Take pride in how you clean. Whether it is once a week, everyday, twice a week, once a month. Whatever your cleaning style, lifestyle, parenting style is, your life is so much better when you clean the way you want.
Your life becomes more enjoyable when your productive space is clean. I clean my Teacher’s desk off at school every day. But during the day, it’s a hot mess. I am the only one who can find (sometimes) any thing on it. But I make sure that before I leave for the day, I can see the actual desk and that everything I need for the next day is visible.
At home, I clean once a week except for dishes. I’m an empty-nester , so everything pretty much stays in one place all week. I feel pride after I clean, even though I dread doing it. But I love the newness and fresh smells it brings.
Cleaning brings so much satisfaction to your mental and physical body. It helps you to see what can be accomplished and feel proud. It also is a form of cardio and weight lifting depending on what you are cleaning.
Take pride in whatever you are cleaning and know that if no one else sees it but you, you are a great warrior for attacking all those dust bunnies!
