We are often told how important order is in life.
It is quite common for us to be told from an early age that we must have an orderly room, to be taught to make the bed or fold the clothes when we take them off. However, the situation is different if the children listen.
Although when we are small this seems a nuisance, with time it becomes clear how important order is in our lives, an aspect that the psychiatrist Enrique Rojas supports on his social networks, where he shares some of the tips learned over the years of the profession and which are the basis of his teachings, he writes
Four benefits of order
“Who has a good education of the will is who has worked deeply on order and constancy,” explained the specialist in psychiatry in a post on his Instagram account for some time. “If the battle for order in personal life is delayed and does not take place in the early years, it will cost us much more. Without a base or a springboard, getting certain values will take a lot of effort until they become part of habitual behavior.”
For Enrique Rojas, order offers us four great benefits, not always taken into account, but which can be essential throughout life, which is why he emphasizes the importance of instilling it from childhood.
It leads us to be more free and responsible.
“Psychological maturity is acquired step by step, through work and overcoming frustrations,” explains Rojas. If everything is obtained from the first and without effort, one does not face the frustration of not succeeding. Failure causes us to try again and learn from the process.
It provides inner and outer peace.
Rojas talks about peace and serenity: “You are in reality, with your feet on the ground, without wishing for too many things and without claiming impossible facts.”
Joy and efficiency.
This is another benefit of maintaining an orderly life. “It’s the reward of effort and perseverance. Time expands and you get the feeling that you manage to do everything, if we were able not to waste ourselves.”
Care for the small details.
“Putting love into the little things, striving to do them with heart and mind, and accomplishing tasks calmly, slowly,” is another aspect that tidiers benefit from.
For Rojas, order is something fundamental to personal development, and he points out that it is much easier to acquire if it is a part of our lives from childhood — an essential thing, because it can positively transform different aspects of our lives.
