When we bring structure into our lives, we are able to focus our energy.  When we focus our energy, we can accomplish great things!

Look around.  Do you feel like you have things in some sense of order?  Is your life in order?  Are you generally on-time for appointments and meet-ups with friends and family?  Do you feel like you have your “life in order?”

These are questions that most people cannot answer in the affirmative in all cases.  We are here to tell you, that it is okay to not have everything in “order.”  That is part of this life’s experience.  It is also important to know that we cannot control anything!  We cannot control our life’s journey.  However, we can set our intentions, and disconnect from outcome.

When we live in some sense of a structured environment, we can be much more efficient in the journey to our beacons.  When things are well-structured, everything seems to “flow.”   Things like eating, getting dressed and being on-time become simple.  When we have a sense of order around us, we can accomplish the regular somewhat mundane things with little energy.  That gives us the energy to devote to other things, such as our relationships and our work.  When things are not “in flow” with a non-structured environment, we expend so much energy to eat, get dressed, and be on-time, there is little energy remaining for relationships and our work.

Look around, and ask yourself if you feel like you have some sense of structure and order in your environment.  Do things seem somewhat easy to do?  Things like eating, getting dressed and getting out the door in the morning?   If so, you have built an environment in which you can easily function.  If not, we are here to tell you that you can easily build the structure to make your life easier.

What is the structure that we are speaking of?  You might ask.  It begins with your home.  Keeping the clutter to a minimum allows for you to have the space – both emotionally and physically to do the tasks that need to be done.  Finding a “home” for all of your things allows for you to easily find whatever it is you need with little thought and expenditure of energy.  Having a plan for your meals, what you might wear to work, and other daily tasks is also helpful.

The biggest key is to understand when you have a lack of structure in an area of your life, so that you might address it.  Find ways that work for you, and address the areas that are lacking in structure.  When you “see” the chaos around you, you can easily work on removing it.  It’s when we do not even realize there is “chaos” around us, that we cannot function.  The unseen chaos in our lives is usually the cause of your depleted energy.

Today is a great day to look for the “non-structure” in your life.  It might be so unstructured that you refer to it as “chaotic,” or it might be more subtle.  Just remember the leaky faucet consumes more water than what is used in the entire house!  Enough leaky “energy faucets” can consume your supply of energy for the day.  Find those areas, and build some structure to give you the energy to follow your passions!

When we have a sense of order and structure in our environment, we are rewarded with being on-time for appointments, spending little time preparing the meals, and always feeling good about what we are wearing.  These are just of few of the ways that a bit of structure can impact your life.  But the most important reward is the extra energy available to you to accomplish your dreams!
