    What I did as a ritual was cleaning my house on the 31st of December so that I started thanking for all that 2020 gave me and by cleaning everything with intention and purpose I made space to receive all that live has for me in 2021. I finished that day with taking a bath with camomile and lavender mixed with salt and I dressed myself all in white and clean clothes. It was magical that night and I started 2021 with peace of mind, present and full of gratitude.

    Every three months I shuffle all my furniture around, and clean every spot that was hard to access, and then put my whole creativity into finding a new arrangement for the furniture. 🛋🔃
    I don't have any heavy furniture, so it is really easy and fun, and it restarts the flow of fresh energy through my house. Especially if you ventilate well while doing so. ☯️🌬

      @@jemma50 I often motivate myself by by singing to the stuff I am rearranging, and remembering the times I was really grateful to have it. Or make it a game or a challenge with either racing against the clock, putting a garbage bin in the middle of the room to throw things in from a distance, by dancing or just being silly by sweeping like I am a witch or like I can't use certain limbs. Hahaha!
      This attitude also helped me to get eating when I was severely underweighted. I loved cooking, but didn't like eating. So I made cooking a challenge so that eating was more fun, too. I became a vegan by accident this way, and I love it! Strangely enough I feel a lot healthier, and I gained a healthy weight.
      I might switch the challenges at any time, though. I am kinda unpredictable, even for myself. Hahaha! 😂

    In my first year of marriage, I started a tradition that on New Year’s Eve I will do a deep cleaning of the house, that includes laundry, taking the trash out, dusting and so forth. so on New Year’s Day I start fresh. 25 years later and 3 Kids , they know the routine. I keep New Year’s Eve celebration simple so I don’t feel overwhelmed by the chore at hand. My family believe or not really enjoys this tradition. But I would have to share that doing a deep clean in one day it’s no too hard if you already keep a clean home. The key to a clean home is doing something every day and of course not a lot of stuff. ☺️ Clean home= peace.😃

If the top can’t be seen, use a covering of cloth like a an old pillowcase or sheet cut to size (you won’t see it) put your decorative on top. When time to clean, shake off the cloth outside and pop it in washer.

Now, I try to focus on one or two small projects every little while....a little goes a long way!

    This topic reminds me of my favourite book "the life-changing magic of tidying up" by marie kondo. I had bought this book in 2015 and sadly wasn't able to tidy up all in one go due to restrictions of time, space (to put the many stuff for sorting through disposal, donation or gifts), and my mother's sadness in seeing once useful items being thrown away.
    I don't regret buying that book as it helped me understand why I was so stressed when at home when I'm such a homebody. Our house now is a bit closer to my vision of being tidy. It was labour intensive (old house, so many stuff: 3 generations worth) but the progress has been rewarding. We had fights for sure, but it allowed us to heal by talking on why certain things were or are important, even if they don't serve the purpose they once did. But the most coveted benefit: peace of mind.
    Knowing where my stuff is and having a designated spot for them makes it stress free for me to locate them and easier for me to clean as the clutter has significantly lessened from when I first started and together continuing. I find it all the more important to have a tidy and clean home as I will be losing my regular employment due to site closure hastened by the pandemic. I hope to find work and continue working from home with a more or less same income to satisfy our needs.

    Another great video. Another point that I would like to make. Would be to say, that doing a good job in cleaning your home shows appreciation for the things that you have. And to a lot of the hard work that went into purchasing them. We need to all show appreciation for the things we have, because there are so many others in this world who don't have anything. The fact that most of us are about two to three paychecks away from living on the street. Should help to ground us into reality. Keep the great videos coming, and I look forward to all your content in 2021.

When I finally vac. them up they go into the bag and every time I vac it scents the house. Lavender is very antiseptic and anti mold. Loved this video ❤️

    Oh, I remember the days well. I no longer have a fireplace , but I do miss it. The cleaning is daily at home now , it gets messy and dirty quickly. I keep it up daily , so the job is easier. It's easier if you live in an apartment , rather than a house. It seems like there is so much more to do to keep up a house . It also depends on the seasons as well. I love your home , it's so cozy and peaceful. It was nice visiting you , hope to see your video with the sound on . My granddaughter is sleeping and I'm suppose to be asleep as well , but still up. It's the weekend , anyway. Nice chatting with you ! Many blessing to you in the coming year: D.
