Each week for as long as I’m digging it, I’ll share my responses to the Life Organizer questions. We do this together at the Comfort Cafe every week. Join us!
This is a modified 3 month review, a process that spirals throughout the Life Organizer. The questions here are a bit different because we are using the LO differently at the http://www.comfortqueen.com/comfortcafe/about-the-cafe, and if you are following along in the book, feel free to combine the book version with this one!
What is the quality of my life’s journey over the last three months (might help to glance at your calendar or journal if your memory is anything like mine)?
The quality of my life is one of increasing reverence for the power of choice. I choose how I react!!! I choose how I can be powerful and creative. I see this in deeper and more subtle ways every day.
Using three words, how would I sum up how my life is feeling?
Expansive
Grateful
Love-Blessed
What have I been creating in the last three months?
Positive eyes that can see a hopeful, creative world (it’s there, and I can see it)
A new focus for my work
Fantastic material for the Comfort Cafe (and wonderful community)
Notes for a fun novel
A strong new family
An incredible love with Bob
More community on my little island
New retreats
As I look back over this time frame, when have my shadow comforts been most active? What about my time monsters?
Shadow comforts are pretty non-existent right now; time monsters are under siege because I am planning each workday THE NIGHT BEFORE and learning ever more skillfully how to modulate and shepherd my intense creative energy. I am choosing to do so using a variety of tools.
What are some ways I have been kind and accepting of myself?
Working fewer hours, treating my work like a day job
Getting acupuncture and pt for my leg
Yoga, meditation, Shiva Nata, and chanting every morning
Took a totally off line vacation! Going to take another one in September!
Limiting email
Do I notice any relationship between self-kindness and self-acceptance and shifts in the direction of my life?
Um, like TOTALLY. Deep love for myself allows me to trust in my innate, goodness. That, in turn, allows me to make playful, spacious choices in every area of my life. Because my self-worth is not on the line, so it’s all good.
So my plan for this week is choosing life.
What about you? Will you use some or all of these questions to notice what you want more or less of this week? I’d love to hear your thoughts.

What have I been creating in the last three months?
I have been laying the groundwork to have the strength to experience deep pain that has burdened me for a long, long time. Without realizing it, I’ve been preparing for the depression I’m in now. On a deep level, I’m opening boxes of pain I’ve had put away for a very long time. Now I’m ready to sink into this sorrew, feel battered and bruised, but also feel strong enough to come out of it again, this time able to heal the pain and be done with it.
I’ve been getting ready to re-break broken parts of myself so they can grow into healthy, strong parts.

I didn’t realize that was the case until I read the question in your post! Then it all just welled up out of me – Thank you!

My new mantra recently has been “no authority greater than my own.” I very much related to your letting go of self help because I had come to something similar on my own. I am always reading articles, books etc to “improve” myself until it just becomes that much unnecessary chatter in my mind.
I want to come to a place of stillness where I can hear the messages within that guide me.
My life has been throwing me some heavy duty challenges in the last month and I am still on my feet! I can so much relate to what hope said about “opening boxes of pain.” Each of these challenges is offering me to opportunity to open my own boxes of pain from the past and in letting them out into the fresh air and stillness, I can see them in a new way
