From Chaos to Peace with Conny

Have you ever cleaned your desk or organized a drawer, only to have the chaos creep back in days later? Most people focus only on the goal... a clean, clutter-free, organized space. Unfortunately that alone won't help you become more organized or create a supportive instead of sabotaging environment. In this episode, I share what to do instead and how to go from crisis-clearing to a system that sticks and keeps the clutter at bay.From Chaos to Peace Consulting Inc - https://connygraf.com Schedule a FREE Chaos to Peace Jumpstart Consultation Take the >>> Organizing Personality Quiz

Words are powerful — especially the ones we use on ourselves. Today's Gemini New Moon is an ideal time to explore the sneaky word that clutters our minds and robs us of momentum: “should.” I'll show you why it's time to stop should-ing yourself and share a playful word game that helps you shift from guilt and pressure into curiosity and self-kindness — so you can take action from a place of peace, not push.>>> full Shownotes>>> Download the Intention Setting GuideFrom Chaos to Peace Consulting Inc - https://connygraf.com Schedule a FREE Chaos to Peace Jumpstart Consultation Take the >>> Organizing Personality Quiz

In this episode, I explore how tolerating situations we could change is actually a hidden form of clutter — mental and emotional clutter. I share a personal story about a time I was stuck in tolerating: why I stayed, what kept me stuck, and how I finally got out of it. I also touch on the difference between tolerating and accepting — because when a situation can't be changed, it's not about tolerating anymore. That's where we either resist and stay stuck, or we accept our powerlessness, let go, and make space for more peace.From Chaos to Peace Consulting Inc - https://connygraf.com Schedule a FREE Chaos to Peace Jumpstart Consultation Take the >>> Organizing Personality Quiz

You might think of clutter as just "stuff" lying around — but what if I tell you it's much more than that? In this episode, we'll look at how mental and emotional clutter are connected to our actions and inactions and the results in our life and environment. Using insights from psychology, I'll show how a cluttered mind can lead to heavy, even debilitating feelings and how those feelings impact your actions (or inactions). Our actions and inactions determine what results we are having in our life and business but also impact our growth, self-respect and self-care. This episode will leave you thinking differently about what “clearing clutter” really means and why it's about so much more than just tyding up and getting organized.From Chaos to Peace Consulting Inc - https://connygraf.com Schedule a FREE Chaos to Peace Consultation Take the >>> Organizing Personality Quiz

After a conversation with a friend last week, I knew I needed to talk about this on the podcast. She asked how I was doing, and while I'm usually good at staying grounded, I admitted that the past week had been challenging. She then inquired what I meant by that—how it showed up for me and how I managed to shift out of it. That made me realize struggling to stay grounded might be something you are experiencing too.So in this episode, I'm sharing my raw answer to her, along with insights on how I navigate uncertainty, release worry, and how we can set powerful intentions for peace—both within ourselves and in our daily lives, and the upcoming New Moon  in Pisces is ideal for that. Only when we intentionally create more peace in our own world can we create more peace in the world as a whole.Download your New Moon in Pisces Intention Setting RoadmapSign up for the Intention Setting Zoom Call From Chaos to Peace Consulting Inc - https://connygraf.comGet notified of the next live round of Chaos to Peace Jumpstart

What if beating procrastination and taking action were actually easy? In the book The Map of Consciousness the author Dr. David Hawkins says: "Change and letting go of the familiar is easy, but we avoid it because it seems like effort to the ego. But It only seems like effort if we go at it the hard way of forcing ourselves, by using willpower."He explains that not much effort is actually needed to overcome our aversion to change. Instead, he suggests that by simply paying attention, things can start to shift on their own. In this episode I share with you my results from trying what Dr. David Hawkins suggests, whether I found it easy or not, and I offer some suggestions how you could try this out on your journey from chaos to peace in your home, office, files or finances - what if it were easy to get organized? >> I'd love to hear from you, send me a Text Message ;-)From Chaos to Peace Consulting Inc - https://connygraf.comGet notified of the next live round of Chaos to Peace Jumpstart
