hi I'm Alexei and I want to share with you one of my biggest frustrations which holds me back sometimes um I'm the type of person I don't know about you but I'm the type of person who loves doing 10 things at once just because my mind is so active and I like keeping busy because that keeps me on the ball and yet one of my biggest frustrations is clutter which is kind of a byproduct of my busyness you don't create messes everywhere usually when I'm in a productive mode there's just piles of stuff that that happens around me like for example here is my coffee table and there is my bench over there which should be for sitting and relaxing but there are some curtains there that my boyfriend brought home and there's a stack of mail and my purse and by the way there's the trash where I was starting to put stuff away but I kind of never got to it because I'm just crazy busy you know I'm learning all this new technology for my business to put it online and yet in between coaching sessions and doing that and the admin and the paperwork who has time to clean up their clutter and yet I chose a baddie you know so that is one of my biggest frustrations that I want to share with you today because I'm going to take the next hour to clean it up because then I know it'll help me clean my head and I will like to share it with you when I'm done so i will be back in an hour okay so that took a little longer than i expected it took an hour and a half but i am so glad i am done and what I learned from that experience was in the beginning as I was cleaning off my little coffee table and the bench I was I noticed the self-talk inside of myself like I hate this I hate this I hate this I hate this and I'm a life coach and I help people overcome their challenges and for me I noticed what I was programming into my head which is I hate this of course I'm going to hate every moment that I'm doing it and when I caught myself saying that to myself okay indulge for a few more minutes I have to admit but after I did that I you know I was acting like a little two-year-old going yeah he'd clean my room and you know what I realized well I'm gonna have to do this because I committed to it and i'm doing a video on it and i want to do it for me you know i deserve this i deserve to have a clean coffee table and bench and I deserve to take a little time out to just pick up after myself because that's one of the things I really don't enjoy because to me it doesn't seem very productive and really it is because if there is not enough room to put my stuff down and move around or if I can't find things then I'm not as productive as I could because I'm always searching through piles of stuff you know that if they were much more organized I could be way more effective so what I learned in this process is that I can actually enjoy putting my stuff away and sorting the bills and sorting the mail and sorting the paperwork because I found stuff I found a check for sixty dollars and I didn't even know that and then another check for 20 so I found eighty dollars in cleaning up and had I not gone through that stack who knows it would have probably just SAT there forever so anyway um that was a really really good experience aside from the money or in addition to the money and so I encourage you to see what is cluttered in your home and see if you can get rid of it you know I know for me that I don't like clutter and yet I don't give myself in the past I haven't given myself the time to get rid of it and now I will because I really enjoyed that process on the back end and yeah so I guess that's it for now for my biggest frustration and what's interesting is I came up with my next biggest frustration which I will share with you in my next video so stay tuned until then I'm Alexi and i'll see you soon you
