Thought Model + Decluttering

Thought Model:

C (circumstance) - describe as neutrally as possible.

T (thought) - you have a very subtle thought about it.

F (feeling) - that thought creates a feeling.

A (action) - from that feeling, you do something/ you don’t do something you would have done.

R (result) - you create a result in your life.

Let’s look at an example….

(Circumstance) “Something happens.”

ex: You drive into your garage and see stuff on the shelves, on the floor.

(Thought) - Note these thoughts compound so quickly, try to identify the first one, or the “most basic”.

ex: I shouldn’t have so much stuff in here.

ex: I hate having so much stuff in here.

(Feeling) - slight depression, sadness, frustration

(Action) - ignore the mess and get into the house

(Result) - the garage stays the same way - with stuff on the shelves, on the floor.

If you want a different result, you have to change your thoughts.

No new “action” happens without a different thought.

If your new thought is “I want to clean it up” or “I want to tackle this one small section”, you will create a different action and therefore a different result.
