Clean as you Go
Most humans maintain semi-clean environments. The percentage of those who love cleaning is smaller than those who put it off until completely necessary. When you add in the fact that clean has so many different definitions, you realize that this is one of those funny quirks of being human. We have varying levels of acceptance of cleanliness. Kids are especially good to watch when they somehow get dirty. Some will get upset and need immediate assistance with a change of clothing and others just keep wiping their hands off on their shirts. To each his own.
Obviously Clean
If you want to see where the distinctions in your family exist in terms of cleanliness or even determine your own, clean one room. Super clean. When you have achieved making one very functional room a place of supreme tidiness, it provides many thoughts on the acceptance of conditions in the others. It is the Oz effect. The room in full color takes on a completely different appreciation. It may even be kept up to the standard longer to continue distinguishing it from the lackluster others.
Cleanup Practice
One pristine room can provide all the data you need to understand what you really want in life. It is the practice game. When a little corner of life gets put into order, the rest of life stands out. When the obstacles are removed from even one small part of our lives, it creates just enough incongruence to wonder about why the rest of life isn’t orderly. The actual reality of cleaning up what once was a mess becomes a catalyst just by virtue of its completion. Once something exists, we cannot deny it.
Spread the Cleanliness
When the effect of just making one drastic change is seen, it becomes quite clear that something can be accomplished. When the technicolor effect starts to spread, bit by bit life changes. By the time the whole place gets cleared, it is rare to go back to just accepting life in the margins. The gradual tactic is what makes it easier because it proves its own point. When you make a slight change that creates new order, the old order knows that it’s time is up. Start small. Start obvious. Remove the obstacles. Step back. Jump back in until it is completely gorgeous. Clean up life today.
What is the one room that would make you see your world differently if it was showroom shiny? What makes life sparkle for you? Could you live with an obstacle-free life?
