So we're going to make it nice and short and sweet today. I'm just recording all my husbands out getting groceries.
So I'm sitting in the truck just figured, hey, you know what? I'm going to record a podcast right now. So what I wanted to really dive into today and I wanted to give you guys a few takeaways to kind of start implementing in your life, in your business right away as well. I would love to start doing that more with these episodes and let me know if you would love to have more, more like activities to once you listen to a podcast, have like some action, action steps to do.
So you're not only just listening to a podcast, but you're also walking away with something to do and something to shift and change in your life and be able to make those changes in your life and in your business. So let me know if you guys would love that. Just let me know at She Blooms Faithfully on Instagram. So, all right, let's get started. So I used to believe that there's an Albert Einstein quote. I can't remember off the top may have what it is, but it is something along the lines of a cluttered, a cluttered desk is like a busy mind or, I don't know, it was, it was always a positive quote for me and I loved it because my life was always just chaos. There was mess everywhere. Everything was disordered.
Like I did not have any order in my life at all. Like when it came to notes, oh yeah, oh goodness, my teachers in college and school loved me because it was pristine, like pristinely clean. There was, you know, perfect writing, nice and neat, easy to read, very legible, had the highlighters. Oh, I am addicted to highlighters, you guys.
I am a stationary addict, not going to lie, stationary addict here. But I would have these beautiful notes that's easy to read, but the rest of my life was just so disorganized and so chaotic. And that's carried on throughout being an adult as well. And as a business owner, especially if my environment is cluttered, my business is starting to struggle because I can't focus. And this is why a lot of entrepreneurs you'll notice start going to places like Starbucks or the library or just out in nature to work because they're not being overstimulated and they can focus on the task it is at hand that they are doing. When you don't have that sense of chaos around you, you have that moment of peace and clarity as you're just focusing on what it is that you're doing.
It is incredible what it is that you can get accomplished. Like I wrote a devotional called self love devotional for women, and you can get it on Amazon, I'll add it into the links as well. But I wrote that book, I kid you not, it is a 21 day devotional. I wrote it in basically four hours sitting at Starbucks with a coffee.
Four hours, you guys, for a number one best selling devotional on Amazon, four hours. Because I was not being overstimulated, I was not being pulled in different directions, my house mess was not around me, I didn't have my phone turned on, all I had was my coffee, my book, my focus. And more coffee, of course, more coffee.
Always have more coffee. But I didn't have anything around me that was creating different thoughts and pulling me in different directions. And especially as an entrepreneur as a mom, oh my goodness, you guys, I'm not even going to get started on that. I'm always constantly being pulled in different directions. So that's really what I wanted to just give you guys today is if you are losing focus in your life, in your business, look around you. Look around you.
What is getting your attention? What is saying, I need to do this right now. I really need to do this right now. Oh, I should have done that.
I need to do this right now. What is that task or task? Because I mean, it's going to be multiple tasks. If you're being pulled in different directions, it's multiple tasks.
You know, do the dishes, you know, get this done in your business, get that check your email. It could be digital, digital noise, too. It's not always just physical noise in your environment.
It can also be digital clutter as well. So my takeaway for you guys today is I want you to take a look at your life and your business. Just really focus on how it is that you're feeling and ask yourself, what is needing my attention right now?
What is it that is taking my attention away? And write those things down. Write those things down and go, okay, is this something that needs to be done right now? Is this something that I can delegate out? Is this something that I can put off? Like it doesn't need to be done. It's just something that would be nice to do.
What is going to happen if this does not get done? Like ask yourself those hard questions when you're looking around in your environment and whatever it is that's bothering you. And once you start eliminating all those things that are pulling you in all directions, your focus on what really needs to be done, what you really want to be doing, is going to be so much stronger and you're not going to be completely overstimulated by all the things around you because overstimulation, especially as a mom entrepreneur, oh my goodness, like do the dishes, clean up this, make sure this is done, make sure that like, oh my gosh, there's so much to do you guys.
But that is really that. That's what I want you guys to really own in on today is figure out what is overstimulating you and ask yourself, how can I remove this from my life in a way that's going to work for me with my life personally? Like as a mom, I have had, I have like, I don't know if you guys have this, but I have little, I call them little clutter baskets or like not right now baskets. And I just walk around my house and I have this basket of just things like this doesn't belong here, this doesn't belong here. And I just throw it into the basket, I just throw it in there and then I put it aside for another day.
And what happens with that is it doesn't get dealt with right away and it ends up just pushed away into the corner. And then next, you know, the next day I have another basket. So with those, if you do that in your life, I will tell you right now, they're wonderful to do. It's great.
It works fantastic. But you're also creating essentially more clutter and more over stimulation in your life, because if it doesn't get dealt with right away within that day, it's going to end up cluttering and overstimulating you even more. So if that is a habit that you guys have, make sure it's a positive habit that's not going to completely over stimulate you with what needs to be done in your life and your business. And yeah, yeah, that's what I wanted to share with you guys.
And it looks like my husband is coming back from the grocery store. So I hope that this episode helped you in any way, shape or form. It was a very spontaneous episode.
So I hope you enjoyed it. I love you guys. God bless you. And may you remove all that overstimulation in your life and stop procrastinating and just get more shit done.
All right. God bless you guys. If you made it this far in the episode, I wanted to take a moment and just personally thank you and share truly how grateful I am for your support.
