Clean Your House! Manifest Challenge Day 24

in #life7 years ago (edited)

With rescued baby animals and deliciously forgetful children running around, my house gets messy fast. Not so much dirty, but messy, with stuff and things ending up everywhere due to fast paced lives. Not to mention the early winter here in the Pacific Northwest!

Due to an obscenely abnormal amount of crazy during the month of October, my home cleaning activities slacked a bit.

Ok, ok, they slacked a lot.

So we had to spend three full days cleaning and organizing and getting ready for the unexpected freeze.

It was not pleasant. I won't lie. I abhor cleaning. It's such a waste of time, right? I mean, it's just going to get messy all over again! And almost immediately!

But, sigh, it's a necessary evil. So I couldn't come out to play with my fellow Steemitzens this weekend, cuz I had to clean my room.

We were finally finished yesterday afternoon. And I was sore and grumpy. But after putting away the cleaning supplies and pressing the start button on that last load of laundry, I looked around the house and felt...

Peace.

It felt good! Just being in a clean and neat environment felt tranquil and harmonious.

I hadn't realized it until after The Cleansing, but all that chaos had stagnated the energy in my house.

Energy needs to flow. Everything must flow or it builds up and backs up and creates a feeling that is less than serene. This happens when you dam a river and when you have a pile of junk covering the coffeetable.

I could not believe just how refreshingly calm and content I felt in my newly cleaned house! I stood in the living room, contemplating the vacuum lines on the carpet, and just breathed, feeling my sore shoulders breathe a sigh of relaxation.

Clean your house. Organize your environment. If you do not have kids- keep it that way! It will reward you with positive energy. Energy that will work in line to reward your visualization efforts.

Now excuse me while I go pick up the toys my boys left out... Sigh, it's neverending ;)

When getting to my father's place for the following week I had to hoover there, again (why you so lazy dad?), when the hallway was again, full of gravel and leaves, and I can't tolerate the feeling of small gravel in my feet when walking in the apartment.

But besides that I also cleaned up my mind. Wasn't in my intention to release this peace but your theme about cleaning came with such good timing that I changed my mind.

Do you feel that this Challenge has helped you declutter parts of your uncertainty?

It definitely has helped me some.

I am very happy to hear that :)

as i read this, i heard scratching noise... looking up just to see my 3 yr old drawing her art with cookie over the wall i painted just 4 days ago...

:D

yeah i know im evil who pulls things out of context

Omg that was perfect

I love our world ;)

Gotta keep smiling- it's the only way! lol

I read it that way too, but I know it's because I have those little monsters that love to explore, and create, and experiment, and make huge messes! Lol.

@arbitrarykitten you are like an Angel in my life reminding me that I need to clean my house.......

@arbitrarykitten,

Thanks for the nice post and very cute .gif's, amiga.

RE: Your Post

"The way you feel about cleaning house is akin to my feelongs about eating. No matter how many times you eat, you're only going to get hungry again, no? And besides, it's a waste of drinking time..."

Love and laughter to you and yours always.

Namaste,

JaiChai

that's always the way when kids are around. they give as joy by messing things around.

Yeah, once the kids got passed a certain age, we had them put their own toys away and when they forget, we let them know. Nowadays though, they know that it has to be Rosie approved. Rosie is the Queen of the House (my pink hippo). They do it for her! But they don't do it for me or for Frank! lol Rosie's got authority! (And don't you forget it, she says.)

As for me, and Frank, laundry and dishes are out downfall. It piles up. I took care of the dishwasher tonight and all that. But the clothes I folded the other day, we both still have not put them away. /facepalm I know!

Congratulations, @arbitrarykitten! You have been nominated to be one of our first SteemParents of the week by @solarsupermama!

Nice when you get help with the dirty jobs. Raccoon was a big help I see.

We have a rescue kitty who is a polydactyl with seven toes on each front paw- three being thumbs! She picks up little screws and bolts, and opens drawers and cabinets to pull out toys and treats for the other rescues! So far I have been unsucessful with teaching her how to actually put things back where they belong, tho...

That's funny. You should do a post on "all thumbs" with some close-ups.

Very helpful post dear.Upvoted & following.

Thank you hun :)
