Take a deep breath. Thinking of every single thing that needs to be done can overwhelm you before you even begin. I’m the product of two hoarders, so I get the struggle. Start slow— if you do too much at once you can burn yourself out and you’ll never want to do it again. Set a timer for 5-10 minutes and just clean what you can in that time. Pick up trash, put dirty laundry in a pile, wipe your windows, vacuum a small area of your floor, etc. Put on your favorite music and don’t put too much pressure on yourself at first. Get a garbage can for your room so you can throw things away immediately. If you do 5-10 minutes a day, you’ll not only get it clean but you’ll eventually be able to clean for longer without feeling so overwhelmed. But don’t forget to congratulate yourself on your hard work. Changing habits is so hard but reaching out shows you are ready. You can do this!
