Funny how my kitchen reflects my mental state. Yet at the same time, my kitchen can determine my mental state. When I am feeling good, I have no problem keeping things clean and tidy, which, in turn, makes me feel good. But when I am feeling down, I am overwhelmed by the smallest things which makes things like cleaning impossible, which just makes me feel even worse. I hate how that works. I need to become much more disciplined.
I hear you, oh - how I hear you. I was telling my husband the same thing the other day.
ReplyDeleteI actually find that when I'm feeling down cleaning lifts my spirits. I put on some worship music, set the kids up with something to distract them, & clean. It's like clearing the clutter around me clears my head.
ReplyDeletewow. I would go crazy if my kitchen ever EVER looked even near that cluttery. but this is the voice of a neat freak who has to have everything in order all the time.
ReplyDeleteoh I SO know what you mean! I feel exactly the same way. my kitchen is a great way to determine how I'm feeling that day!
