I’ve written on the blog before about how, for me, outer order leads to inner calm.
To quickly give you a few examples, I feel like I can relax when my house is ordered and everything is in its place.
I feel like I can settle down and do good work when my desk is in order and there’s not a lot of stuff laying around.
I heard something on one of my favourite podcasts, Personality Hacker, a few months ago that I want to run by you.
I’m an ESTJ on Myers-Briggs. That J means I like order, structure, things in their place.
What they said was that for Js, outer order equals inner calm. That means a J’s environment must be sorted and orderly for their brains to feel calm.
Completely true for me.
And for Ps, their thinking needs to be orderly and sorted for them to feel calm.
They don’t need their environment to be completely orderly to feel calm.
Wow – such a different take on the process.
Does this resonate for you?
Not?
Nevertheless, most people do say that they feel better if their environment is orderly.
Where do you need to create some order in your home? Is it in your bedroom, living area, kitchen, kids’ room?
Which small steps can you take over the next week to create more order in your life?
