A Year of New Beginnings

     While most of us would like to think that we do not follow the swing of social conventions, the majority of us must readily admit that we too are looking forward to new beginnings this new year.  Whether you have made a new years resolution, or you are just wanting things to be different/better this year we recommend starting tabla blanca, that is, starting with a blank slate.

1.  Small Steps    

     How exactly is this possible, you may ask?  We recommend beginning your new years transformation with daily formations that are added to your everyday rhythms of life.  Still lost?  Let me explain.  Most all new years resolutions fail within the first month of which they are started, this is because most people want to 'tackle the world' so to speak, by adding routines to their days which they have never even practiced until January 1st.  By doing this, most people find extreme discomfort in their new years resolutions because life in general becomes foreign and there is no since of rhythm that is tied to the life they have been living.  So, instead of saying you are going to wake up an hour early to read or exercise, first, learn to add your reading to your current daily routine, i.e..while eating breakfast, or exercising right before you would normally shower.

2.  Starting Fresh

     Another very positive way to start the new year is to start fresh.  This may mean a lot more work at the beginning but, it may set you up to more easily adhere to your new rhythms of life.  One way that we here at Star Storage Self Storage in Grandview, MO recommend doing this is by completely cleaning and reorganizing your work and living space.  We have found that people are more motivated and productive in and environment that is orderly and more conducive to a relaxed mentality.  We recommend clearing the clutter out of the house, office, and garage and putting it in storage.  The result will be an environment that is more easily maintained and less anxiety over the house, office, or garage that has become so cluttered or messy that it is no longer enjoyable.  

     So, while you are still motivated for life transformation this year, put the initial work in so that you can start tabla blanca and the transformation can stem from the existing rhythms of your uncluttered life.

     Come see us at Star Storage in Grandview, MO and we would love to help you with beginning fresh.  We will provide you with tools to help reorganize your life.
