Hi everyone, i get overwhelmed and do nothing too. I feel keeping my house clean is something I am a perpetual failure at. However I've done a lot of thinking and developing over the years.
One of my new stratagies is that there is success is in praising yourself for the little accomplishments. talk to yourself just like you were coaching a little kid. tell yourself small steps to do and lots of praise for doing those little things.
Like today I only cleaned the hamster cages and did one load of laundry. I feel like a total failure again. But instead of beating myself up I am going to give myself praise for what I did get done. I feel it helps break this guilt trip we can get ourselves in and makes it easier to start cleaning the next time.
Sometimes when we change our perspective a little bit it allows us to see things we did not before. For instance just now a I was typing the above I realized I Infact did more than i originally thought. I went grocery shopping, fixed the fridge, got school supplies, and I picked up my much needed meds too. Lol so now I feel even better about my day :-)
Anyhow keep up the fight everyone :-)
