Order

“a straightening out so as to eliminate confusion”

I find that when things are in some form of order, it’s much easier for me to find things and along with being a major time saver. As a simple example…Just this morning I was working on a list of 200 French verbs that ChatGPT gave me a while ago. It put them in order by most to least used to help me know which verbs to learn first. We’ll call this list A.

Today I was working from a different source for verbs with the intent of adding to my A list only those that weren’t already there. We’ll call this list B. The process would have gone a whole lot faster if I had just put list A in alphabetical order because with each list B verb, I had to scan the entirety of list A to see if it was already there.

The whole time I’m telling myself…this would be so much easier if list A was in alpha order…but another part of me didn’t want to go through the time and effort to sort them…so I opted to suffer through it, while my “order” part and “out of order” part battled out inside my head.

As another example: I’m also in the middle of slowly and steadily decluttering my home…because I can no longer deal with the angst of the clutter chaos. As each small area is cleared, I feel more and more joyful. It lightens my heart to see a cleared away floor or table top. It’s becoming easier to find things…especially those things that I totally forgot I had!

I call my declutter process: OITH (order in the house).

How about you? Is order a core value for you?

BTW…here’s what it looked like to begin with …

About the 2024 Mandalas of the Day

Each day I will create and post a mandala inspired by one of 366 “value” words chosen randomly. The objective being to discover for myself which ones would best represent my core values…and by doing so, I hope it inspires you to determine your own.

My Mission: connecting with our Inner Light in delightful, inspiring ways For me, creating mandalas is more than just coloring pretty patterns in a circle. I do it because my spiritual evolution and creativity require it of me. My mandala designs come about within an active meditative state, connected with my higher self, my spiritual guides and nature spirits. Together, we bring into form, mandala art the allows me to re-connect with my own inner peace and joy, letting me explore and expand my own creative spirit to however far and in whatever direction I want to take it. As part of my own spiritual journey, I encourage, and hopefully inspire, others to explore their own creativity, to help them re-connect with their own inner peace and joy. As a means to that end, I make all of my mandalas available for people to color. Why should I have all the fun?
