    I avoid pain when I don't clean up, because I have hypermobility syndrome. However, I still want a clean house, and it's me who's likely to get it that way, just limited in my capabilities. Someone gave a good piece of advice once, they said, "Change your 'to do' list to a 'get to do' list". That small shift in attitude can make a big difference.

    This video is brilliant. It actually touched on behavior modification techniques (a science used in many mediums but most known fot its application in animal training). In order to create behavioral change, before anything else, you need to manage the subjects motivation. Positive motivation must be higher than negative motivation. This is a fact. And this video explores how to tip that balance

    @TheMagnificientMan Před 4 lety +3

    Well for my case, the answer for the why was pretty simple. I didn't have a strong reason to clean it even though I like the idea of having a clean house.
    Most things that I accomplished in my life didn't come from my own desire if I really think about it. So cleaning for the only purpose to satisfy my own sake ain't a good reason. Therefore the Last time I cleaned the floor was close to 6 months ago. I got used to it and I was okay with that. I know from past experiences that cleaning it wouldn't give me any satisfaction, because again, it's just for me...
    I might be a particular case because I always managed to get away with not having people to come home.
    My house isn't Messy, but it's dusty and dirty and I'm fine with that .
    But today, I had confirmation that someone will have to come home tomorrow. And now I naturally feel the need to clean everything.
    For me , that's the only way to make me keep up with the cleaning, it's having people around. But most activites are done outside for me so that's the dilemma I'm facing
    Ps : I have ADHD, and even though I would like to blame it on that, I don't think it is the major reason, not even close. I like to think that I just have other priorities and I can stay like that as long I'm not harming anyone other than myself

      @@LiveOnPurposeTV I'm concerned about the cost. And there's a ton of different treatments. Don't know which one is ideal. I did most of the throwing out today. Still gotta physically clean. And try to find a place for things. Plus, anxiety clearly. It's mostly a motivation issue. I don't really care about the stuff. I just need something to push me in that direction which I do not have. Living alone; and I have no one to keep me accountable. I've tried; the last time I cleaned. But, seems I gotta rely on myself. Which is probably the healthiest way. I needed to take a break. Cleaned for about 3-4 hours; Maybe. I don't remember. Any idea which is the fastest way that would take the least treatment time. To minimize cost. My anxiety usually stops me from calling people. And medically I never had much luck with normal western medicine. I have had some therapy in my 20s but nothing to tackle this exact issue. Be nice if my parents did something when I was a kid. Ug. With shitty insurance and making 2 much for assistance. I'm in that area where I make 2 much and 2 little.

    I suffer with diagnosed ptsd. I have depression and panic disorder. When my house gets messy, it depresses me even more. And my issue is, if I cant do it perfect and bring something to finish after starting it, I dont feel like putting the effort into doing it. It's a vicious cycle. And I dont have the energy a lot of the time because I cant sleep. Whenever I do fall asleep, its from complete exhaustion. And then if I wake after only a couple hours, I'm wide awake. I want to talk to someone for therapy, but with the virus I don't know what to do. Sorry for venting. Just needed to release some stress.

      Mrlistenandlearn, I was always taught that when something was missing to clean. It really works. Don't upend things to find something, put things in order and then you won't have to clean it up later. Cleaning is cyclical, things will get dirty and so we have to find ways to motivate ourselves to clean for those that it doesn't come naturally for.

I can't afford to pay somebody to clean the house. So then that means I am choosing to live in a messy house. That is depressing. When you don't have money or health, you don't get to make choices.

      We need to get the family together for a family counsel on how the FAMILY is going to deal with the house.

      It seems monotonous to do something over and over again, but that is a big part of life, Audrey Mai. As our children grow, they should be taking care of their things more and more. The general rule is children should do for themselves what they can do. This means we feed them when young, then they feed themselves. We clean up after them and then they clean their own room or put dishes in the dishwasher. I may add this one to the topic development list.
