I've decided that 2014 will be year I get my life together...somewhat. I decided to start with the three areas of my place that are in utter disarray: my bathroom, my bedroom, and my kitchen. The boy stayed a little later than he original planned today, so I didn't get a huge start. I have managed to tackle my bathroom since he left.
I'll admit. It's been WAY too long since I've deep cleaned my bathroom. I scrubbed the shower, the toilet, the floors, the counter, and the mirrors. As I was going about my deep cleaning, it had me thinking about how this year I want to make more of an effort to keep this place tidy. Aside from just keeping a semi-clean home, I want to make an effort to be more intentional. The reason this place looks like it does is because I haven't made an intentional effort to make it better. I haven't been intentional about how I clean my apartment. I realized that just a small wipe down of the bathroom each week and then doing a deep cleaning once a month, would make a huge difference in how it looks. Surprisingly, it also doesn't take THAT long to make it look a little better. I started thinking about how just a little wipe down every once in a while can do wonders for how it looks.
Just like that, I had an epiphany. If a little wipe down can do wonders for how my apartment looks, it can do wonders for my whole life. So this year, I'm going to take time to wipe down my personal life every once in a while. It was a reminder that sometimes you have to take inventory of the actions that you take, the people in your life, the way you live your life, etc. and wipe down the things that don't fit with where you want to be. I'm going to make a point to be more intentional with how I live my life.
I think I'll start my actually getting dressed tomorrow, even though I don't have to. After all, a little wipe down does wonders, right?
