Today I finally got around to tackling the kitchen, after leaving it to demise, whilst my Steemit debauchery continued.
I obviously washed up things as and when needed for cooking and eating, but that was the extent of my appearances in the kitchen, but now the twelve days of Christmas are over, it's back to face real life and getting things done and keeping on top of it.
Here is the shaming evidence of an unkempt kitchen:
Evidence of using every dish in the house...
Obvious lessons are when you are not the greatest fan of housework (which I'm working on, you'll see in a moment) is do not leave it until it takes about three hours of hard intensive labor to clear it all up.
Little and often is the key and daily housework is the discipline mission I have set myself to master and make a habit this January, to add to my daily Steemit posting that I have completed for over a month now and will continue to do so. One successful habit formed, now onto the next one.
And somehow we are already on day 6 of January! How did that happen? I need to get my skates on.
Over Christmas, I bought myself a self-hypnosis mp3 called the "Joy of Housework" and I listened to it today, whilst I cleaned the kitchen and to my surprise, it actually helped and even now a few hours later, I'm actually feeling quite positive about housework, so will definitely listen to that daily whilst doing my half hour (or more) of housework each day.
I have to admit I was very skeptical when I first listened. And cracked up at laughing at affirmations such as "its okay if your house is not perfect all the time" and "I really enjoy cleaning the toilet", but it was just my untidy soul protesting too much at the improvements I want to make in my life.
Then the subject changed from housework to things like about being special from the moment you were born and being quietly confident and a having a reason for living.
I had to check I was still I was listening to the right MP3 and I wondering why and what this had to do with housework and mentioned it on the Berserkers - (an elite daily self-improvement discord group) and got kindly reminded that it had everything to with housework, as you can't get stuff done when the house is in disarray, it is too distracting.
And why not improve your mind whilst doing the housework by listening to something useful and beneficial that makes you feel good about yourself and what you are doing.
This is what the kitchen looked like after...
And yes that is my January is about, adding more good habits to build on being the best version of me and there will always be something more than I can add to that.
