Organize

by Kacee Must, Citizen Yoga Founder + Owner

I had to laugh when this word was assigned to me. I love organizing our bodies and minds on a yoga mat. This method of organization is non-linear, conceptual, and offers so many different options and methods to the same place. However, when it comes to organizing outside of the yoga space in work and home, I would humbly say, this is not my greatest strength. Recognizing that about myself has become a strength. When I overwork in areas that are not within my inherent nature, I expend unnecessary energy and end up frustrated. I have learned to surround myself with an ecosystem of people with strengths different than mine. 

To me, organize means to balance. Here are a few ways do my best to balance:

• Understand my communication style and teach others around me about my stress patterns, and tendencies so that we can work together instead of against each other. 

• Have someone help me create initial systems that are challenging for me to begin, but I have the ability to work within

• Use props in my yoga practice to find new angles and energies so that I am not always defaulting to my natural habits

• Self-Acceptance has been a huge part of my journey towards balance as it relates to organization. I had to accept that my brain organizes in a non-linear way which provides a different type of creativity and dynamism. 

The challenge winner gets an hour with a professional organizer, who I have worked with personally. She is incredibly helpful and practical. Her systems have worked to help me with my kitchen and kids toys by providing a place for what we use most day to day.
