Re: Mamas that are "Messies" Support Thread
It helps me to reframe "chores" as my "happy list" - focusing on how happy, free, light and focused I feel when at least one area of my home is decluttered and clean. I feel super good about that! I try to transfer that final feeling into how I feel as I work toward something I really want. Chores that were heavy burdens are instead things I do to work toward enjoyment of my home. I'm not a cleanie at all (cleanies in my life are literally OCD and are constantly bleaching their baseboards), but working on that mindset of "this is hard, but I love working toward an enjoyable home space. I want the enjoyable home space more than I want to browse the internet for another hour" has really helped me in my journey toward a manageable household (still definitely not there yet!).
