Dealing with stress has many dimensions. The causes of stress are so spread out that discussing and dealing with all the factors is just impossible.

Do every little thing that helps you reducing stress. Nature is one of them and it stands tall in the factors reducing stress. It heals your mind and makes it calm.

Increasingly, doctors are seeing a few moments spent in a park as the perfect prescription for a good many stress induced modern ailments. Experts say – gardening has a therapeutic effect – more so while getting down on your knees and getting dirty composting, sowing, hoeing, raking, heaping.

Studies show that whether you are planting a showy clump of dahlias or a little coconut sapling, this very experience can lower your blood pressure, reduce pain, ease stress, lift your mood, and give your immune system a massive boost.

The reason if you think basically is plants connect us to ourselves, the earth and to a bigger extent the whole universe. They take us to standstill where no worries matter, and that little thing occupies our mind to give pleasure.

This ability to heal by plants and the therapeutic effect of garden in a whole has given rise to an entirely new profession- horticultural therapy.

We all have experienced that being in a stressful situation; the mind gets totally occupied with the problem. Jay Stone Rice, a Californian psychotherapist, affiliated with Horticultural therapy institute, sums it up with a very powerful reasoning of reducing stress through plants. He says “In intense stress or depression we lose the feeling that we can change. We feel stuck. But plants put us in touch with the natural cycles of life and teach us that there is always a new cycle, a rebirth, a life being renewed.”

Indeed a very powerful sum up. Such little things in life and few changes in habit can go a long way in dealing with stress in our life.

You start misfiring in all you work, and life will soon start firing innumerable stress at you that is difficult to handle. Organized living is one of stress management techniques that very few but successful and happy people use in their life either consciously or unconsciously.

There is no shame if you are not organized in any some of your work. In fact a perfectly organized person seems so boring! Life is definitely not so cool for him or her.

Ok, jokes apart, the clutter created out of badly managed life events and whole life itself is too much to handle after sometime. You are late for an appointment, but before leaving you need to write the handyman a note and tape it to the backdoor. You riffle through the contents of the kitchen catch all drawer, but there is none to be found. Is it buried under mounds of recipes, house keys, playing cards…And then you ultimately found the notepad, and now where is the pencil?

Do you see the picture now? You don’t need to be perfectly perfect. You just want to be organized enough to feel less stressed, stop beating yourself and to feel to be in complete control.

The most unique problem to getting organized

Now here is a typical problem most of us face when we try to get organized.

People are disorganized because they are always in search of a foolproof solution. Ironically these people often end up with the worst disarray because they think if they can’t attain their deal; it is not worth doing at all.

Always identify 2 or 3 areas of clutter that bug you the most on a daily basis, the mail pile or the mounting newspapers or getting late for a particular task like to office etc. Make a point to stay in control of those activities. Let the other things in your life be a mess. After correcting one problem, you may jump on to the other ones.

Chaos is not the same as creativity. Once you get organized, you will have more time for ideas, planning and execution for nay job. So don’t allow any thoughts for getting on getting organized.
