I remember that morning when I was feeling so lazy and I was totally finding it so hard to stand up from my bed and at that point I knew what was going on, my lazy self was trying to bring out it's so ugly head. Hmm, I thought to myself, Hope, today is Wednesday after all, you don't have plans of leaving the house so since you are feeling this lazy to stand up just stay on your bed! Obviously that's the beginning of downfall another part of me told me.
Well, I was a bit reluctant to stand up so I had to stay there as long as I can remember but then I realized that all the hours I spent feeling so lazy on my bed was wasted. I tried so many times to get useful with myself but I just couldn't be more useful and then I realized how unkept my house was. Hope!!! You are unbelievable! See how unkept the house is and you are seated here comfortablely? Now tell me, how can you do anything right when you can't stand an unclean space? Hope said to herself, hehe.
I jumped up from my bed, plugged in my charger to my phone, turn on the MP3 player and connected through my bluetooth to play some songs while I get the house sparkling! Just the thought of how clean the house would be if I stopped being lazy kept me going. I started with going to the dirty clothes basket to check if there were a lot of clothes to wash and I discovered it wasn't much since I had washed two days ago.
I do manual washing so I had to just put the clothes in a bucket, added water and a little detergent to soak the clothes. After doing that I went for the plates in the kitchen and then I swept the house and arranged everything to where they should be. Tada!!! My house was sparkling! I sighed and I asked myself, okay now Hope, what's so hard in getting that done?! Because I didn't even spend up to an hour (excluding washing the clothes). Well, I washed the clothes last and then I took my bath.
After I was done with everything, my house was clean, I was clean and everywhere was smelling nice, it felt like there was a new inspiration because as I tried doing everything again, they all felt so easy and even more fun! At that point I was reminded how much impact my environment has on me. The impact is really great because as long as I'm in a dirty or noisy environment, it's so hard to pull my thoughts together.
I know I can be lazy sometimes but that has a limit to which I can take it. Even when I'm sick I always look for a way to keep the house clean as much as I can because I know that will help me recover quickly too. I love being in a clean space because it gives me a really good inspiration and it will be stupid of me to not harness that opportunity to its fullest potential, hehe.
And I also love appreciating a clean space and also like helping out if that's the goal of someone. Getting a space clean is something I enjoy doing most of the time except on days when I just feel extremely lazy which seldomly happens. It would be hard for you to see me being productive when my space is unkept, even if I am,m productive, it will take me more time and energy.
Well well, that's it for my response to the hiveghana's weekly prompt on "CLEANLINESS".
