First of all I think it\u2019s ok to give yourself compassion and let it go now and then. Trust that you will always fix it later, and that\u2019s fine. But when I really want to push through my own resistance, here\u2019s what helps me. 1- visualize your clean and tidy space and how good that will feel. 2- know that just getting started is the hard part. Tell yourself you\u2019ll do it for 5 minutes, and then you can stop. Odds are, once you start you\u2019ll feel fine continuing! 3- put on a favorite podcast, music, or a good tv show that doesn\u2019t need your full attention to keep your brain engaged and make it fun. 4- I tie things like tidiness to valuing myself and respecting myself. When I think about it this way \u2014 it\u2019s not a chore to take care of myself! \u2014 it\u2019s very motivating. Good luck!<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Henry S.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">This has been a struggle for pretty much my entire adult life. After working 8-9 hours I just want to be on my own time and do nothing that is in anyway responsible. With four kids at home, I\u2019m also tired. But one day I looked around and realized a) the state of my home wasn\u2019t relaxing, b) playing games on an iPad isn\u2019t relaxing it\u2019s procrastination, and c) I\u2019m going to be tired whether I clean or not. After I started keeping things tidy I found I was actually able to fully relax and enjoy time to myself because it wasn\u2019t just me avoiding things. <\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>William N.
