Lately I have been feeling sluggish and lazy even though I have been grinding to get all of my work done. I feel like I am doing enough to get by, but I’m not the best version of myself. I thought an easy habit that would make me have a greater sense of accomplishment in the day would be making my bed right when I wake up. I am not super unorganised, but my room could use a little work. I usually make it extremely clean and then it gets insanely messy and I have to dedicate so much time to fix it rather than just cleaning up as I go. Making my bed each morning has helped me get started in a more positive mood because even if the rest of the day sucks at least I did the one little thing I told myself I wanted to stay accountable for. It has also been nice unmaking it at night because it’s a clear indicator that the day is over and I feel more clean. It never really made sense to me when I was younger and my mom would make me do this if I was just going to undo it later because I thought it was a waste of time. However, now I see that it is about setting intentions. Cleaning also serves as a stress reliever for me and having a clean room gives me one less thing to worry about getting done. When it looks nice, it makes me feel more at home.
