The function of the bedroom is primarily used to sleep in; however, many of us use our bedrooms for a variety of other activities.

How does your bedroom function?  What other activities are performed in you boudoir other then sleeping?

Sewing, exercising, paying bills, watching TV, listening to music, reading, working on the computer, mediating...........

How can your bedroom space be utilized to its fullest?

How would you like it to look?

Is your bedroom functioning as your bedroom or a catch all room?

Is it usefully arranged? 

Stand in the doorway and imagine the perfect room in which to rest your body, mind, and spirit.

With pen and paper, look around your bedroom, starting on a wall and working your way around the room, take inventory: (please print this page out so you won't waste time rewriting the exercise or trying to remember the questions).

What needs to be organized?

What needs to be straightened up?

What needs to be moved or rearranged?

What colors would rock you to sleep at night and soothe you upon waking?

Look at each wall area. 

What’s there? 
A pile of clothes: clean, dirty, folded, unfolded? 
Newspapers, magazines, books, papers? 
Hats, ties, shoes, socks, stockings? 
Toys? 
Snacks, dishes, silverware, cups, or glasses?

Does that stuff belong there?

Where do you want that stuff to * live *?

Where does that stuff belong?

What shouldn’t be * living * there?

Make a list of each "seeable" item.

Do this for all four-wall areas in your bedroom.

Now, look at your surfaces: your dresser, bureau, make-up table, TV stand, trunks, bed, sitting area, and nightstands. 

What’s there? 
Unopened mail, bills, receipts, unfinished projects? 
Presents? 
Perfume bottles, jewelry, make-up?
Ties, coins, money?
Pens, paper, notes, books?
CD’s, videos, audio tapes, remote controls? 
Some of the same stuff you found on the floor?

Does that stuff belong there?

Where do you want that stuff to * live *?

Where does that stuff belong?

What shouldn’t be * living * there?

Make a list of each "seeable" item.

Do this for all surface areas in your bedroom.

Is your bedroom environment organized for sleeping and relaxing or is it full of clutter, chaos and dysfunction?

What is to be kept, stored, and housed in your private, and yes, scared place?

Where can you store or place like items so you will remember where they are, and you can put your hands on the items when needed?

Above all else, remember, life isn't like a magazine picture!  It takes a team of people, and many hours to make up those pretty pictures we see on the glossy pages of our magazines or on the screen of our TV.
