So I was in the shower this morning thinking...my head is such a chaotic mess, my house is a chaotic mess, my diet is a mess, my......you name it and it's in a state of chaos. This isn't like me. I'm the person who used to have all of her DVD's and CD's organized alphabetically. My clothes put away by color. My pantry was the epitome of perfection. I prided myself on the not only the cleanliness of my home but also the organization of it. Now if you were to ask where something was I probably wouldn't have a clue where to even begin looking, much less care that it's probably buried somewhere beneath the mountains of folded laundry waiting to be put away (I honestly don't have the room for all of our clothes) or underneath the stack of mail I dread going through.
And it hits me.....my home and my mind go hand in hand. I've discovered once I thoroughly clean and organize an area of my home, like the linen closet for example, I'm in a state of euphoria. Weird, I know...but that's me.
So this next week I will be working on taking a step towards reclaiming my true inner self by trying my darndest to get my house organized. It is so easy to not care about yourself when you can't even muster the energy to care about your surroundings. The hard part will be keeping each area clean while I move on to the next. I do have a toddler ya know! =)
I totally know what you mean about your home and your mind going hand in hand. I am the same way... When my house (especially my kitchen) is a mess, I freak out so much more easily. Its like a load on my shoulders. In turn, when I stress, I clean. Especially my kitchen. Lol. :S
