The Joy of a Clean Space: How I Spent My Weekend Working in my compound.

This weekend, I decided to give myself a fresh start by clearing and cleaning my compound. I am never happy when my space looks bushy, and apart from the discomfort, it also comes with danger. Recently, reptiles have been creeping in because of the grasses, and they even killed some of my chickens. That alone pushed me to take the work seriously.

The compound was already looking bushy and scary. Because of the nature of my job, I am hardly at home during the day, I leave early and return late at night, so I never really get the chance to clean the environment. Today was the only free time I had, and I used it well.

I did not have many tools, but I made use of what I had. Funny enough, I used a shovel because the ground was dry and hard, then a rake and a bowl to gather the weeds. It was a long work, from morning till afternoon. The sun was hot, the dust was everywhere, and I even felt some back pain, but I still enjoyed the process in a way. It was stressful, but I motivated myself to finish up.

By the time I was done, the whole place felt different. The air felt fresh, and I had peace within me. A clean space really affects the mind. It gives discipline, peace of mind, and even has spiritual, psychological, and mental advantages. Todays work reminded me that sometimes, cleaning your space is the same as cleaning your mind.

In all, I am happy I took the time to do it. My environment is safer, clearer, and more comfortable, and I feel good knowing I made that happen. Thank you for stopping by my blog
