Day One: Baby Steps

Hopeful | Christmas Music


 
   th_Lovechinesesymbol.gif   The first step in Feng-Shui is to get rid of the clutter. This may take me a long time, because I usually spend my time cleaning one area and never have time to get to the really big jobs that need my attention.
 
Keep in mind that I have boxes that I haven't even gone through since I moved in here, and I have back injuries. I am not looking forward to going up and down the stairs to take things out of my apartment, including taking the trash down the stairs to the trash bin that this at the other end of the block.
 
I know that what I am about to do will not be completed in a day. I know that I need to be patient with myself and try not to feel hopeless or overwhelmed, and so, I will start with the following baby steps:
 
1. Put on some music with a good tempo, nothing aerobic.
2. Grab a ForceFlex trash bag and gather all of the items that are on the sitting areas of the living room. Set bag aside.
3. Stack all of the dirty dishes and set aside. Shine the sink, counter tops, stove, and outside of the refrigerator.
4. Add bleach to the inside of the toilet and let soak. Close the lid.
5. Grab a ForceFlex trash bag and gather all of the items on the bathroom counter. Set bag aside. Shine the sink, counter top and mirror.
6. Undress the bed and add fresh sheets and pillowcases. Dress the bed with comforter and shams.
7. Swish and wipe the toilet. Close the lid.
8. Grab a hammer and put up the new curtain rod in the bedroom.
9. Make a cup of tea. Light a candle and some incense. Put my feet up and enjoy the music.
10. Gather trash and take it out.
 
That seems like a lot to do in one day. Knowing me, I will not do them in the order as shown. I follow recipes exactly, but I do not know why I do not follow lists exactly. Must be some authoritative issue. LMAO
 
If I don't get everything done, that's o.k. There is always tomorrow. =.)
