, Fri type of schedule. That I could write when I wanted to to. Also what helped was writing into my own journal and not into the book. Now for the book itself. Once you get past the getting started mode it is quite helpful at allowing one to reflect on Should Do, Could Do, and Can do's of life. The reflective questions go beyond the traditional questions you'd expect. The notion of an intention for each week is powerful. The reflective question that asks you to go back over your previous reflections is also quite powerful. The quotes from notable figures was exciting and very inspirational. The book helped me immensely with seeing myself clearier and understanding what I can tolerate, and what I will not tolerate and what I can do about it. Give it a try.If you are in need of some reminders of what you really want in your life, this book offers many different questions that can give you the perspective you need.So as a bride looks into the future, she'll know that she's in great shape when she has actual, useful, organized and entertaining steps to take to bring some order into her world. I just got married in April, and Jennifer Louden's books have always brought me a deeper sense of peace -- this book is the PERFECT book for brides-to-be. You're giving them a better chance at a happy life. That's way better than a blender!Not a rule book, not even an advice book. Almost as if she's walked through a year of life and left a trail of bread crumbs, along with helpful guideposts pointing out potential destinations. Nary a stray hint of blame or chastisement to give credence to that irritating inner voice who loves to list for us all our shortcomings and why we don't deserve, haven't earned the life rewards we desire.http://cq2sc.com/userfiles/boston-vr-m60-manual.xml It's structured enough to give direction but flexible enough to allow my passionate, artist-inside part of me to take control of the process. I bought a boxful of this book, hand them out like precious gems to all my women friends.Unstuck stuff! wwwway good resource. Balance.I had it on my desk and a co-worker picked it up - She couldn't put it down either. I often give up on many of these type of books because they have structure I find too rigid. From the very beginning she encourages you to find your own flow for using the book.A great handbook for self care and self development. Good at focusing you by using goals and intentions at your own pace. I like the way she gets you to do an intention for the week, helps focus me on my goals. Great questions and also nice examples. Very well written and useful as well as a pleasure to look at.It has given me an insight into my tired old ways of dealing with things and given me ideas for ways to move forward. I particularly love the 'mood shifter' index which I find incredibly useful and also the reminders to be gentle with ourselves which is so very important.It isn't about the hows and have-tos of getting organized, it's about reconnecting with your true self, allowing your life to unfold more fully. There are no rules, no strategies, only weekly guided questions and thoughts, interspersed with reflections from others and thoughts about how to tackle difficult times. It is set up to be used weekly in some ways, but you can do a question a day, or a question a week and take as little or as long as you need, skip questions, spend more time on them etc.It is like a warm blanket and a soothing drink, reminding you that you are worth a few moments of thought and rest.It will be a reference book I will definitely keep going back too.

We join hands and listen for the whispers of how we each make a difference. North of Hello we gather the courage for the doing. South of Regret we loosen our jaws, lean our shoulders away from our ears, let our eyes turn upwards. It need not be hard, we have each other.”. In Why Bother? personal-growth expert Jennifer Louden challenges you to open your mind, your heart, and your life by following where the question leads. Through reflection and stories from others, Jennifer demonstrates how to bother when it feels impossible or like too much work, whether after professional defeats, heartbreak, illness, or life-changing loss. She shows why you must prioritize what’s calling you at any time of your life, especially when you’ve sidelined your dreams to raise kids, pay the rent, or take care of aging parents. And crucially, she shows you how tapping into your deepest desires can give you the energy to move forward—even when the world seems in such dire straits. It’s time to reclaim the dignity and beauty of your desires.The Companion CD gives you personalized coaching to help you really use, and stay with, the process — it’s like Jen in a bottle. “ I just have to tell you how much your book has impacted my life.

What does matter is that you hold the intention to approach life organizing, to approach the whole of your life, by honoring yourself just as you are in this moment and by being curious about what you feel drawn to do, or not do, next. It makes everything so much easier when you can trust what you desire, when you can trust your deepest experiences, when you can trust yourself to stay connected and aware, when you can trust that when you do disconnect, you’ll connect again soon. Patanjali prescribed in the second century C.E.: put your attention on wholesome states. Soak in love, compassion, and creativity, and in time the ways of seeing and feeling that produce suffering will fall away and the wholesome states will remain. IntentionYour intention describes what you want. It’s the focus for your energy and the needle in your compass; you direct your energy toward when you lose your way, feel overwhelmed, or need to choose which direction to move in. Show more Book Preview The Life Organizer - Jennifer Louden Author Welcome T his book is my attempt to name, and give a form to, one way of living that I see emerging. It’s a way of living in tune with what is, aware you always have a choice in how you react and what thoughts you believe; it’s a way of living where paying attention to your inner knowing and intuition is as important as logic and to-do lists; it’s a way of navigating life that embraces imperfection while heeding your true desires, where enoughness is your benchmark, and delight and savoring thread through it all. Most of all, it’s a way of living rarely more than a breath away from astonishment at the marvel of simply being alive. This is not a typical self-help book — it’s not meant to be read cover to cover, it’s not offering you advice, and it doesn’t contain a single idea about how to make yourself better than or different from how you already are. Rather, it’s an interactive guidebook, a collection of possibilities to inspire you in creating your way of participating with life and with your gifts. It invites you to use it in any number of ways, toggling between sections, creating your own Life Planner to record responses, depending on what you need or what you are curious about in the instance. My prayer is that you will take the ideas and questions and stories I’ve collected here and create a life you love. I hope that this book will help you reduce stress, widen your perspective, take better care of yourself, manage your multiple roles, and let go of what you can’t control — and that it will help you live in the sweet spot of self-compassion and action. This is a book that you will finish by making the process your own. Join us please. What Is Life Organizing. W hat if there was a way to organize and guide your life that more closely resembled lying back on an inner tube as the current carried you along (with you occasionally adjusting your course because you want to smell a wild rose onshore or because you hit a bumpy stretch) rather than a furious, exhausting upstream paddle. What if self-mercy and listening to your authentic desires were your truest guides, far more trustworthy than gauging how much you accomplish in a day or what you earn. What if feeling confusion and uncertainty was actually a sign that you were on the right path. What if you could erase your sense of never having enough time or energy by cultivating a constant loving connection to yourself. I have been focusing on just these questions, both personally and professionally, for more than twenty years. In general I noticed that most people seem to approach the process of organizing (whether a day, a project, or a life) by setting a goal, breaking it down into doable steps, and then staying the course until reaching the bull’s-eye. This method can be very effective in certain situations — I’m not suggesting that you abandon it — but it’s only half the story, and we’re starving for the rest, for a heart-based, spiritually informed, trusting story. We want to make room for, must make room for, chaos and interruption and accept that most of the time we don’t know the big picture and we can only discern what to do one step at a time. This way of improvising our lives is built on our knowledge that we are creating our lives through how we think, how we react, and where we put our attention. We find that the most direct means to create a life that fits us is to embrace each moment as it arises. I wrote this book because I want to develop this alternative way to shape a life and because it is one way to bring down the Berlin Wall of busyness, the ever-growing belief that to be successful, we must do more and do it faster, a story that is literally killing us. Be warned: this is a subversive way of looking at time. Once you embrace it, you can’t go back. The old models will never wholly fit or satisfy you again; they will always be too much about willpower and force, about your private agendas and the mind’s endlessly inventive stories. The way I’m proposing in this book is frightening at first. It asks you, over and over, to trust, to loosen your grip on life, to soften with compassion and love toward yourself and others. It asks you to stop and feel, to tune in to what you really want and what you already know. To act with more boldness on your hunches and your values and to track with more clarity the outcomes of those bold actions. To serve all of life. This process is infinitely rich and it requires trust in your own experiences, in your own lived knowledge.
