I started redecorating the house today. I started with the messiest room. The room I hardly ever use.
I don’t use it because I never really have people spending the night and if they do they can also sleep on the couch. So the room just became a storage place for all the stuff I should’ve thrown away months ago. At first I felt great. I emptied out the whole room, moving everything to the bedroom, living room or kitchen. Then I started moving the things that I needed to be in that room, back in. I felt great. One down, the rest of the rooms weren’t so full anyway so it would be done really quickly. But then I turned around. I kind of forgot that I still had to clean all of the junk out of the living room, bedroom and kitchen. All I could see were three big piles of… stuff. But then I took a closer look. I already knew where half of it had to go. Some things I could even throw away immediately. So with that out of the way, all that was left were two boxes with old stuff I had to go through and some clothes. It almost brought down my mood. I almost started to regret ever starting on this. But I didn’t let it keep me down. Instead, I decided to take a moment and sit behind my desk that I just cleared. It might have been the only clean room at that time, but it was something. The biggest thing I had to do was now done. So now I could focus on the smaller things. I’ve tried redecorating before. But I start in all the other rooms first because I’m avoiding this one and when I’m done with everything I just skip the last one because I don’t want to start over. If you’ve tried something multiple times but it doesn’t work, try using a different method. Start where you would normally end. It’s not the solution for everything but if it doesn’t work, try something else. Or be prepared to keep bumping into that same wall. If you can’t figure something out, look at it from a different perspective. It’s the only way. Doing the same thing over and over again will bring you the same result over and over again. I’m almost done. I just have to do some laundry and take out the trash in two (or three) trips. But then I’m done. If I would’ve started in the living room, I would’ve given up eventually and next week I would try to do all of it again, probably without success, again. Trying something new won’t ever hurt. It will only help. Please share your thoughts/experiences in the comments below. Or talk to me on social media. Or email me via the contact page. Have a good week. Don’t forget your #MyWeeklySpecial
