Organize Bedroom, Inside Out

Many people become easily overwhelmed when thinking about how to organize bedrooms. This is often because the bedroom has become a multi-purpose room instead of a sacred space.

Does this sound familiar?

A couple "relaxes" in the bedroom, watching TV. One of them is looking through scattered papers on the bed and eating crackers, while the other one is clipping his toenails and talking on the phone. Not exactly what most people would like to experience in their ideal bedroom.

For most adults, the bedroom really only has three main uses: sleeping, sex/making love, and getting dressed.

All other activities and objects act as distraction, avoidance, or clutter.

Have you ever entered a room and felt immediately peaceful and calm? It was most likely because there were not many distractions and it was not cluttered. This change in feeling and mental state by a change in your immediate environment is called a "state change".

How good would it feel if you could experience a state change every time you entered your bedroom? Maybe it could be the place you can feel romantic and playful with your significant other. A place where you know you can rest, relax, and rejuvenate your relationship, as well as your mind, body, and spirit.

First you need some Inside-Out techniques and tools, such as The Brain Dump, Emotional Releasing Techniques, and The Power of Intention.

What does the bedroom represent to you? What would you like to experience?

Some Example Intentions for the Bedroom:

• "My bedroom is my safe haven where I rest and sleep deeply, awakening refreshed and rejuvenated every morning."
• "Our bedroom is our romantic retreat where we re-connect with each other, deepen our relationship, and enjoy sacred and satisfying lovemaking often."
• "I feel put-together, complete, and organized when I get dressed because I know I have clothes that I love and look good in, in just the right amount, and I can locate the perfect accessories easily."

Put your intentions in the present tense as if you are already experiencing them. Allow them to guide your actions as you move through the next steps.
