Day 4 Clean a square inch of somewhere.. imperfectly

Well done! Well done for being here, you’re doing amazing!

Again, if you’d like to do the rest practice from Day 1, please do. It would be great if you could make this a daily action (ideally first thing in the morning) And you could repeat the not bringing anything in task too if you like. And if you do bring anything in, can you let something else go in its place?

Keep in mind slowly, kindly, gently and with ease and Less is more. It’s better if we commit to less, do what we set out to because the goal is small enough, and celebrate what we achieve. So give yourself permission to just do today’s task.

Well done for being here, you’re doing amazing!

Many of us struggle with indecision and perfectionism (as well as stuckness, freeze and overwhelm) many of us have trouble getting started. And many of us dislike housework. Though do you ever find once you get going it’s often easy to carry on?

So far we have been doing small goals. Today I’m going to ask you to clean a square inch of somewhere. Anywhere at all. Use a cloth or compostable wet wipes, or whatever. Any area and clean a square inch of it. You might find you do a foot, or the whole object or half the room. Imperfectly. Done is better than perfect. Progress, is progress <3 If you do more, Great! But the task is just a square inch. You’ve succeeded when you have done that.

And then celebrate – do a little dance around the kitchen, pat yourself on the back. Tell yourself well done, out loud.

The second part of the task is name 5 things to be grateful for.

The third part of the task is to pick up 5 things in the area from yesterday if it’s not finished – or anywhere else. And to bin, recycle, put away or donate.

🧹✨ Task 1 Clean a square inch of anywhere, and celebrate

🧹✨ Task 2 Name 5 gratitudes (out loud) even better, come post them in the whatsapp!

🧹✨ Task 3 Pick up 5 things from anywhere (and bin, recycle, or put away.


Come and share how you got on. You can report back in the whatsapp group. The community celebrating is really effective for gradually healing from perfectionism and learning how to be more functional as a messy musician. You can some and ask me questions tonight on the zoom call at 7:30pm, get coached, or come and celebrate each other.

 

Lots of love, Naomy
