Day 3: Fall in a Heap (On The Laundry, If Possible)

It is important to note that this 31 day schedule is meant to be flexible. Today is day 3, which schedule says means we fall in a heap. Unfortunately, I'm actually feeling pretty good this morning and have already accomplished quiet a bit before 9:00 AM- dishes are clean, laundry is in, even the table has been wiped clean. It's pretty epic.


That's life- good days come, and it's great when they do, so if today feels pretty good for you, feel free to skip ahead to day four and come back to day three when it works for you (or when your body says to). The point is, I wanted to build real-life scenarios into this cleaning schedule.

It's depressing to set a goal only to have your body's chronic situation dictate that you can't follow through. Don't get discouraged! Special people can work around their body, can listen to what is telling them (or shouting at them) and can accept putting a goal on hold for a day or ten. Don't let that rob you of victory. Start again where you left off and keep moving forward.

Every time you start again, you are proving that YOU are more than your situation. You are demonstrating that YOU are the one in control (ish).

So....on day 3 (whenever that is) give yourself a stamp of approval to do nothing but work through the life you have, maybe on the couch, the bed, or a heap of laundry. But if today happens to be one of those amazing days when you can do stuff, mop the floor and then call a friend to meet up for a fun activity that you never seem to be able to enjoy.

I think I might do some gardening.
