CLEAN YOUR ROOM!

Not because you want to, not because you have to. You clean your room cause you want to do at least one thing right. When everything fell out of place, out of your preference, at least, this one thing you can do right. 

I’m sitting at the coffee shop right now, having my first coffee of the day, in the afternoon. It’s been hard stepping out of bed in the morning for the past few days, but I don’t have to worry bout that, cause all the responsibilities will pull me up and force me to deal with them. 

None of my things is going as I wanted, and we all know that’s not a surprise in life. It’s just the perfectionist inside me throwing a tantrum, and what am I going to do bout this? I’m going to act like a mother being calm and staying still, waiting patiently for her kid to be over it. 

What do you do in this situation when nothing is going right? I thought to myself, “Just clean your room”. At least, I can keep one thing clean, one thing in order, one thing goes right as I wanted. 

And it did make me feel a bit better. I did not fail myself at this. I accomplished it. The floors looked clean, and my feet felt good walking on them. A few things had gone right, right? “You gotta treasure these tiny shiny things, otherwise no matter how much effort you make, you would never feel better” – a small voice popped out from a corner in my head.
