"I was dreading the basement from the beginning of the organizing. It has felt overwhelming to even think about for a long time. Even after I made a lot of progress down there in 2020 it still felt huge to me. And it was the major reason I asked for help. Years of two steps forward and three steps back down there had me thinking it was TOO much to deal with. But with my trusty guide we dove in. She decided to move a big shelving unit that in my head would have taken 4 people a week to do - she did it in about 45 minutes. (See how our brains make things harder than they might really be?) During our first session in the basement we organized the storage area - it is the best it's looked in the 19 years I've lived here. Last night I spent time in my new workout space. I put most of the workout stuff scattered around my house down there (yoga props, foam roller, exercise ball) and spent time simply stretching and doing a few mobility exercises. Acquainting myself with the new space. Getting used to a new space free of a mess that doesn't serve me. I'm also trying to get acquainted with this new version of my brain. Where I let go of the big messy things that don't serve me."
