SUCCESSFUL. WE WANT THE DOORS OPEN AND
PEOPLE TO GO AND EAT.
>> I LOVE THAT.>>> DID YOU EVER
DO THIS? SOME PEOPLE HAVE LOST
THEIR MINDS AND SOME PEOPLE ARE
WONDERING WHAT THIS IS.
I WILL TELL YOU ABOUT THIS.
SHE WROTE A BOOK THAT WAS A
BEST SELLER AND THIS IS WHERE
THE SHOW CAME FROM.
BASICALLY, SHE MADE A METHOD
ABOUT CLEANING UP BY SPARKING
JOY IN ONE'S LIFE.
IT IS A STATE OF MIND AND A WAY
OF LIFE ENCOURAGING US.
>> IT'S NOT JUST ABOUT GETTING
ORGANIZED?
ORGANIZED? NO, IT'S ABOUT FINDING THE JOY.
IT'S A LIFESTYLE AND A STATE OF
MIND MUCH LIKE WHEN YOU TAKE ON
ANYTHING.
ANYTHING.
ANYTHING. IF YOU REALLY WANTED TO GO
FORWARD YOU HAVE TO CHANGE YOUR
LIFE.
LIFE.
LIFE. >>
LIFE. >> YES, YOU WERE JUST TELLING
ME ABOUT THIS.
THERE ARE WAYS TO DO THIS WITH
CAREERS AND RELATIONSHIPS?
>> YES, IT APPLIES TO
EVERYTHING.
EVERYTHING. LAST TIME I TOLD YOU ABOUT THE
FOLDING METHOD THAT SHE DOES.
THE OTHER THING I LIKE IS THAT
IT TAKES PEOPLE FROM DIFFERENT
LIFE SITUATIONS.
LIFE SITUATIONS. THERE IS A WIDOW, A YOUNG
COUPLE.
COUPLE.
COUPLE. IT'S NOT JUST ABOUT HOMES, BUT
THEIR LIVES.
THEIR LIVES. >> I SAW SOMEONE GETTING TEARY-
EYED ABOUT LETTING GO OF
THINGS.
THINGS.
THINGS. IT'S HARD.
IT'S HARD. I'M SENTIMENTAL.
I'M SENTIMENTAL. I KEEP THINGS.
>> SHE ADDRESSES THIS IN EVERY
EPISODE.
EPISODE.
EPISODE. HERE ARE SIX THINGS WE CAN
APPLY TO OUR LIVES.
VISUALIZE.
VISUALIZE. SHE STARTS AT THE BEGINNING
SAYING WHAT ARE YOUR
INTENTIONS?
INTENTIONS? WHY DO YOU WANT TO GET TINY?
>> THE OLD SAYING, IF YOU CAN
CONTROL THE CONTROL.
IF I FEEL LIKE I KNOW WHERE
THINGS ARE AND I FEEL LIKE IT
IS ORDERLY IT MAKES ME FEEL
BETTER BECAUSE THINGS COME UP
THAT I CAN'T CONTROL.
>> ALSO, IT FEELS LIGHTER.
IT WAS A WEIGHT OFF YOUR
SHOULDERS.
SHOULDERS. >> SECOND, STREAMLINE.
STORE SIMILAR ITEMS TOGETHER.
THIS CAN APPLY TO YOUR
HOUSEHOLD ITEMS AND ALSO YOUR
BILLS.
BILLS.
BILLS. YOU NEED TO HAVE THREE PILES OF
BILLS.
BILLS.
BILLS. THE ONES THAT NEED ACTION, THE
ONES THAT NEED TIME IN THE ONES
YOU WILL NEED FOREVER.
SHE MAKES AN IMPORTANT POINT BY
SAYING THIS DOESN'T APPLY TO
PAPER BUT DIGITAL AND EMAILS.
WE GET ONE THING UNDER CONTROL
AND FORGET ABOUT ANOTHER PART.
>> YES, I HAVE 20,000 PICTURES
ON MY CELL PHONE.
I STARTED GOING THROUGH THEM
EVERY DAY.
EVERY DAY. I DELETE 25.
IT IS MY SMALL WAY OF DOING
THIS.
THIS.
THIS. >>
THIS. >> IT'S HARD.
I KNOW THAT THERE ARE A LOT OF
APPS.
APPS.
APPS. WE
APPS. WE SHOULD DO A TECH TUESDAY.
>> I WOULD LOVE THAT.
>> PAY ATTENTION TO YOUR
FEELINGS ABOUT CERTAIN JOBS.
THIS IS LIKE ANY TASK YOU'RE
GIVEN TO DO.
IF WE ARE TO BE HONEST AND
NOTICED HOW WE FEEL ABOUT OUR
ENVIRONMENT WE ASKED WHY DOES
IT MAKE ME FEEL THIS WAY?
IF YOU ARE FEELING AGITATED
ABOUT SOMETHING AT WORK, FOR
EXAMPLE.
EXAMPLE.
EXAMPLE. KEEP ASKING WHY.
IF YOU KEEP ASKING WHY YOU WILL
EVENTUALLY GET TO A REASON THAT
WILL SPARK JOINT AND THEN YOU
FOLLOW THAT PATH.
>> OKAY.
>> OKAY.
>> OKAY. IT SEEMS ABSTRACT.
IT MAY TAKE A MINUTE BUT THAT
IS THE GOAL.
I FEEL LIKE WHEN YOU FIGURE OUT
THE WHY, THEN YOU HAVE GOT TO
GET SOLUTION ORIENTED.
>> I REMEMBER WHEN OPRAH WOULD
ASK THESE QUESTIONS AND I WOULD
ALWAYS THINK, I DON'T KNOW.
THAT WAS THE HARDEST THING.
GETTING STARTED ON FIGURING IT
OUT.
OUT.
OUT. >>
OUT. >> BUT, AS YOU SAID, KEEP
CHIPPING AWAY AT THIS AND WHEN
YOU GET TO THE REALIZATION YOU
CAN MOVE FORWARD.
>> THE LAST ONE IS, FOCUS ON
YOUR NEEDS FIRST.
THIS IS IMPORTANT.
YOU WOULD HAVE YOUR HUSBAND'S T-
SHIRT.
SHIRT.
SHIRT. SHOULD YOU THROW IT OUT?
WE ARE ALWAYS GOING AFTER THE
OTHER PERSONS STUFF BECAUSE
IT'S LESS WORK THAN TO DEAL
WITH OUR OWN STUFF.
CONCENTRATE ON YOURSELF.
DON'T FOCUS ON YOUR COWORKERS
OR YOUR PARTNER.
THINGS YOU CAN'T CONTROL
BECAUSE YOU CAN ONLY CONTROL
YOURSELF.
YOURSELF.
YOURSELF. THAT GOES BACK TO THE POINT YOU
MADE.
MADE.
MADE. >>
MADE. >> I LOVE THIS.
