I am looking to make my life better and that’s what MonkModeMay is all about. I’m trying to make it the best month of my life. I’m doing it by committing to cutting out all of my negative behaviors from drinking alcohol, to PMO, to excess sugar, to staying up late, to smoking too much weed, to spending too much time on my phone.
This post is about keeping your environment clean.
Nobody likes a difficult day but sometimes emotionally tough days are unavoidable. However coming home to a messy place is avoidable. Having a clean place makes handling all the stresses of everyday life waaay easier. Now cleaning is definitely something I don't like doing all the time so I tend to put it off. Then I realized if everyday I focused time on cleaning I’d actually have less daily cleaning to do and more time overall… JACKPOT! From a psychological standpoint maintaining a clean environment does wonders. Weird but very true.
To become a really successful person you must make yourself make the necessary positive changes in your life. You must push yourself. I try to clean at a designated time everyday so that it becomes a habit.
Cleaning regularly also helps you let go of attachments actually making you much happier long term. If you’re always cleaning then you’re always examining things and gauging whether or not something is clutter or actually necessary. So, you invariably get more organized, focused, and develop a feeling of lightness and internal preparedness.
You already know if you transmute all your energy in any direction you’ll get much greater benefits than if you continue using your skills and abilities the way you've been using them. Don’t get me wrong, cleaning first thing in the morning everyday isn't something I like to do but the effort is definitely worth all the benefits you’ll get from doing it. Yes, the juice is worth the squeeze. It’s part of being the best person you can be. It’s getting out of your own way. If you don’t wake up and start making things happen life will just be the same thing you’ve always had and who wants that? So,let’s get, So Fresh and So Clean Clean!
