My body feels heavy and I can't move, I have no motivation, and I have a mountain of things to do... The 'just 5 minutes' tidying technique for times like that.
Hello, I'm Ellie😊
Even though I think, 'Okay, I'll do it!',
for some reason my body feels as heavy as lead, and before I know it, it's evening...
Don't you have days where you feel disappointed and down on yourself like that?
I used to have them often🥲
Just looking at a messy room makes me feel like my energy is being drained.
Even though there are things I want to do, I don't know where to start.
The more I think 'I have to do it perfectly,' the less I'm able to do anything.
If that sounds familiar,
it's not that you lack motivation,
it might just be that there is too much 'noise' in your field of vision,
causing your brain to freeze.✨
■ You don't have to do 'everything,' just 'one spot' is fine
A messy room is a messy mind.
But when your mind is tired, a 'deep clean' is impossible, right?
I'll share the 'environment tidying technique' with the lowest barrier to entry that I use when I absolutely cannot move.
It is
'creating a 1-meter radius sanctuary'🍀
■ Overwrite your field of vision with 'things you love'
The method is a very small step.
Throw away the 'trash' and 'unnecessary items' around where you are currently sitting.
Create a space with nothing on it, just in one corner of your desk.
Place your favorite knick-knacks, aroma, or favorite drink there.
It's just this much, but
once a 'tidy spot' is created in your field of vision,
your brain's switch will mysteriously
switch from 'sleep mode' to 'self mode'🌿
■ Time that had stopped begins to move again
You don't have to make it perfectly clean🎵
First, justmake your field of vision 'a little more comfortable'😊
That small change will
gently push you forward when you've been stuck.
May you spend tomorrow in a pleasant environment
at your own comfortable pace✨
