Yayyyy! I really really needed to hear your words of wisdom because there’s been a dip here too! Upon watching your Last video I cleaned out two cupboards and organized them, and threw away so much, and did the same for our double utensils drawer! It was a dream to look at these parts of our kitchen this week after my work. I reluctantly threw away “extra’s” like you said and I’m gearing up to do my kids rooms and donate massive amounts to less fortunate kids who don’t have many toys! I HAVE to break free from saving SO many baby clothes of each kids’! With your extra inspiration! All- watch Laura’s videos over and over, they are life changing! You most certainly were called from God to do this work for many at home suffering in clutter and stagnant times during depression where we all don’t have energy to do so! You are all worth it, and you are amazing! Have a great day!☀️
Kathryn you are such a beautiful person and soul and I appreciate you so much! I am so proud of you for all that you have accomplished in your home recently. I know it's not easy to actually do it but it does feel amazing when it is done! Amazing progress! Keep going! I will return with more Messy to Minimal the week after the fourth of July! Thanks again for all of your love and support my friend! xo Stay Mighty and God bless! Love you! 💪🏻🙏🏼🦋🤍
As a Vietnam veteran diagnosed with PTSD, anxiety and depression, I found it nearly impossible to maintain a clean home after the passing of my wife. Finding these instructional and encouraging videos have given me hope that not all is lost. Thank you!
Bob, meu nome é Marly e sou do Brasil, quero te dizer que no mundo em que vivemos hoje nem precisa ser um veterano de guerra para ter ansiedade ou mesmo depressão, mas te digo que é possível se libertar destes males, te digo com certeza e até por expêriencia própria, podemos trabalhar nossa mente de uma forma positiva.Te desejo tudo de bom e dias bem melhores,sinto pela sua espôsa.✌🦋🙂🧘♀️🙏💐
Mom of four here - thank you for showing an actual, lived-in house. I swear 99% of these motivation videos on here show a spotless house from the get-go.
Your channel is amazing! Great motivator. I suffer from slight depression. If my fiancé didn’t help me get through it would be definitely hard for me! He helps me clean and I like to organize and sanitize. Big help. Everyone reading this have a blessed and glorious day. I know I’m late. Binge watching your channel at work
It's not you. It's our mental illness that causes the mess! You are not alone! Stay Mighty! Try to take that first step and push through it! You will feel good if you clean one small mess today! Progress over Perfection! xo Stay Mighty!
I understand, I'm gearing up to take control back of my own stuff. I've been guilt-tripping and shaming myself and it's only overwhelmed me that much more. I think we really need to allow ourselves some self compassion. I heard someone say once "it's not mess, it's sadness" and that is so spot on, for me it's the grief (of losing my Mom) I don't show when I'm outside the house. I'm slowly learning to show myself kindness and do little things here and there to make it better, some days I'll spend 20 mins decluttering and cleaning, other days I'll spend 3 hours, but every bit of progress (even tiny) is a victory and makes me feel lighter knowing it's one less thing to do. People who judge do not know nor understand depression/anxiety. No matter how ashamed it can make you feel, just remember you are doing the best you can and it's ok if your best is just getting out of bed and taking a shower that day ❤️
You are not alone. If you've ever heard of FlyLady, this girl does a modified version of that, and she's great. It may be helpful for you, to help establish routines: ruclips.net/user/TheSecretSlobvideos
It’s hard to find the will to clean a house when you feel like you have no hope. I totally get it. Thank you for making this point. Makes total sense. It’s hard to find the will to do a lot of things when you have no hope. Sometimes sleeping is all you want to do. Even showering is a chore.
Hello Roxanne! Thank you for being here! I think the fact that you are here speaks volumes of how much hope you still have in you! Just take that first step into the shower and start there! You are not alone and if I can do this here you can do it! Stay Mighty! Praying for you! xo
This is MINISTRY! God bless you for being so open and courageous. I've been hiding in shame, climbing up out of this pit just to slide back down repeatedly for years. Your work is what I needed. Your honesty, your soothing voice, your methodology and song choice are like a prescription for me. God bless you.
@@MightyMama hi and congrats on great channel :) I would like to suggest getting a dish rack, helps dishes dry in no time and different compartments make the job easier, especially for cutlery x
Yes! I experience this same thing! I actually did a video on Perfectionism Procrastination. Most people were shock to learn of this. Everyone tends to think Perfectionist have orderly homes but it can be the complete opposite because it back fires. The detriments of Perfectionism. Check out that other video here: ruclips.net/video/QPIxshIRveQ/видео.html Thanks for being here! Hope it helps! 💪🏻🙏🏼🦋🤍
I'm like this too. One bit of advice I heard and am trying to follow is this and this is helping me so much! Give yourself permission to do things badly or not completely all the time. Because doing it "badly" is much better than not doing anything at all! What I mean is if you wait for the perfect time and the perfect amount of time, you're in the best mood, you feel great, you have all the "right" tools... etc it's not ever going to happen, it stops you, it is paralyzing!! Give yourself permission to work on something for 10 minutes or 20 minutes or even 5 minutes if that's the time you have and you don't have to do whatever it is perfectly! I've been doing this and I've made lots of progress. I'm not well physically, I'm mentally and emotionally exhausted and I am a procrastinater and a perfectionist. But I've decided that I am going to get the things done I need to NOW. So I'm just trying my best to work on things every day and being consistent. I will get there. I'm still interested in what helps others, that's why I'm here. I thought I would share this so I hope it helps someone else like it is helping me.
Thank you for showing the real mess because when my house gets messy I feel bad and it at times makes me feel worse. It is just nice to see that others allow their houses to go at times as well.
Oh yes girl! This is real life mess here! lol! It's perfectly normal! I hope you were able to clean it all up with me today! Stay Mighty! I am always here for you! God bless! 💪🏻🦋🙏🏼🤍
Thank you for sharing your struggles! Glad to know that we are not alone when it comes to depression/anxiety and mess. It can be so hard to find the smallest drop of energy or motivation to clean and the guilt and stress of not cleaning just makes it worst.
Hi Kimberly! Thank you so much for being here! I xompletely understand and that is why I really want to try an help by bringing these videos and at least offering a space for all of us alike to share their hesrts and speak about their mess and stuggle. We no longer have to hide our struggle and we are not alone!♡ Stay Mightty!💪🦋🙏🤎
Ty for putting your life out here for others... It made me feel so good knowing that I'm not alone!! I have the same issues ..same struggles so ty for your words of wisdom ..God bless you.
I'm so happy to find this video this morning. I'm am completely overwhelmed with depression this today. It is the third anniversary of my husband's death . It doesn't get easier. I just want to stay in bed all day. I have so much cleaning I need to do. I haven't showered in days and I don't care. I hope this video will help motivate me a little.
Hi Parker! I am so sorry for your loss. Losing our people just never gets easier but having experience with death at an esrly age has taught me that we are stro ger then we know and it is up to ourselves to keep going and living our life like our loved ones would want us too. Think of how your husband would feel if he knew you were not wanting to live life because of him. He is probably screaming down to you rn saying get up Parker! Take a shower and clean our home!! ♡🤣 This is what I think of when I am sad about my loved ones who pass on. We must live on and honor their memory by living a functiional life that they were not able to. We are so fortunate to still be here and while I dont know the loss of a husband I do know the pain of losing soneone very close to me and it forever changes things and it will always hurt. Still, we must press on and try our very best to hold onto the small sliver of happiness and let it be oir guide each day to keep moving and growing. Parker I am so sorry for your loss and pain. I want you to know that you are worthy of a happy life and you deserve to keep thriving in this life even without your husband. If you have children you can focus more time on their life to help distract you from the pain and keep you motivated so you are not falling deeper into depression. You must pull yourself out now before things get worst. You can do this! You are strong. God will see you through this challenge in life as he has all others. I will pray for you everyday with my morning devotional. Please know you have what it takes right inside of you to move forward and be happy again. You have this beautiful life to liv and your husband would want you to keep moving and live happy. Stay Mighty & God bless.💪🙏🤎🦋
@@malwinafidyk101 I did have grief therapy for the first year which helped a lot. I’m trying to find something to keep me focused and doing something just for me.
My father just died two weeks ago and I’m having such a hard time getting out of bed cleaning the house. Going through his clothing and his stuff is debilitating. And on top of that trying to keep the house clean and cooking for a husband is mine blowing. When all I wanna do is go back to bed and cry because I have a big hole in my heart for my dad. I find this video very uplifting knowing that I’m not alone. Thank you for this video. I think living with depression and anxiety is so debilitating that people don’t understand how hard we have it. One day we’re good and then the next couple days we’re in bed and we’re not good and the house falls apart. It’s so frustrating. And then add a death in between that it’s so hard. Thank you for your video I’m going to try to tackle the downstairs after I Watch your video❤️🌻🙏
I am so sorry for your loss, I have lost both my parents. When I lost my mom I had just had a job transfer and it was one thing after another. I remember the most piles and piles of mail, actually had to put them in bags. Something so small is so big. I took it minute by minute hour by hour and now day by day. I already suffer from PTSD and anxiety it's so hard. You are not alone.
Thank your for your kind words on the loss of my Father.. I suffer from bipolar, anxiety, major depression.And so much more. Your videos are very helpfully… have a good day….. ❤️🌻🙏
I totally get how you said you’re an organized hoarder. I think when I realized I was one too, I went on a throw-away rampage. It. Felt. So. Good. I gave away about 10 hefty bags of clothes, the closet looked like paradise. And you know what….the garage is next 😳and I can’t freaken wait, I can just taste the endorphins.
I have been watching your videos while I clean and I am so glad I found your channel. I have been struggling with anxiety, depression and OCD and lately it has gotten really bad. It’s so refreshing to find someone so relatable walking this path too. God bless you, I pray you find healing and that even if you don’t, you’ll walk through the valley with courage, knowing that God has you in His hand and he causes all things to happen for your good.
Why do I feel like you're talking directly to me 🤔 this is very helpful, my anxiety has gone down since the start of the video. Im going to re-watch and clean.
Hey Angelina! Thank you for being here! Girl! I feel you! The struggle is real! Why!! Why!! Does this have to be so dang hard!! Ahhhh! We are not alone! Now lets slay this house!🤣🤦♀️ Always here for you! Stay Mighty! I love to here your progress in hour cleaning. Check back and let me know what you got done!♡
You had me from the start! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHARING your struggles with us! I, too, suffer from anxiety and depression, along with ADD and PTSD, but, my kiddos are grown and out in their own, so it’s just hubby and me! I feel so much better after watching this, and it helped me to clean in my kitchen for awhile ❤️❤️❤️
You helped me so much today 😭 it’s 8pm and I was desperate for some motivation and inspiration. I subscribed 10 mins into this video. Thank you for putting yourself out there! You are helping this mama. 💛 Praying for you and your energy and overall well being!
New subbie here! I ran into your video, and immediately tears started rolling down because i've been struggling with anexity and depression. I am a perfectionist and ocd clean freak. So when i fell into my depression, I felt like i lost myself. Watching you reminded me of who i am. Thank you for that! Now i feel motivated enough to get moving.
Hi Michele!! Thank you for being here! Welcome to the journey to take control of the mess! I know exactly how you feel I have been exactly where you are and that is the reason I started this journey here. Please be sure to go back and watch this Day 1 video of the journey: ruclips.net/video/BasRjAIve44/видео.html This video started it all and I really believe it will help you even more! You can do this Michele! What you are experiencing is Perfectionism Procrastination which in turn causes depression. Here is a video for you on that: ruclips.net/video/QPIxshIRveQ/видео.html I hope you have subscribed to join the journey! You can take control of the mess Michele and we are all here to support you through the process! Sending lots of good vibes and prayers your way! Stay Mighty and God bless! 💪🏻🦋🙏🏼🤍
Thank you for posting these videos! I’m a newer subscriber and it’s been so nice watching someone who gets it. Anxiety can be so isolating, even with having great friends and family around. And I’ve found that people can only empathize so much in regards to other people’s mental illnesses. Some people just want to know when you’ll “get better.” Or others may not understand why you can’t get out of bed or shower or even stomach solid foods. So thank you for shining light on this!
I love your comment! Just hearing that other people can’t get out of bed some days, is so comforting. My hubby took his life 4 years ago (waiting for a heart transplant), and my area is still locked down with COVID. When I feel overwhelmed by housework and lawnwork, I just shut down because I don’t know where to start.
@@nancyball7466 I’m so sorry for your loss and the added hardship that COVID has brought on. I’m hoping that one day soon things will start to look a little brighter for you!
Thank you so much for sharing this video. I needed this bc you understand what I many like us are going through. I have MS and depression and anxiety and low energy levels go handed. It's really hard to keep a clean house let alone everything together when you feel like crap. So it's nice to have someone else who understands.
I so related to this. Sometimes no matter what, I have no energy or motivation to do anything. Its strange how it can just hit out of nowhere even after being on a good roll. Thanks I'm trying
Hi Jennifer! Yes girl! The struggle is real and it sucks! At least we can think of eachother when we are down and know we are not alone. Just think of me telling you to get your butt up now and clean something! You will feel so much better!🤣😄 Hope that helps on those low days! I have been trying to remember "cleaning one small mess a day keeps the stress mess away! Thank you for being here! Stay Mighty!🙏💪🤎🦋
What a wonderful, lovely young wife & mother! You are so kind to be sharing your personal experience with others. May God bless your family and home now & forever.💕
Thank you so much! I watched your video, then turned it off and did a load of dishes. Watched your video again and did another load of dishes. Watched your video for a little time again and did some other things around the house. This is really helping me. Thank you so much!
I love how real you are! Dont ever be embarrassed of sharing your messy lives some are messier then others! I am I was a hording show I had so much loss in my life from rape to losing my 18 yr old son to suicide and my brother being murdered I stopped living! Stopped caring and stoped cleaning I wanted to not be here anymore! Then one day I was sitting on a bench and a old lady came up to me and prayed for me I looked around didn't see anyone! I was going to go into the river to end my pain! God had other plans I felt this peace swoop over me and I felt better decided to go home and try I managed after 6 months to get my life back on track ! I cleaned decluttered moved toxic people out even family and lost over 80 lbs became healthy mentally physically and emotionally 🙏 you are an inspiration to others thank you 💕 keep going others need you! 🙏❤️ God bless you love from Canada ❤️ now work with homeless people and realized this was gods plan 🙏 your helping others! Thanks
My mind was blown watching you use the dishwasher silverware thingy! Game changer! this is another reason I love watching other women clean I learn soo many things.
Not enough people talking about this thank you! Thank you for showing your real kitchen and mess and just being real it helps so much to know I am not alone.
Thank you for this! I've watched other videos in this series but this one really did the trick. I spent all night with chest pains from my anxiety, almost no sleep, so in the morning I just got up and decided to clean my house (that looked similar to yours). The mess was cripling and overwhelming me. I ended up doing 3 loads of laundry, collected and sorted allll the laundry, tidied up all over the house and cleaned all the surfaces and floors!! This was one my best cleaning mornings, thanks to you 💕💕
I am so encouraged and blessed with your willingness to be vulnerable and honest about a topic that needs support. You are a blessing from God. Thank you
Relief! I feel relief that there is another woman who gets me! I am alone as my friends that are not fighting anxiety and depression and panic attacks. Just to know that there is someone who is speaking so freely and showing life as it is ...... the relief and not feeling alone watching this is a gift. Thank you
Thank you mama I needed this motivation I have been depressed for weeks and my house is a mess! I am SO glad I found someone I can really relate too 🥰💜
Thank you for this video. I watch these perfect houses on TV and tik tok ect and feel even worse. As a single mom fighting anxiety and depression it's very hard and I'm so glad I found this video.
Great job. Sometimes cleaning up like this is what lifts the depression. It’s like a big weight is lifted off of your shoulders. I love your kitchen. So practical the way it is laid out. The U shape makes the best workspace, with everything just a few steps a part.
Thank you for your honesty. My Son suffers with anxiety and depression. I only began watching your declutter videos this week. Now I can say you have inspired me in more ways than one. I am great at storing things, but it's time to let go of a lot of things. As you de-cluttered your Daughter's room, that was an eye opener moment for me. I will keep watching. You are in my prayers. God bless you and your Family!
🤎 Hi and thank you for being here! I am happy that my video helped bring you some clarity and motivation. Decluttering can be emotional and exhausting but it is like a weight lifted once it is gone. I have many more of my Messy to Minimal coming this week. Stay tuned and Stay Mighty!💪🙏
I’ve started my clean house journey because of you! So glad you came up on my feed! Thought I was the only one who had a dirty house due to depression and now the mess is inducing the anxiety - not the only one!!! Thank you for your wisdom!
You absolutely DO serve a purpose for me! I listen to your thoughts and feelings and find a kindred spirit near to me as much of this goes through my head and my life... I know you help many and probably some you do not even know about. What a generous soul you are and thank you.
My morning motivation! I sit and have my coffee, watch one of your videos, then get going on my housekeeping. I really need that motivation. Thank you Mighty Mama.
Just letting you know I've been watching all of your videos coming out and I'm super proud of you for staying with this process. When I saw that your stove was cleaned before you even said that you had been keeping up with it I was already like YES go girl and you're doing so good!!
Thank you for listening/obeying and sharing this. My heart feels so much better now. Just knowing that others are struggling too makes a big difference. Thank you
I just found your channel! Thank you for speaking out about Anxiety and depression. I suffer with anxiety and it drains you physically and mentally. I have found out the more I move the better I feel. Some days are harder than others. When you know something needs to be done but you just don’t have the energy. I keep my house clean but some days I need that special motivation. Thank you for listening to God When it comes to your channel. I just subscribed!! God Bless you!
@ Mighty Mama I feel so grateful to have found your channel. It is truly a blessing from the Lord and exactly what I need in my life at this time. Your channel is so much different than others I've come across, as good as many of those channels are, your channel is exactly what I need right now. Thank you for putting in the work of making the videos and ALL the work of editing and uploading when time and other real life obligations are challenging. I hope you keep up with your channel and I just want you to know what a blessing you have been in my life at a time when I needed it most. Thank you so very much!!
Hello and wow! I am so grateful for your kind message and for you taking the time to be here and trust in me for the help you need at this time. I am happy to do Gods work and be here for others who share in my struggle as well. It makes all the difference knowing we are not alone. I hope my videos will continue to motivate you and help you feel less alone. God bless you! Stay Mighty! I am always here.🤎
This is such a helpful series. You’re doing an amazing job juggling all these responsibilities while dealing with anxiety and depression. Your family is lucky to have you 🌷💜
I agree, it isn’t always easy , particularly in the evening. If I clean as I go while making dinner then after dinner cleanup isn’t so daunting. It’s less depressing to wake up to a kitchen that’s sorted out. The other habit I got into was making my bed when I wake up. There’s something calming about getting into a made bed at night, especially if it’s been a bad day. Now if I can only figure out what to do with the rest of the house.
You're such a blessing. Just seeing this and something actually relatable and not manicured or pretentious was super encouraging and inspiring. Yes anxiety is incredibly draining. It's like a fight just to get up off the couch and seeing the mess it evokes more anxiety due to the overwhelm. Knowing we're not alone in the struggle is a motivator in itself, to know somebody else is living through the same thing and we're not alone. Thank you :)
I needed this video. I needed to see that I'm not the only one. The words you were saying we're exactly how I feel. I'm not a Mom and I never plan to be and my depression is a big part of why I've made that decision for myself. Thank you so much for this video! 😭❤️
Girl! I was on RUclips trying to find motivation and literally your video did it for me. I thank you for being so transparent. You did amazing and so glad I found your channel. Anxiety and depression suck!
I would hire you to clean, you're amazing at it! Why is "woman's work" never valued highly? Seems to me, people take clean for granted, it's a huge never ending job and usually thankless. 🤷♀️
Because "woman's work" keeps everyone else healthy enough to complain about it lol. I came across something in a fiction book years ago that mentioned sewing and how without women doing it, the world of men would be quite naked lol. As for kitchen work, everyone else would be hungrier and sicker if it wasn't done. That makes a lot of people who don't do it uncomfortable, so they complain instead. It's a psychological thing, I think. Sweet lemons, sour grapes? I'm probably wrong on that. Edit: tossed a few more thoughts in.
Its very brave of you talk freely of depression. Cleaning helps me too. I feel so much better when I see clean rooms and I have done something for myself and my family.
Hey there! You got this! You can do it! No more procrastinating! Just start now with one small mess and see where it takes you. Then start again tomorrow and the next day and so on! That is all we can do! Day by day! If I can do this you can do this! I hope you have subscribed and joined the journey here to take control of the mess in our homes! We can live clean, organized and happy! Stay Mighty and God bless! 💪🏻🙏🏼🤎🦋
I watched this RUclips video where the creator talked about the 5 minute tidy. I’ve been using that on my downstairs and so far it has helped me SO much! I struggle so bad with mess and like you said once it gets to a certain point you don’t even want to start, then I spend my day off cleaning all day and don’t get to relax. Thank you for your honesty and letting us know we are not alone!
This is the first of your videos I’ve watched, and I’m so glad I found this! I’ve really been struggling, and it’s so frustrating to not only me but my husband too
I just found this video and your words of encouragement are so nice to hear. I’m currently pregnant(having a horrible time), have a toddler, currently dealing with a severe stunt of depression and anxiety. I also have other health issues as well as pretty severe anemia. It’s been so hard trying to get my house clean and maintained. I always get close but never finish. It’s so nice to hear that I’m not alone with this! My family is so judgmental and don’t understand how it takes so much energy just to get out of bed, let alone keep up with my toddler and my house.
Hello my friend! You are definitely not alone and I know it can be very discouraging and depressing when the rest of the families are doing it all and functioning at their full potential while you just feel like your drowning under the mess and completely burned out at the same time. This can keep you feeling stuck! I will tell you I had anemia in pregnancy and I had zero energy because of it. Please make sure you are taking iron supplements. It is crucial for you restore those iron levels as that will definitely effect your energy and productivity in general. If you are having stomach issues with iron then I highly recommend Andrew Lessman Iron capsules. They are pure and have ZERO side effects. No constipation or upset stomach. I took those my entire pregnancy and it was a night and day difference. Please try them and be consistent in taking them. Give it a week and I promise you will feel that natural energy resurface and be able to be more productive both mentally and physically. Anemia can effect all of this drastically. I am here for you if you need the encouragement and support! I just posted a NEW VIDEO today so I hope that will help you to get started cleaning one small mess today! Please take care! Stay Mighty Mama! It will get better! xo 🤍🦋💪🏻
God Bless you! Love your videos, thanks for sharing everything, I know it was not easy! Thanks for mentioning that your calling of making videos came from the almighty! Thank God everyday, he does not abandon! Keep up the great work & inspiring words 🥰🙏🏽🙏🏽🤗
After watching your videos, I am able to clean "one thing at a time" and get it done. I used to get overwhelmed with a list of things I needed to do and often did nothing except watch TV or read a book. This works, I set a timer and work for 15-30 minutes. Amazing what I can accomplish in that time. Thank you.
I just want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart. I have 3 kids, (8,6 &2) my husband works away all week and we homeschool. I am more of a "type a" person by nature and have been in a slump for a long time. Been trying to declutter but I get so discouraged trying to do it all on my own. I don't have a "village" to help with the children. Thank you so much for your encouragement. My house is a wreck, I've been sick which makes it worse. You have made a big difference in my day Tonight. Keep on keeping on. ❤️
You got this Mama! You are not slone! I am here in the trenches of Motherhood with you as well as taking control of our home! Stay Mighty! I am always here for you. 💪🤎🙏🦋
Doing dishes every day and also racing a 5 minute timer once a day to just pick up the house can also be very powerful. See videos and books by Dana K. White for her "container concept" which is a really simple way to declutter without pulling everything out of a space and making a bigger mess. I think that making doing the dishes daily as non-negotiable helped me stay out of the deep valleys of depression. It was something that made things better, and at the time that was enough. God bless you!
Hi Gayle! Yes you are right about everything. I have mentioned this in this video that if only I can fight through the depression on the days when there are only a few dishes in the sink instead of putting it off until it's an overwhelming mess like today! I am working on this. I typically do this everyday but then that energy dip happens out of the blue. Depression has a way of messing up one's life. Literally! And thank you for that recommendation. I will check it out soon. I would love to declutter without making a mess. Thanks so much for being here! Stay Mighty!💪🏻🙏🏼🦋🤍
I have finally gotten to the point where I do dishes most days. Doing a major kitchen to clutter was key. We start to run out of bowls or plates at a certain point and that triggers me to do the dishes. We probably could only go two days without having to wash bowls and plates. I also do all her dishes by hand and have a small dish strainer so it kind of makes me want to do them every day because I want them to fit in the dish strainer. I’ve never had a dishwasher as an adult but I imagine it would almost be like a place to hide things. Handwashing has really helped the dishes not pile up so big.
It‘s my last routine at the day to check the kitchen. It takes so much of my energy and let me think about to walk right back to my bed when i look at a dirty kitchen in the morning. Honestly my dishwasher is my livesaver.
Being a young mom of 3 toddlers with a full-time job and studying part-time, life feels overwhelming and I find myself crying a lot and just feel sad ALL the time. I recently found your channel and I'm binge-watching all of your videos and I can't help but cry almost every time I watch your content because of the comfort I find when watching and listening to you speak. To know that I'm not alone and I've tried to explain to my family how I feel and no one understands which makes me feel so lonely and isolated. So I def. feel understood and not alone when I watch your videos. hope that makes sense lol
That’s awesome that your going to school part time it will be worth it in the long run when you can provide even more for your little ones. It must be hard at times, having toddlers is a handful and you have three! I’m sure your doing your best don’t be so hard on yourself mama. For everytime you cry tell yourself one thing you are grateful for! I hope that helps stay positive mama
I found this Video while I was feeling very overwhelmed and unmotivated. I appreciate this whole heartedly!!!Cause it’s real life. I’m a mom of 4. So the mess grows quickly….If you can do it then I can too!!! Thank you thank you 🙏
I have really been struggling the last two weeks but today I found your channel! Soooo happy to say I've been motivated! The house isn't done yet but we'll on it's way. Thank you my new friend 😘
Thank you for being so open and honest. It can be so hard sometimes. I always have stuff just random stuff on the benches and what I found is having a dump container on the bench and a container for the dirty dishes so if I need to wash something quickly I just pull the container of dishes out.
My lack of cleaning is due to a physical disability, which I hope is temporary…going on 2 years being unable to clean my own house. THAT depresses me 😳😭
This is a complete game changer!!! Cleaning “with someone” or the feeling of that has made this so much easier. I ALWAYS get distracted and get absolutely nothing done- anxiety, depression, ADHD here- this is THE most I’ve gotten done in months watching these videos!! Thank you so much!
I'm a working/stay at home mom of 7 about to be 8 and I can relate to this SO MUCH! I'm home during the day and I work at nights an let me tell ya; the stress; anxiety and depression is so real! I deal with all of it along with PTSD and it's a daily struggle to wanna get up and clean. I just feel drained and tired and everything just comes off so overwhelming! Even looking at the mess is stressful. I'm so glad I came across your channel this morning ❤️ I've wanted to start a RUclips channel for the same inspirational reasons but again; it's just overwhelming to think about so again; I'm so happy I came across yours! Youre amazing and can do anything you set your mind too! Never forget it 😘
Being a guy, I just need to say listening to the video means more than I expected and I thank you for stepping up and facing your life issues with us all.
Thank you for your vulneralbility and sincerity. I am happy my videos help. I will be making more so I hope you will subsctibe and stick around for more real life cleaning motivation and more!🤍
New subscriber here. I finally found a motivational “clean with me” type channel where the host/hostess actually understands where some of us are coming from. Love it! Wonderful video and motivation! Your “before” is so much like my “normal”, lol! My only suggestion is for your video production. Because you have such a soft pleasant voice over, you might want to turn your music segments down a bit. It might just be my TV that does it, but I adjust the sound for when you talk, and then when the music comes in, I need to turn it down quite a bit. Maybe some of your regulars can let me know if it’s just my TV’s audio that causes this.
Hello! And thank you so much for being here. Ya know I totally agree with you. I never noticed this until I play my video on my tv after reading your comment. I will definitely change that. It is completely different from my pbone to my tv. Its also totally different when editing so I will try my best to make it mor balanced. Thank you for your honest feedback. I appreciate it and welcome to fhe journey! So happy to have you here! Stay Mighty!♡
I’ve noticed on a lot of videos where it switches from talking to music a lot the music tends to be a lot louder when on the tv, however it’s even sounding while on my phone which is really odd. I don’t understand why it does that
@@LK-ir2pg - Yes, in fact I noticed this more often on a lot of the short movie channels here on RUclips, like DUST sci-fi and Omeletto, but not as much on other regular channels. I’m guessing that phones handle sound layers differently and just “flatten” them out (for lack of a better word). The only easy remedy I’ve found so far is to use my phone as the speaker. My TV is on Roku, and iPhone has a Roku Remote Control app. On that remote control is a button that lets you quickly transfer the sound from your TV to the phone. So when I find myself watching one of those sound-challenged programs or movies, I use my phone remote. My phone usually sets near me anyway so it works well for this.
@@MightyMama - I found a solution on my remote control app that works to level it all out and I just carry it with me. It’s not ideal, because it sort of flattens out the rich tones of your music, but if I’m cleaning too, it keeps me from having to stop and run to the volume controls, lol.
Thank you so much for sharing this and for talking about your experience with anxiety and depression. I felt like you were talking directly to me and it was so nice to finally feel like I had someone who completely understands what this feels like. Thank you!
Thank you for posting this video, sometimes it feels like i am the only one that struggles to keep house while i am dealing with depression but its good to see that other mamas are willing to share real life and real struggles and it makes me feels less lonely on my struggle
Thank you so much for sharing this. I’ve struggled with depression and anxiety for years- my house can get embarrassingly messy, and I physically cannot make myself clean it. I get so very overwhelmed and don’t even know where to start. It’s so helpful and encouraging know that others deal with the same thing.
So glad to see you back from your depressive moment! You know that I totally relate,I lost a lot of friends with my disorder,I would just lock myself in my shell and not communicate with anyone for long bout of this deep deep depression and then come out for awhile so no one knew how to become invested, so the left. Yours is the first channel that I found that said wow! It's not just me! Thank you for keeping it real and putting your life out there! Love you!❤️❤️❤️
Love you too Susan! I am so happy you have all of us here! Have you ever read into introvert personality. I am an introvert and homebody for sure! The thought of having company over or even talking on the phone spikes my anxiety and drains me. You are not alone. Take time to read into Introverts. I have a feeling you will make a new discovery about yourself. It is most likely just your personality and not the disorder that keeps you from wanting to deal with people. This is perfectly normal and okay to not want all of that socialization. It takes so much energy to be around others and their presence alone can be energy sucking. Also, read into Empaths. I am this too. Not everyone wants to entertain or have people up in their space and you should not have to apologize for this. You always have us here Susan! Now get your butt up and get cleaning! Open a window and crank some music and start with your kitchen. What are you planning for dinner tonight? Start thinking about that too! God bless & stay Mighty!💪🏻🙏🏼🦋🤍
I was sitting here just crying about my depression and anxiety to clean. I can’t express enough gratitude to you for this video. The Lord definitely lead me to place I needed to be. God Bless You and your family
Hey Tonya! I am working on that when I do my kitchen declutter I plan on extremely minimalizing it all. Catch that video eventually in my Messy to Minimal series continuing soon!
Game changer for certain. If you only have so many then you have to wash them more often BUT if you only have so many it just takes a few minutes! If you have 24 plates and you use 24 plates you have to take more time to wash them because they WILL get used. 8 plates wash in a jiffy!
It’s nice to know I am not alone. Having anxiety is something I just realized I also have along with depression. It causes a lot of mental anguish for sure! Thanks for sharing!
Looks good! Delegate kitchen responsibilities to your family... loading/unloading dishwasher, set/clear table, have a designated bag for recyclables/garbage, each family member should bring cups/plates from their rooms to the kitchen, etc. EVERYONE needs to pitch in!
Hi Kim! Yes it's all true and I do all of this on my good days! Depression and anxiety make the simple things very difficult to do. Thanks for being here! Stay Mighty & God bless!
Hello from Texas. I really admire your ability to be candid about your struggles. You give others hope simply by showing them that they are not alone. I'm a mental health professional but I'm not afraid to say I have also struggled. Our home was flooded in 2017 and we rebuilt and lost everything again in 2019. God is good and we are in a new house high and dry. There is much in my life to be thankful for but I'm working through my grief. Thank you for your encouragement. You are a light in a dark place. Hugs from Texas.
I feel like decluttering your kitchen would really help with how much is accumulated on your counters over those periods where you feel like you can't clean. that's something that I've found really helped me with my messes when I don't have any motivation due to my struggles.
Hi Carly and thabks for being here! Yes girl! I agree! Thats why I started my Messy to Minimal journey here as well. Its has been making a major difference already. Stay Mighty!♡
It’s so nice to have someone that understands. People who don’t go through it usually have nothing nice to say. Thank you for inspiring me. I’ve been going through everything and getting rid of things I’ve been holding onto
Yipppeeee waiting for your video since long 😂love to watch u all the time Love your talking ....I do my household cores while watching you 😊 u r my motivation .. keep uploading ...keep going 👏👏👏👏👏

Yayyyy! I really really needed to hear your words of wisdom because there’s been a dip here too! Upon watching your Last video I cleaned out two cupboards and organized them, and threw away so much, and did the same for our double utensils drawer! It was a dream to look at these parts of our kitchen this week after my work. I reluctantly threw away “extra’s” like you said and I’m gearing up to do my kids rooms and donate massive amounts to less fortunate kids who don’t have many toys! I HAVE to break free from saving SO many baby clothes of each kids’! With your extra inspiration! All- watch Laura’s videos over and over, they are life changing! You most certainly were called from God to do this work for many at home suffering in clutter and stagnant times during depression where we all don’t have energy to do so! You are all worth it, and you are amazing! Have a great day!☀️
Kathryn you are such a beautiful person and soul and I appreciate you so much! I am so proud of you for all that you have accomplished in your home recently. I know it's not easy to actually do it but it does feel amazing when it is done! Amazing progress! Keep going! I will return with more Messy to Minimal the week after the fourth of July! Thanks again for all of your love and support my friend! xo Stay Mighty and God bless! Love you! 💪🏻🙏🏼🦋🤍
Good luck to you, and "you go girl!"
So true. She is wonderful!!
Thank you for this! I got out of bed and cleaned my kitchen today and did something else big for one of my kiddos.yeah!
As a Vietnam veteran diagnosed with PTSD, anxiety and depression, I found it nearly impossible to maintain a clean home after the passing of my wife. Finding these instructional and encouraging videos have given me hope that not all is lost. Thank you!
Thank you for your service Bob. May your wife Rest In Peace. 🙏🏼💖
Bob, meu nome é Marly e sou do Brasil, quero te dizer que no mundo em que vivemos hoje nem precisa ser um veterano de guerra para ter ansiedade ou mesmo depressão, mas te digo que é possível se libertar destes males, te digo com certeza e até por expêriencia própria, podemos trabalhar nossa mente de uma forma positiva.Te desejo tudo de bom e dias bem melhores,sinto pela sua espôsa.✌🦋🙂🧘♀️🙏💐
Hi Bob, I hope you are doing well. I know the holidays are tough, but spring is soon. I hope the new year treats you well
Bless you
I'm so sorry for your loss! We're sending our love and prayers to you! May God comfort you!
Mom of four here - thank you for showing an actual, lived-in house. I swear 99% of these motivation videos on here show a spotless house from the get-go.
Your channel is amazing! Great motivator. I suffer from slight depression. If my fiancé didn’t help me get through it would be definitely hard for me! He helps me clean and I like to organize and sanitize. Big help. Everyone reading this have a blessed and glorious day. I know I’m late. Binge watching your channel at work
I agree most other videos look like they have maids that clean and all they have to do is empty a dishwasher and clean up kids toys
@@rotties777 Yep! Lol, it's annoying
So true!
How ironic that I see almost this identical comment under literally every cleaning motivation video on RUclips. 😂
People have judged me so harshly for having a messy house. I’ve felt so ashamed. This is so helpful. Thank you.
It's not you. It's our mental illness that causes the mess! You are not alone! Stay Mighty! Try to take that first step and push through it! You will feel good if you clean one small mess today! Progress over Perfection! xo Stay Mighty!
I know just how you feel! I haven't made myself "push through it" in years. I haven't had any one in my house in years. I hope she can get me going!!!
@@wendi2819 I hope she can too. I believe you can.
I understand, I'm gearing up to take control back of my own stuff. I've been guilt-tripping and shaming myself and it's only overwhelmed me that much more. I think we really need to allow ourselves some self compassion. I heard someone say once "it's not mess, it's sadness" and that is so spot on, for me it's the grief (of losing my Mom) I don't show when I'm outside the house. I'm slowly learning to show myself kindness and do little things here and there to make it better, some days I'll spend 20 mins decluttering and cleaning, other days I'll spend 3 hours, but every bit of progress (even tiny) is a victory and makes me feel lighter knowing it's one less thing to do. People who judge do not know nor understand depression/anxiety. No matter how ashamed it can make you feel, just remember you are doing the best you can and it's ok if your best is just getting out of bed and taking a shower that day ❤️
You are not alone.
If you've ever heard of FlyLady, this girl does a modified version of that, and she's great. It may be helpful for you, to help establish routines:

It’s hard to find the will to clean a house when you feel like you have no hope. I totally get it. Thank you for making this point. Makes total sense. It’s hard to find the will to do a lot of things when you have no hope. Sometimes sleeping is all you want to do. Even showering is a chore.
Hello Roxanne! Thank you for being here! I think the fact that you are here speaks volumes of how much hope you still have in you! Just take that first step into the shower and start there! You are not alone and if I can do this here you can do it! Stay Mighty! Praying for you! xo
@ verdade é assim que me sinto, estou lutando pra lavar e cuidar até do cabelo .🌷🇧🇷
I 100% identify with you.
Totally agree with you
This is MINISTRY! God bless you for being so open and courageous. I've been hiding in shame, climbing up out of this pit just to slide back down repeatedly for years. Your work is what I needed. Your honesty, your soothing voice, your methodology and song choice are like a prescription for me. God bless you.
I’ve never related to something so much. Your kitchen looks like mine, it’s reassuring to know I’m not alone ❤️
You can do this!♡
Yes!!!!!😍😍
@@MightyMama hi and congrats on great channel :) I would like to suggest getting a dish rack, helps dishes dry in no time and different compartments make the job easier, especially for cutlery x
Mine to.
Same. I always say if i didnt have to do the dishes by hand my kitchen would stay clean
I've realized I'm a perfectionist..if I feel that I can't do a task completely. I put it off and it causes anxiety as the days go by.:/
Same here and the mess just gets worse making anxiety rise and really don't want to deal with it all, it's a frustrating vicious circle 😩
Yes! I experience this same thing! I actually did a video on Perfectionism Procrastination. Most people were shock to learn of this. Everyone tends to think Perfectionist have orderly homes but it can be the complete opposite because it back fires. The detriments of Perfectionism. Check out that other video here: ruclips.net/video/QPIxshIRveQ/видео.html
Thanks for being here! Hope it helps! 💪🏻🙏🏼🦋🤍
I am one too and over the past two tears I've really been working on being content with "better". My life has improved so much
I'm like this too. One bit of advice I heard and am trying to follow is this and this is helping me so much! Give yourself permission to do things badly or not completely all the time. Because doing it "badly" is much better than not doing anything at all! What I mean is if you wait for the perfect time and the perfect amount of time, you're in the best mood, you feel great, you have all the "right" tools... etc it's not ever going to happen, it stops you, it is paralyzing!! Give yourself permission to work on something for 10 minutes or 20 minutes or even 5 minutes if that's the time you have and you don't have to do whatever it is perfectly! I've been doing this and I've made lots of progress. I'm not well physically, I'm mentally and emotionally exhausted and I am a procrastinater and a perfectionist. But I've decided that I am going to get the things done I need to NOW. So I'm just trying my best to work on things every day and being consistent. I will get there. I'm still interested in what helps others, that's why I'm here. I thought I would share this so I hope it helps someone else like it is helping me.
I now realise that I also am a perfectionist as I put off till I know and feel I can get it done thoroughly too. Amazing.xx
Thank you for showing the real mess because when my house gets messy I feel bad and it at times makes me feel worse. It is just nice to see that others allow their houses to go at times as well.
Oh yes girl! This is real life mess here! lol! It's perfectly normal! I hope you were able to clean it all up with me today! Stay Mighty! I am always here for you! God bless! 💪🏻🦋🙏🏼🤍
Thank you for sharing your struggles! Glad to know that we are not alone when it comes to depression/anxiety and mess. It can be so hard to find the smallest drop of energy or motivation to clean and the guilt and stress of not cleaning just makes it worst.
Hi Kimberly! Thank you so much for being here! I xompletely understand and that is why I really want to try an help by bringing these videos and at least offering a space for all of us alike to share their hesrts and speak about their mess and stuggle. We no longer have to hide our struggle and we are not alone!♡ Stay Mightty!💪🦋🙏🤎
I get it trust me!!
A real family with real mess it’s nice to see instead of always looking at show homes and not a thing out of place well done for doing this
Yes! This is how my home gets and I rarely see someone showcase mess similar to mine.
Ty for putting your life out here for others... It made me feel so good knowing that I'm not alone!! I have the same issues ..same struggles so ty for your words of wisdom ..God bless you.
I'm so happy to find this video this morning. I'm am completely overwhelmed with depression this today. It is the third anniversary of my husband's death . It doesn't get easier. I just want to stay in bed all day. I have so much cleaning I need to do. I haven't showered in days and I don't care. I hope this video will help motivate me a little.
Have you tried CBT therapy? Or any other therapy?
Hi Parker! I am so sorry for your loss. Losing our people just never gets easier but having experience with death at an esrly age has taught me that we are stro ger then we know and it is up to ourselves to keep going and living our life like our loved ones would want us too. Think of how your husband would feel if he knew you were not wanting to live life because of him. He is probably screaming down to you rn saying get up Parker! Take a shower and clean our home!! ♡🤣 This is what I think of when I am sad about my loved ones who pass on. We must live on and honor their memory by living a functiional life that they were not able to. We are so fortunate to still be here and while I dont know the loss of a husband I do know the pain of losing soneone very close to me and it forever changes things and it will always hurt. Still, we must press on and try our very best to hold onto the small sliver of happiness and let it be oir guide each day to keep moving and growing. Parker I am so sorry for your loss and pain. I want you to know that you are worthy of a happy life and you deserve to keep thriving in this life even without your husband. If you have children you can focus more time on their life to help distract you from the pain and keep you motivated so you are not falling deeper into depression. You must pull yourself out now before things get worst. You can do this! You are strong. God will see you through this challenge in life as he has all others. I will pray for you everyday with my morning devotional. Please know you have what it takes right inside of you to move forward and be happy again. You have this beautiful life to liv and your husband would want you to keep moving and live happy. Stay Mighty & God bless.💪🙏🤎🦋
@@malwinafidyk101 I did have grief therapy for the first year which helped a lot.
I’m trying to find something to keep me focused and doing something just for me.
@@pattiecake11 Sending you lot of love!
@@malwinafidyk101 Thank you so much! 🥰
My father just died two weeks ago and I’m having such a hard time getting out of bed cleaning the house. Going through his clothing and his stuff is debilitating. And on top of that trying to keep the house clean and cooking for a husband is mine blowing. When all I wanna do is go back to bed and cry because I have a big hole in my heart for my dad. I find this video very uplifting knowing that I’m not alone. Thank you for this video. I think living with depression and anxiety is so debilitating that people don’t understand how hard we have it. One day we’re good and then the next couple days we’re in bed and we’re not good and the house falls apart. It’s so frustrating. And then add a death in between that it’s so hard. Thank you for your video I’m going to try to tackle the downstairs after I Watch your video❤️🌻🙏
I am so sorry for your loss, I have lost both my parents. When I lost my mom I had just had a job transfer and it was one thing after another. I remember the most piles and piles of mail, actually had to put them in bags. Something so small is so big. I took it minute by minute hour by hour and now day by day. I already suffer from PTSD and anxiety it's so hard. You are not alone.
Thank your for your kind words on the loss of my Father.. I suffer from bipolar, anxiety, major depression.And so much more. Your videos are very helpfully… have a good day….. ❤️🌻🙏
I'm sorry for your loss 😢🥺 I pray that your heart is healing ❤ 🙏
So sorry to hear of your loss.
Im sorry for your loss.
I totally get how you said you’re an organized hoarder. I think when I realized I was one too, I went on a throw-away rampage. It. Felt. So. Good. I gave away about 10 hefty bags of clothes, the closet looked like paradise. And you know what….the garage is next 😳and I can’t freaken wait, I can just taste the endorphins.
Best comment!!! 💕💕
I have been watching your videos while I clean and I am so glad I found your channel. I have been struggling with anxiety, depression and OCD and lately it has gotten really bad. It’s so refreshing to find someone so relatable walking this path too. God bless you, I pray you find healing and that even if you don’t, you’ll walk through the valley with courage, knowing that God has you in His hand and he causes all things to happen for your good.
Linda mensagem 💓🇧🇷
Why do I feel like you're talking directly to me 🤔 this is very helpful, my anxiety has gone down since the start of the video. Im going to re-watch and clean.
Hey Angelina! Thank you for being here! Girl! I feel you! The struggle is real! Why!! Why!! Does this have to be so dang hard!! Ahhhh! We are not alone! Now lets slay this house!🤣🤦♀️ Always here for you! Stay Mighty! I love to here your progress in hour cleaning. Check back and let me know what you got done!♡
You had me from the start! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHARING your struggles with us! I, too, suffer from anxiety and depression, along with ADD and PTSD, but, my kiddos are grown and out in their own, so it’s just hubby and me! I feel so much better after watching this, and it helped me to clean in my kitchen for awhile ❤️❤️❤️
You helped me so much today 😭 it’s 8pm and I was desperate for some motivation and inspiration. I subscribed 10 mins into this video. Thank you for putting yourself out there! You are helping this mama. 💛 Praying for you and your energy and overall well being!
New subbie here! I ran into your video, and immediately tears started rolling down because i've been struggling with anexity and depression. I am a perfectionist and ocd clean freak. So when i fell into my depression, I felt like i lost myself.
Watching you reminded me of who i am. Thank you for that! Now i feel motivated enough to get moving.
Hi Michele!! Thank you for being here! Welcome to the journey to take control of the mess! I know exactly how you feel I have been exactly where you are and that is the reason I started this journey here. Please be sure to go back and watch this Day 1 video of the journey: ruclips.net/video/BasRjAIve44/видео.html
This video started it all and I really believe it will help you even more!
You can do this Michele! What you are experiencing is Perfectionism Procrastination which in turn causes depression. Here is a video for you on that: ruclips.net/video/QPIxshIRveQ/видео.html
I hope you have subscribed to join the journey! You can take control of the mess Michele and we are all here to support you through the process! Sending lots of good vibes and prayers your way! Stay Mighty and God bless! 💪🏻🦋🙏🏼🤍
I love how you talk me through the mess as I clean too. This really helps cause it's not just ME and my families mess, it's US and this mess. ❤
This was literally the best cleaning video. It’s so reassuring to know I’m not alone in this!
Thanks for being so real.
I so needed this today…. Thank you for showing the truth .
Thank you for posting these videos! I’m a newer subscriber and it’s been so nice watching someone who gets it. Anxiety can be so isolating, even with having great friends and family around. And I’ve found that people can only empathize so much in regards to other people’s mental illnesses. Some people just want to know when you’ll “get better.” Or others may not understand why you can’t get out of bed or shower or even stomach solid foods. So thank you for shining light on this!
I love your comment! Just hearing that other people can’t get out of bed some days, is so comforting. My hubby took his life 4 years ago (waiting for a heart transplant), and my area is still locked down with COVID. When I feel overwhelmed by housework and lawnwork, I just shut down because I don’t know where to start.
@@nancyball7466 I’m so sorry for your loss and the added hardship that COVID has brought on. I’m hoping that one day soon things will start to look a little brighter for you!
Thank you so much for sharing this video. I needed this bc you understand what I many like us are going through. I have MS and depression and anxiety and low energy levels go handed. It's really hard to keep a clean house let alone everything together when you feel like crap. So it's nice to have someone else who understands.
Deus te ama infinitamente , lembre se disso sempre , converse com ele , está sempre disposto a nos abençoar bjs ❤️ 🙏🇧🇷
I so related to this. Sometimes no matter what, I have no energy or motivation to do anything. Its strange how it can just hit out of nowhere even after being on a good roll. Thanks I'm trying
Hi Jennifer! Yes girl! The struggle is real and it sucks! At least we can think of eachother when we are down and know we are not alone. Just think of me telling you to get your butt up now and clean something! You will feel so much better!🤣😄 Hope that helps on those low days! I have been trying to remember "cleaning one small mess a day keeps the stress mess away! Thank you for being here! Stay Mighty!🙏💪🤎🦋
What a wonderful, lovely young wife & mother! You are so kind to be sharing your personal experience with others. May God bless your family and home now & forever.💕
Thank you so much! I watched your video, then turned it off and did a load of dishes. Watched your video again and did another load of dishes. Watched your video for a little time again and did some other things around the house. This is really helping me. Thank you so much!
I love how real you are! Dont ever be embarrassed of sharing your messy lives some are messier then others! I am I was a hording show I had so much loss in my life from rape to losing my 18 yr old son to suicide and my brother being murdered I stopped living! Stopped caring and stoped cleaning I wanted to not be here anymore! Then one day I was sitting on a bench and a old lady came up to me and prayed for me I looked around didn't see anyone! I was going to go into the river to end my pain! God had other plans I felt this peace swoop over me and I felt better decided to go home and try I managed after 6 months to get my life back on track ! I cleaned decluttered moved toxic people out even family and lost over 80 lbs became healthy mentally physically and emotionally 🙏 you are an inspiration to others thank you 💕 keep going others need you! 🙏❤️ God bless you love from Canada ❤️ now work with homeless people and realized this was gods plan 🙏 your helping others! Thanks
That was motivating indeed. It helps me to start cleaning and decluttering. Thank you.
yay! Awesome! Keep going Carine! So Mighty! 💪🏻🙏🏼🦋🤍
I clean as I walk by. Saves time. Change old habits.
My mind was blown watching you use the dishwasher silverware thingy! Game changer! this is another reason I love watching other women clean I learn soo many things.
Not enough people talking about this thank you! Thank you for showing your real kitchen and mess and just being real it helps so much to know I am not alone.
Thank you for this! I've watched other videos in this series but this one really did the trick. I spent all night with chest pains from my anxiety, almost no sleep, so in the morning I just got up and decided to clean my house (that looked similar to yours). The mess was cripling and overwhelming me. I ended up doing 3 loads of laundry, collected and sorted allll the laundry, tidied up all over the house and cleaned all the surfaces and floors!! This was one my best cleaning mornings, thanks to you 💕💕
I am so encouraged and blessed with your willingness to be vulnerable and honest about a topic that needs support. You are a blessing from God. Thank you
Awesome motivating video for those of us who struggle with no energy! Thank you for helping this girl get up and get busy!
Relief! I feel relief that there is another woman who gets me! I am alone as my friends that are not fighting anxiety and depression and panic attacks. Just to know that there is someone who is speaking so freely and showing life as it is ...... the relief and not feeling alone watching this is a gift. Thank you
Thank you mama I needed this motivation I have been depressed for weeks and my house is a mess! I am SO glad I found someone I can really relate too 🥰💜
Thank you for this video. I watch these perfect houses on TV and tik tok ect and feel even worse. As a single mom fighting anxiety and depression it's very hard and I'm so glad I found this video.
Great job. Sometimes cleaning up like this is what lifts the depression. It’s like a big weight is lifted off of your shoulders. I love your kitchen. So practical the way it is laid out. The U shape makes the best workspace, with everything just a few steps a part.
Thank you for your honesty. My Son suffers with anxiety and depression. I only began watching your declutter videos this week. Now I can say you have inspired me in more ways than one. I am great at storing things, but it's time to let go of a lot of things. As you de-cluttered your Daughter's room, that was an eye opener moment for me. I will keep watching. You are in my prayers. God bless you and your Family!
🤎 Hi and thank you for being here! I am happy that my video helped bring you some clarity and motivation. Decluttering can be emotional and exhausting but it is like a weight lifted once it is gone. I have many more of my Messy to Minimal coming this week. Stay tuned and Stay Mighty!💪🙏
I’ve started my clean house journey because of you! So glad you came up on my feed! Thought I was the only one who had a dirty house due to depression and now the mess is inducing the anxiety - not the only one!!! Thank you for your wisdom!
You absolutely DO serve a purpose for me! I listen to your thoughts and feelings and find a kindred spirit near to me as much of this goes through my head and my life... I know you help many and probably some you do not even know about. What a generous soul you are and thank you.
Im so glad i cane across ur video im struggling with depression n anxiety n u totally motivated me thanks for sharing ur story god bless
My morning motivation! I sit and have my coffee, watch one of your videos, then get going on my housekeeping. I really need that motivation. Thank you Mighty Mama.
Just letting you know I've been watching all of your videos coming out and I'm super proud of you for staying with this process. When I saw that your stove was cleaned before you even said that you had been keeping up with it I was already like YES go girl and you're doing so good!!
Thank you for listening/obeying and sharing this. My heart feels so much better now. Just knowing that others are struggling too makes a big difference. Thank you
I just found your channel! Thank you for speaking out about Anxiety and depression. I suffer with anxiety and it drains you physically and mentally. I have found out the more I move the better I feel. Some days are harder than others. When you know something needs to be done but you just don’t have the energy.
I keep my house clean but some days I need that special motivation. Thank you for listening to God When it comes to your channel. I just subscribed!! God Bless you!
@ Mighty Mama I feel so grateful to have found your channel. It is truly a blessing from the Lord and exactly what I need in my life at this time. Your channel is so much different than others I've come across, as good as many of those channels are, your channel is exactly what I need right now. Thank you for putting in the work of making the videos and ALL the work of editing and uploading when time and other real life obligations are challenging. I hope you keep up with your channel and I just want you to know what a blessing you have been in my life at a time when I needed it most. Thank you so very much!!
Hello and wow! I am so grateful for your kind message and for you taking the time to be here and trust in me for the help you need at this time. I am happy to do Gods work and be here for others who share in my struggle as well. It makes all the difference knowing we are not alone. I hope my videos will continue to motivate you and help you feel less alone. God bless you! Stay Mighty! I am always here.🤎
This is such a helpful series. You’re doing an amazing job juggling all these responsibilities while dealing with anxiety and depression. Your family is lucky to have you 🌷💜
I love your compassion. I feel I'm not alone 💖 you give me hope 🤗
Also cleaning as you cook really helps me not to be overwhelmed with 1 huge pill of dishes
I agree, it isn’t always easy , particularly in the evening. If I clean as I go while making dinner then after dinner cleanup isn’t so daunting. It’s less depressing to wake up to a kitchen that’s sorted out. The other habit I got into was making my bed when I wake up. There’s something calming about getting into a made bed at night, especially if it’s been a bad day. Now if I can only figure out what to do with the rest of the house.
You're such a blessing. Just seeing this and something actually relatable and not manicured or pretentious was super encouraging and inspiring. Yes anxiety is incredibly draining. It's like a fight just to get up off the couch and seeing the mess it evokes more anxiety due to the overwhelm. Knowing we're not alone in the struggle is a motivator in itself, to know somebody else is living through the same thing and we're not alone. Thank you :)
I needed this video. I needed to see that I'm not the only one. The words you were saying we're exactly how I feel. I'm not a Mom and I never plan to be and my depression is a big part of why I've made that decision for myself. Thank you so much for this video! 😭❤️
Thank you for being here and sharing your heart Hannah. We are not alone. Stay Mighty!💪🤎🦋🙏
Girl! I was on RUclips trying to find motivation and literally your video did it for me. I thank you for being so transparent. You did amazing and so glad I found your channel. Anxiety and depression suck!
🤎💪🙏🦋
I would hire you to clean, you're amazing at it! Why is "woman's work" never valued highly? Seems to me, people take clean for granted, it's a huge never ending job and usually thankless. 🤷♀️
Well thank you! Rita! Funny because I used to clean houses for a side job! Have a beautiful weekend! XO
Yes definitely agreed!!
Because "woman's work" keeps everyone else healthy enough to complain about it lol. I came across something in a fiction book years ago that mentioned sewing and how without women doing it, the world of men would be quite naked lol. As for kitchen work, everyone else would be hungrier and sicker if it wasn't done. That makes a lot of people who don't do it uncomfortable, so they complain instead. It's a psychological thing, I think. Sweet lemons, sour grapes? I'm probably wrong on that.
Edit: tossed a few more thoughts in.
It is 💯 thankless.
@@MightyMama They most likely didn't pay you enough. You do a very thorough job cleaning and you stay the course!
Its very brave of you talk freely of depression. Cleaning helps me too. I feel so much better when I see clean rooms and I have done something for myself and my family.
I’m so glad I discovered your channel because I really needed this to get to doing what I’ve been putting off
Hey there! You got this! You can do it! No more procrastinating! Just start now with one small mess and see where it takes you. Then start again tomorrow and the next day and so on! That is all we can do! Day by day! If I can do this you can do this! I hope you have subscribed and joined the journey here to take control of the mess in our homes! We can live clean, organized and happy! Stay Mighty and God bless! 💪🏻🙏🏼🤎🦋
I watched this RUclips video where the creator talked about the 5 minute tidy. I’ve been using that on my downstairs and so far it has helped me SO much! I struggle so bad with mess and like you said once it gets to a certain point you don’t even want to start, then I spend my day off cleaning all day and don’t get to relax. Thank you for your honesty and letting us know we are not alone!
This is the first of your videos I’ve watched, and I’m so glad I found this! I’ve really been struggling, and it’s so frustrating to not only me but my husband too
Thank you for being honest and making me feel less alone.❤️
Your voice is very calming 😌 I find it very relaxing watching your videos
I just found this video and your words of encouragement are so nice to hear. I’m currently pregnant(having a horrible time), have a toddler, currently dealing with a severe stunt of depression and anxiety. I also have other health issues as well as pretty severe anemia. It’s been so hard trying to get my house clean and maintained. I always get close but never finish. It’s so nice to hear that I’m not alone with this! My family is so judgmental and don’t understand how it takes so much energy just to get out of bed, let alone keep up with my toddler and my house.
Hello my friend! You are definitely not alone and I know it can be very discouraging and depressing when the rest of the families are doing it all and functioning at their full potential while you just feel like your drowning under the mess and completely burned out at the same time. This can keep you feeling stuck! I will tell you I had anemia in pregnancy and I had zero energy because of it. Please make sure you are taking iron supplements. It is crucial for you restore those iron levels as that will definitely effect your energy and productivity in general. If you are having stomach issues with iron then I highly recommend Andrew Lessman Iron capsules. They are pure and have ZERO side effects. No constipation or upset stomach. I took those my entire pregnancy and it was a night and day difference. Please try them and be consistent in taking them. Give it a week and I promise you will feel that natural energy resurface and be able to be more productive both mentally and physically. Anemia can effect all of this drastically. I am here for you if you need the encouragement and support! I just posted a NEW VIDEO today so I hope that will help you to get started cleaning one small mess today! Please take care! Stay Mighty Mama! It will get better! xo 🤍🦋💪🏻
God Bless you! Love your videos, thanks for sharing everything, I know it was not easy! Thanks for mentioning that your calling of making videos came from the almighty! Thank God everyday, he does not abandon! Keep up the great work & inspiring words 🥰🙏🏽🙏🏽🤗
Thank you for understanding and helping me know I'm not the only one
After watching your videos, I am able to clean "one thing at a time" and get it done. I used to get overwhelmed with a list of things I needed to do and often did nothing except watch TV or read a book. This works, I set a timer and work for 15-30 minutes. Amazing what I can accomplish in that time. Thank you.
I just want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart. I have 3 kids, (8,6 &2) my husband works away all week and we homeschool. I am more of a "type a" person by nature and have been in a slump for a long time. Been trying to declutter but I get so discouraged trying to do it all on my own. I don't have a "village" to help with the children. Thank you so much for your encouragement. My house is a wreck, I've been sick which makes it worse. You have made a big difference in my day Tonight. Keep on keeping on. ❤️
You got this Mama! You are not slone! I am here in the trenches of Motherhood with you as well as taking control of our home! Stay Mighty! I am always here for you. 💪🤎🙏🦋
@@MightyMama thank you! ☺️
Doing dishes every day and also racing a 5 minute timer once a day to just pick up the house can also be very powerful. See videos and books by Dana K. White for her "container concept" which is a really simple way to declutter without pulling everything out of a space and making a bigger mess. I think that making doing the dishes daily as non-negotiable helped me stay out of the deep valleys of depression. It was something that made things better, and at the time that was enough. God bless you!
Hi Gayle! Yes you are right about everything. I have mentioned this in this video that if only I can fight through the depression on the days when there are only a few dishes in the sink instead of putting it off until it's an overwhelming mess like today! I am working on this. I typically do this everyday but then that energy dip happens out of the blue. Depression has a way of messing up one's life. Literally! And thank you for that recommendation. I will check it out soon. I would love to declutter without making a mess. Thanks so much for being here! Stay Mighty!💪🏻🙏🏼🦋🤍
I have finally gotten to the point where I do dishes most days. Doing a major kitchen to clutter was key. We start to run out of bowls or plates at a certain point and that triggers me to do the dishes. We probably could only go two days without having to wash bowls and plates. I also do all her dishes by hand and have a small dish strainer so it kind of makes me want to do them every day because I want them to fit in the dish strainer. I’ve never had a dishwasher as an adult but I imagine it would almost be like a place to hide things. Handwashing has really helped the dishes not pile up so big.
Honestly, Dana's method of Decluttering whilst not leaving a bigger mess is simply revolutionary, and it's so simple!
I agree, I hate waking up to dirty dishes in the sink.
It‘s my last routine at the day to check the kitchen. It takes so much of my energy and let me think about to walk right back to my bed when i look at a dirty kitchen in the morning. Honestly my dishwasher is my livesaver.
Being a young mom of 3 toddlers with a full-time job and studying part-time, life feels overwhelming and I find myself crying a lot and just feel sad ALL the time. I recently found your channel and I'm binge-watching all of your videos and I can't help but cry almost every time I watch your content because of the comfort I find when watching and listening to you speak. To know that I'm not alone and I've tried to explain to my family how I feel and no one understands which makes me feel so lonely and isolated. So I def. feel understood and not alone when I watch your videos. hope that makes sense lol
That’s awesome that your going to school part time it will be worth it in the long run when you can provide even more for your little ones. It must be hard at times, having toddlers is a handful and you have three! I’m sure your doing your best don’t be so hard on yourself mama. For everytime you cry tell yourself one thing you are grateful for! I hope that helps stay positive mama
I found this Video while I was feeling very overwhelmed and unmotivated. I appreciate this whole heartedly!!!Cause it’s real life. I’m a mom of 4. So the mess grows quickly….If you can do it then I can too!!! Thank you thank you 🙏
I have really been struggling the last two weeks but today I found your channel! Soooo happy to say I've been motivated! The house isn't done yet but we'll on it's way. Thank you my new friend 😘
Just came to say you're awesome and I'm glad you got up!
Thank you for being so open and honest. It can be so hard sometimes. I always have stuff just random stuff on the benches and what I found is having a dump container on the bench and a container for the dirty dishes so if I need to wash something quickly I just pull the container of dishes out.
Hi and thank you! This is a great idea!
I have bi-polar and am in a low phase. But, today I cleaned a chest of drawers thanks to your inspirational post.
Thanks,
Collette xx
My lack of cleaning is due to a physical disability, which I hope is temporary…going on 2 years being unable to clean my own house. THAT depresses me 😳😭
Thank you! You are motivating for me! It's hard to want to clean, but the after is so good!
This is a complete game changer!!! Cleaning “with someone” or the feeling of that has made this so much easier. I ALWAYS get distracted and get absolutely nothing done- anxiety, depression, ADHD here- this is THE most I’ve gotten done in months watching these videos!! Thank you so much!
I'm a working/stay at home mom of 7 about to be 8 and I can relate to this SO MUCH! I'm home during the day and I work at nights an let me tell ya; the stress; anxiety and depression is so real! I deal with all of it along with PTSD and it's a daily struggle to wanna get up and clean. I just feel drained and tired and everything just comes off so overwhelming! Even looking at the mess is stressful. I'm so glad I came across your channel this morning ❤️ I've wanted to start a RUclips channel for the same inspirational reasons but again; it's just overwhelming to think about so again; I'm so happy I came across yours! Youre amazing and can do anything you set your mind too! Never forget it 😘
Being a guy, I just need to say listening to the video means more than I expected and I thank you for stepping up and facing your life issues with us all.
Thank you for your vulneralbility and sincerity. I am happy my videos help. I will be making more so I hope you will subsctibe and stick around for more real life cleaning motivation and more!🤍
This is just what I needed today. Makes it less stressful for me to get motivated to clean.
Awesome! Get it done! It will feel so much better after! You can do this! 💪🙏🦋🤎
I love that you talk throughout the video. You have a soothing voice.
New subscriber here. I finally found a motivational “clean with me” type channel where the host/hostess actually understands where some of us are coming from. Love it! Wonderful video and motivation! Your “before” is so much like my “normal”, lol!
My only suggestion is for your video production. Because you have such a soft pleasant voice over, you might want to turn your music segments down a bit. It might just be my TV that does it, but I adjust the sound for when you talk, and then when the music comes in, I need to turn it down quite a bit. Maybe some of your regulars can let me know if it’s just my TV’s audio that causes this.
Hello! And thank you so much for being here. Ya know I totally agree with you. I never noticed this until I play my video on my tv after reading your comment. I will definitely change that. It is completely different from my pbone to my tv. Its also totally different when editing so I will try my best to make it mor balanced. Thank you for your honest feedback. I appreciate it and welcome to fhe journey! So happy to have you here! Stay Mighty!♡
I’ve noticed on a lot of videos where it switches from talking to music a lot the music tends to be a lot louder when on the tv, however it’s even sounding while on my phone which is really odd. I don’t understand why it does that
@@LK-ir2pg - Yes, in fact I noticed this more often on a lot of the short movie channels here on RUclips, like DUST sci-fi and Omeletto, but not as much on other regular channels. I’m guessing that phones handle sound layers differently and just “flatten” them out (for lack of a better word). The only easy remedy I’ve found so far is to use my phone as the speaker. My TV is on Roku, and iPhone has a Roku Remote Control app. On that remote control is a button that lets you quickly transfer the sound from your TV to the phone. So when I find myself watching one of those sound-challenged programs or movies, I use my phone remote. My phone usually sets near me anyway so it works well for this.
@@MightyMama - I found a solution on my remote control app that works to level it all out and I just carry it with me. It’s not ideal, because it sort of flattens out the rich tones of your music, but if I’m cleaning too, it keeps me from having to stop and run to the volume controls, lol.
Thank you so much for sharing this and for talking about your experience with anxiety and depression. I felt like you were talking directly to me and it was so nice to finally feel like I had someone who completely understands what this feels like. Thank you!
Just keep goin u help me with a lot an I’m proud of you 💪🏾🙏🏾
Thank you, I will! You help me too! Stay Mighty & God bless! 💪🏻🙏🏼🦋🤍
Right after a good cry, I will be ready. Thank you for this.
This is exactly what I NEED,
Thank you for posting this video, sometimes it feels like i am the only one that struggles to keep house while i am dealing with depression but its good to see that other mamas are willing to share real life and real struggles and it makes me feels less lonely on my struggle
I love this chanel!! Best wishes form Argentina 🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷
Thank you Analia! I appreciate you being here! God bless & Stay Mighty! 💪🏻🙏🏼🦋🤍
You are such a Blessing to me... Years of depression ... Your the Light at the end of My tunnel ❤
I always feel like I should be there to help you. Strange as I rarely clean my own place--HA!
Lol! That's so sweet of you! I would love to have you come help me! Thank you for being here Karen! xo
Thank you so much for sharing this. I’ve struggled with depression and anxiety for years- my house can get embarrassingly messy, and I physically cannot make myself clean it. I get so very overwhelmed and don’t even know where to start. It’s so helpful and encouraging know that others deal with the same thing.
So glad to see you back from your depressive moment! You know that I totally relate,I lost a lot of friends with my disorder,I would just lock myself in my shell and not communicate with anyone for long bout of this deep deep depression and then come out for awhile so no one knew how to become invested, so the left. Yours is the first channel that I found that said wow! It's not just me! Thank you for keeping it real and putting your life out there!
Love you!❤️❤️❤️
Sending love! ❤
Love you too Susan! I am so happy you have all of us here! Have you ever read into introvert personality. I am an introvert and homebody for sure! The thought of having company over or even talking on the phone spikes my anxiety and drains me. You are not alone. Take time to read into Introverts. I have a feeling you will make a new discovery about yourself. It is most likely just your personality and not the disorder that keeps you from wanting to deal with people. This is perfectly normal and okay to not want all of that socialization. It takes so much energy to be around others and their presence alone can be energy sucking. Also, read into Empaths. I am this too. Not everyone wants to entertain or have people up in their space and you should not have to apologize for this. You always have us here Susan! Now get your butt up and get cleaning! Open a window and crank some music and start with your kitchen. What are you planning for dinner tonight? Start thinking about that too! God bless & stay Mighty!💪🏻🙏🏼🦋🤍
I was sitting here just crying about my depression and anxiety to clean. I can’t express enough gratitude to you for this video. The Lord definitely lead me to place I needed to be. God Bless You and your family
Getting 1 cup , plate and bowl for each person in your household helps cut dishes i had wayyy to much crap in my kitchen and you can even color code
Hey Tonya! I am working on that when I do my kitchen declutter I plan on extremely minimalizing it all. Catch that video eventually in my Messy to Minimal series continuing soon!
This was a game changer for us! We all chose our favorite color, and never regretted it.
Game changer for certain. If you only have so many then you have to wash them more often BUT if you only have so many it just takes a few minutes! If you have 24 plates and you use 24 plates you have to take more time to wash them because they WILL get used. 8 plates wash in a jiffy!
I have major depressive disorder and this video will help me. Thanks!
It’s nice to know I am not alone. Having anxiety is something I just realized I also have along with depression. It causes a lot of mental anguish for sure! Thanks for sharing!
Looks good! Delegate kitchen responsibilities to your family... loading/unloading dishwasher, set/clear table, have a designated bag for recyclables/garbage, each family member should bring cups/plates from their rooms to the kitchen, etc. EVERYONE needs to pitch in!
Hi Kim! Yes it's all true and I do all of this on my good days! Depression and anxiety make the simple things very difficult to do. Thanks for being here! Stay Mighty & God bless!
Hello from Texas. I really admire your ability to be candid about your struggles. You give others hope simply by showing them that they are not alone. I'm a mental health professional but I'm not afraid to say I have also struggled. Our home was flooded in 2017 and we rebuilt and lost everything again in 2019. God is good and we are in a new house high and dry. There is much in my life to be thankful for but I'm working through my grief. Thank you for your encouragement. You are a light in a dark place. Hugs from Texas.
I feel like decluttering your kitchen would really help with how much is accumulated on your counters over those periods where you feel like you can't clean. that's something that I've found really helped me with my messes when I don't have any motivation due to my struggles.
Hi Carly and thabks for being here! Yes girl! I agree! Thats why I started my Messy to Minimal journey here as well. Its has been making a major difference already. Stay Mighty!♡
It’s so nice to have someone that understands. People who don’t go through it usually have nothing nice to say. Thank you for inspiring me. I’ve been going through everything and getting rid of things I’ve been holding onto
Yipppeeee waiting for your video since long 😂love to watch u all the time
Love your talking ....I do my household cores while watching you 😊 u r my motivation .. keep uploading ...keep going 👏👏👏👏👏
Woo Hoo! I am so glad! Keep going! 💪🏻🙏🏼🦋🤍
