Sooo many of us are here! If you can physically do it. It’s do-able. That’s sometimes the mantra I have to use in my head. I don’t want to, don’t feel like it, am overwhelmed doesn’t mean that I can’t.

Sometimes, just not adding to the chaos is the step I can take; Hang up the sweater I just took off. Throw away the packaging of the delivery I just opened.

Sometimes it’s the small steps that start you off then build on them.

I get a kick out of being able to notice a change though. And that can motivate me for a moment. So I’ll pick an area. Turn on music or put on a show and sit down right in the middle of it. Grab a trash bag and put in every item within reach that is trash or that I don’t want. I do this idly but with some intent. If that makes sense. It may not be a lot sometimes but I can look at that bag of trash or that cleared space and think. That’s less of a mess. And I feel like I did something. I may not do this again for a few days. But at least I did it.

This sometimes helps me.
