The secret for cleaning motivation?
Open one of your videos…ANY one of your videos… I have been following you for years. Amazing woman! Love you girl!💖
Hi Cas. I absolutely love your Bootcamp. It has helped me a lot so thank you. I have used the Organize 365 method many times over and got great result, but your approach has helped so much. I think it is because I am a ladybug as you are. Also, all your energy is inspiring. Thanks heaps for your words about creating a "sanctuary" feel in the bedroom. I got rid of lots of office stuff and replaced it with artwork. Please keep going with all the declutter and organizing help you give! Susanne in New Zealand
Hi Cas, love your channel. can we still join the challenge? is there a start and end date?
💯🙌🙋FACTS!🤯🤯🤯 I was watching your videos found the command center video and got a ton of inspiration wrote them down ,but yet I scrolled to the next video of ADHD and sat watching it and relating to the WHOLE video, and super happy I found your channel and subscribed . BUT I was still sitting , NOT starting on my command center ideas ,Not doing my laundry, AND NOT moving any time soon LOL!! I was about to continue to binge watch your content!!! 3rd video of yours I happen to click on was this one !!!🤯 IM UP baby! Love that you suggested Eminem and DMX in your last video as well ! So here I am UP , Jumping around and getting it to some Em and DMX☝️ RIP✨ Dancing around and cleaning and command center here I come!!!! What!!!! You are Amazing 🤩😘
@@Susie82961 Ditto! Cas is a miracle worker.
After the video I raised my hands up in the air and said, "Guess what! Now I get to clean the kitchen!" And my four year old gasped and said "Can I help?!" 😄
Lol!😂. So cute!❤️
😂
🤗😅😂
Teaching moment for everyone ❤
Awww so cute 😂
I've been up since 2:30 a.m., I couldn't muster up the energy to get up and dance. I'm 73 and the sole caretaker of physically handicapped hubby that also has dementia. After doing yardwork, cleaning house, getting groceries, I'm exhausted, but I don't have dirty dishes in my sink, my house is decluttered and organized, and my laundry is done! So I'm pretty proud of myself. Go me!
Yes, you deserve to be proud of yourself.
Your fantastic. 😊😊
You are amazing ❤
Flylady?
You're amazing! I have a partially disabled hubby and work full time. Our grown kids are here for back up and I still often feel as though I can't stay on top of things. You're my hero! ❤ 🙏 🫂
I wasn’t sold until the “I deserve a clean home” bit. Then I said it out loud and now I’m tidying 🥳 Thanks, Cas!
Whoopwhoopwhoop! For youuuu! Hooray!
Yay!!!!
The "I deserve a clean home" got me to sounded like music to my ears ☺️
I’ve heard a similar brain trick where you get up in the morning, stand with your hands on your hips, shoulders back, head held high and smile for like 30 seconds or a minute or something and it tricks your brain into feeling happy and powerful for the new day!
I remember watching an interview with Jaime Lee Curtis where she talked about changing her story when taking with her kids. Instead of saying I have to go to work, she would tell them I get to go to work. I'm privileged to have a job to help support my family and that allows us to have fun together and pay bills. I have since always done that with my kids when their father was in busy season at work and couldn't spend as much time with them.
I love this simple shift! Thank you for sharing!
I just listened to a podcast by Josh Becker saying something similar.
Love this mindset of thinking
Great tip! I saw a similar method by Mel Robbins for anxiety, to reframe the nervous symptoms of anxiety by telling yourself you're excited... Like on a plane, when you're anxious of flying, repeat in your head how excited you are for the holiday, so your brain believes the symptoms are great
Lol I bet it is easy since you’re the one at home!
Speaking as someone with a disability that puts extreme limits on my physical capacity to clean I find tackling a single small surface at a time is incredibly effective. It isn't a huge time or energy commitment. You can tell yourself that you don't need to do anything beyond your bedside table or your washroom counter. But having the visual reminder of the small achievement builds momentum and motivation for the next surface, the next task. So even if you only have a max of 5 min capacity like I do and you need to rest for an hour or return to it the next day you can admire your progress and feel good about yourself the whole time. Making beds is great because it is a huge space and proportion of the room that feels clean and neat for minimal effort. The floor might be so messy it is impossible to navigate, but at least the bed is a break for the eye and motivate to tackle a corner next time.
I can relate. Well said! Xxx
I agree, making the bed is something I do every single day, even if I'm still in my pj's and just collapse back on top of it for the rest of the day. Often it's the only tidying I get done but makes the whole room feel tidy without much effort. Those 5 minute jobs are so useful, I try to do things like unload half the dishwasher while making coffee, or put one thing in it's home any time I get up for something. They do add up. I'm never on top of the house but it does stop it being total chaos!
Thank you for your comment as I too have injuries that cause me pain most days/nights. So I go with what my body says and feels!! I do get depressed sometimes when my house gets out of control!! But my kids do help around the house most days 💜
I am the type of person who was always able to get everything finished in one day and wouldn't allow myself to do anything fun until it was done. I loved having everything done at the same time (perfectionist tendencies.) Fast forward and now I'm disabled and deal with pain and major fatigue issues along with depression. I don't get started even for 5 minutes. I'm trying to change my mindset but boy is it hard. I won't do anything versus doing a little. I know 5 mins matters. I guess 20 years of being disabled isn't enough to get my mind changed 😩
@@intherockies I, too, grieve my past and struggle to accept my current limitations. Physically and emotionally. I hear you on that lingering perfection, gotta do it all or not do any, mindset. Especially because it worked at one time and you remember how great it felt. Sometimes all I can do is during an ad, go put a dirty dish from where I am into the kitchen sink then come back down, but even one little thing is progress and other days I get a whole hour of stuff done!! If you want to try, I recommend setting a timer and just do 60 seconds of work. Just one minute. Then see how you feel. See if you feel better after that one minute. And give yourself permission to stop after that minute if that feel right, too!!
I totally did this. My enthusiasm attracted my 7 year old daughter and she helped me clean out the fridge. Double win! 🙌🏼 Love the story at the end. 😂 Always.
I regularly rewatch this one when I’m not feeling the most motivated to get up and get things done. Just body doubling with you chatting in the background helps me. Thank you
You're welcome!
Passively watching because I'm at work, but this actually seems like something that'll help, even with ADHD in the mix. Standing up is usually the hardest part.
Agreed. I’m at work, so not doing the woo girl thing. But the “state” concept resonates. Just standing up is sometimes the hardest part.
Joshua Becker has a great tip that helps getting out of bed/the chair. Just say to yourself that all you have to do is, "Feet on the floor, eyes out the window." Don't think about anything beyond that. And do it before you look at your phone. "Feet on the floor, eyes out the window."
I am doing the same thing! And also I think this might appease my ADHD too
this is so real:( as someone also with adhd i find it so hard to clean. i’ve been meaning to deep clean my room for months. it can be so hard to clean and find motivation to do so. i’m 17 and i never seemed to get the habit of keeping things clean for more than a month at a time. there are some methods that have helped me though, like making a huge to do and also a small to do in case one or the other is too overwhelming to me at the time. one list will have the most specific and smallest parts to feel more accomplished and one will have maybe 10 things maximum. sometimes i don’t use a to do and i just free clean whatever i can. another thing that helps is settings. timer for even 25 mins and getting a 5-10 minute break. i’ve also made time lapse vids, facetimed people, made plans at my house, asked ppl to come over to clean w me, etc to get an extra push. music that makes you dance can help, so can finding a good reason to clean like “this will help me destress/i can find that one thing i lost”. sometimes i really do have to just say to myself that if i can do a task in the next two minutes then i should do it immediately & get something done. sometimes i sit and clean also:) make a bucket or pile for things that don’t belong in the area you’re in and clean it out after your floor or bed is clean. eliminates the issue of standing fatigue and such
I didn’t right now because this is my time to relax with a cup of coffee, but I am 100% going to do this when it’s time to get busy in about 15 min. Love you Cass. Your personality, enthusiasm, and encouragement is a gift.
Same. 😊♡
i totally love her energy too, wishing you a lovely coffee time, precious time in fact ☺️😘
@@luna7453 thank you!
Haha yeah. I got up to wiggle happily, but then sat back down to watch the rest of the video. But I totally will after my coffee, too!! Her enthusiasm is contagious.
Me too!😂
Cass and coffee is the best. Gotta get the quality c&c
"I deserve to have a house that doesn't look like a hot-mess sandwich." I love that! That's a quote fir the fridge!
I NEVER do what the person in the video tells me to do but I did and I’m so glad. I was having such a zero energy day and feeling guilty for accomplishing NOTHING. Now I feel like I can tackle my to-do list by telling myself I get to do life! And that I deserve to have a sane/manageable plan for the things I choose to do. I saved this video because I don’t ever want to forget this. Thank you 🙏 😊
I made my 4 little kids get excited with me!
Woohoo, here we go!!! We get a clean house today!
Awww 4 little ones getting excited with you sounds soooo cute. Bless them all!!
Another Cass saying to add to my mental arsenal. My favorite is “if it takes less than a minute, do it now”. That one has really cut down on the out of place clutter! Thanks Cass!
This one is such a game changer. I wish I had realized it sooner. It's actually easier and less effort to just do small tasks right away then it is to put it off. Then all those little things don't accumulate and snowball into a cleaning project that will take days. For the first time in decades my house is consistently tidy.
Even though I’m home alone (hubby at work) I was embarrassed to get up and get excited. I quietly said “woohoo, I can do this today” it felt pretty good, so I stood up and did it again. Before I knew it I was dancing around like a crazy person. I’m sure if my neighbors would have seen me they would have either joined me or had me committed! My energy level went from 2 to 10 in about 3 minutes. AMAZING! I turned on some music and away I went. I also took a few minutes to change my mindset from “I have to do this” to “ I am so blessed to have a beautiful home to clean.” Thank you Cas, this Ladybug 🐞 is a happy camper, with no crickets 🦗 😂
😂
Saying it in my head: not much.
Saying it out loud in a noisy room just barely loud enough to hear "I deserve a clean house": chills.
Thank you. I love it. ❤️
I just sat passively, but I appreciated the idea. I am working through a depression. My eight- and ten- year old dogs just died this month within 12 days of one another and I'm trying to go forward. I have a puppy to train, so that helps, but it doesn't stop the crying fits and general depression. Cleaning bits of the house, one thing at a time, has been helping to keep me from just lying in bed and crying for my dogs.
Hugs.
I’m so very sorry! My 16-year-old furbaby that I’ve had since he was 5 weeks passed away a couple of months ago. I’m broken hearted and still crying, so I understand how you feel
💚🫂 I had my girl for 16 years. I still tear up when I try to talk about her. She's gone but I'll never stop loving her.
We just moved to a brand new built house. Wasn't ready when we moved in bc we Had to get out of our old house bc got sold.
We've had some stress of not being able to put things away. My kitchen is Finally Finished with countertops and sink. And I'm so ready to get things moving. Feeling Stuck and Stagnate doesn't do my mind very good. So watching your video. Do a butt Whoop whoop as I get to rearranging my kitchen! 💝
Love your videos 💝
My problem is I forget the path I was on yesterday. Then I get frustrated. So I found out I need to write everything down to do.
I was actually standing up organizing my artsupplies, but I did a little dance with a smiley face and now the pile of clothes to fold in my bedroom isn't as scary as it was just a minute ago ❤️
I'm going for it!
For me … I just have to watch any cleaning videos on utube .. I don’t no the science behind it but it works every time
I stood up after watching the whole episode. Enough is enough! I deserve clean flat!
YES YOU DO! GET IT!
@@Clutterbug I did clean my flat:) not perfect, but it's a major progress for me to have all rooms cleaned:)
I actually already knew about the trick of saying "I get to" instead of "I have to." And I actually did it earlier this morning! I'm trying to remember to do it more often. Oh, and btw, you blow Tony Robbins out of the water with your motivating skills! ✨
❤❤ love, love your comparison !!😂
Exactly what I thought 🙌😊❤️
The "I get to..." rephrasing tip got me through my lumpectomies and radiation with optimism and grace. I highly recommend it.
I actually was watching this when I took a break from cleaning and organizing our kitchen and cleaning it. Even with the physical problems I have I try to keep myself motivated to do them, its a lot right now because we are taking care of my father-in-law and there is a lot of stuff accumulated every where in the house and trying to organize and declutter is a hassle, Dad is wanting everything out and visible and is a lot of clutter. I like everything is its place with a few things out on the counters that are used everyday but like things put out of the way when not using them. It's a small kitchen with very little counter and cabinet space, but I'm making it work for me since i cook most of the time - Bri
YES! I got up and put clean sheets on my bed! Less than 15 minutes and I will sleep better tonight! Thank you, Cass!
I really needed the motivation & I can see that I'm not alone in this either! I started by creating 3 document lists on my laptop, titled State (getting excited), Story (getting motivated), & Strategy (cleaning check list). In Strategy, I listed each room & a check list under each room for what needs done. 🤔I also decided to take pictures of each room once they're to my liking, then use them as part of my 'State' list to help myself see the end results. AND, to help me stay motivated while cleaning (& move faster) I decided to put my cell phone on record & create my own cleaning video. Now when my husband comes home & say's "what did you do all day??" We can laugh together as I show him my video in a fast-motion effect! 🤣
Wow, you go girl! Thank you so much for sharing your personal method with us ❣️ You have inspired me!
Awesome ! 👍😊
What a great idea!! Thank you!
I’m inspired as well!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Haaaaa..the crickets!!! Omg!! 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
I like Tony Robbins. I didn't stand up to join you. Lol. I'm so tired. I was cleaning this morning...yay...and cooking, too. But I might try the woohoo thing another time. Thanks for sharing🤗
“I tuned out “, 😂😂😂😂I love your honesty!
You are hilarious. I was trying to break through letting my house slide back into chaos after cleaning it a few days ago and this helped fortify my resolve. Your getting locked out while naked cleaning story is still my favorite.
You are the best, Cass! You are so so relatable. I’m off my ADHD/anxiety meds (long story) and EVERYTHING is extra hard. I deserve a clean house, indeed! Thank you
I was passively watching this as I'm in bed but whenever I see someone on RUclips speed cleaning THAT gets me motivated which is why I watch them all the time 😆
I breathed deeply and felt your words. Got out of bed and cleaned my wardrobe after 2 years
I got up and cleaned a part of the kitchen counter that was flooded with delayed decision clutter. I feel amazing! :-) Thanks Cass!
You took a great burden off of me when you explained that bees will wait for the perfect system to get organized, and will be paralyzed when they have too much stuff. It's like as soon as I heard that, I didn't feel alone anymore. You've given me the motivation to purge and to get moving. Not perfect, just progress.
Thank You!
Crickets especially!
I got up, put the dishes away and washed the dirty ones by hand. My house has been so much cleaner, simpler, and more organized since watching your videos. No extra stuff! It's been a great feeling donating things I don't use to charity.
Now I understand why it is easier to help someone else clean, because we know they deserve a clean house.
You deserve a clean house too!
Very insightful. But we deserve a clean house, same as anyone else. We DO!
Thank for being so relateably human. I did some whoops while sitting down. Not sure that counts. The science/psychology is sound though so I’m going to stand up and try some more. Keep it up. Gives me hope when I see you having to get motivated. I was not born with the clean gene and it’s a struggle.
I wasn't born with it either...It's a struggle for me too, but it's getting easier. I don't think I'll ever stop looking for hacks to make cleaning my house enjoyable.
Sitting whoops count! It's like practise for the real thing.
@@thatswhatisaid8908 😂👍Your statement was a motivator right there! And a smile maker!!
Thanks Cass. I needed to hear this today. I need to lose weight and had just watched a Ted talk in it. Then I watched your video. I am using the TR technique on losing weight. I deserve to be healthy and happy. I am putting together a plan. Each time I feel like cheating myself I’m going to stand up and cheer on how excited I am about what I will look and feel like as I lose that extra weight.
Rooting for ya!
I've just started SW and we can do this! I'm rooting for you x
What a good idea! I will do this too!
Woohoo you have this 🙌
so true
At 6:00 AM I decided I wasn't going to do workout. At 6:30 AM after watching your video; I'm up and starting my workout. Thanks Cas!
I plan on watching this video often to learn to get motivated. Right now through, I have a sweet, snuggly cat on my lap and I ain’t moving for nothing! 🐈🐈⬛
Wow! This was great! I really need things like this to change my mindset (story) from complaining to something positive and grateful feeling... makes such a HUGE difference! I did it! I got up, did the woot woot and said out loud "I deserve a clean house!" I feel motivated and ready to do it! It really works!!! I'm also going to put on some good music to keep it going! 😀 Thank you Cass, I really needed this today!
Omg, I CAN'T STAND the sound of crickets! You have the craziest things happen to you! 🤣
I'm off to clean! Have a great day!
I loved the segment at the end about the crickets 😂😂😂 you have a speaking style very similar to me and it makes me feel validated seeing how expressive you are about the crickets! My husband has 2 leopard geckos and I hate when it’s “cricket day” because our living room sounds like a friggin summer picnic for 3 days afterwards until they eat them all. If they all got loose I’d probably just burn my house down.
I did stand up when you said to change your state and I did find it helpful to do a quick kitchen tidy after lunch!
Thank you so much I am motivated to clean my house. I have you on a loop. My mom passsd away 9 months ago and she was 75 and a clean freak. When she was alive I kept my home in tip top shape. Now that she's gone I had no motivation for months. I just finished my kitchen and now in my bedroom putting away all my clean clothes. Thank you so much also today is my birthday 3/28/2024.❤❤❤
Haha... I half way through this video, stopped it, put it back to the start and made my kids watch it... they are now cleaning their rooms. Love it. Thank you Cass.
Haha, that's brilliant! Well done!
I cleaned the bathroom before I watched this. I'm trying to put my baby down for a nap so I didn't get up and get excited. But I was thinking this would really work with helping me get excited about a family reunion I don't want to go to for my husband's family. Thank you for the encouragement.
I stood up, did my happy dance, and got moving. And you know what? You’re right - I DO deserve a clean table to come to relax at for the end of the day! And now I have it :) Thanks!
On of the things that helps me to clean is having a picture on my fridge of every room in my house cleaned. It definitely gets me motivated to clean
My favorite thing to do is listen/watch cleaning videos like this while I clean
Thank you!!! Amazing!
I tried this with my kiddos as well and it even helped them get dressed and ready for the day without any issue 🤯.
I'm actually up on my feet right now ironing shirts for my husband - I was in a minor car accident last week and too achy to tackle Mount Ironmore but I'm doing just a little at a time because I NEED a tidier sewing room and this pile is in my way of projects!
I read years ago about changing how you phrase things. I changed housework to home caring. As I did the dishes (didn't have a dishwasher back then) I would tell myself that I was caring for my dishes. It works!
It worked surprisingly. my room is pretty clean now
This works for relationships (instead of repeating the negatives to yourself) It works for anxiety. If your pulse is increased, you become anxious and it is a vicious cycle. That is why breathing exercises and meditation helps.
Actually got up off my favorite spot on the couch and participated. My husband walked in and thought I’d lost my mind, but I didn’t care. I needed this today. Thanks ❤️
Oh, and it’s kind of gross, but I found out by accident that the old fashioned “Roach Motels” catch crickets too. My first apartment we put a couple under the sinks and forgot about them until we moved out a year and a half later and found a bunch of crickets in them 😳
I got up and jumped up and down, went “woo! I get to clean this living room! Yes!” and now my heart is pumping and I’m getting this living room clean.. I am so excited about it! Faking it til I make it!
I did get up and I did a little dance and it felt good and I did feel motivated. It really does work. I started saying "I deserve a clean house, I deserve a DECLUTTERED house!" and I actually felt inspired and motivated!
Woohoo!
I was proud of myself because I always do what you called the state and strategy. Some time ago I started clapping my hands and giving some positive words to coworkers to get them going....and it worked. I guess I already feel the story since I am usually pretty motivated, especially with decluttering, organizing and getting things done. Thanks Cass. I just knew the crickets got loose as soon as you said you put them all in the habitat. You keep me laughing 🙈
I was already up because I was watching this while making dinner, but I stopped what I was doing and went through a little metal bucket full of metal things that somehow got water in it. I knew a fair amount was rusty, but I'd been putting it off for days. It took me two minutes to go through it and salvage what I could and toss the rest! ❤️
I heard someone mention that we should be grateful for dirty dishes because we have food to eat. I remind my friend of that when she complains about doing dishes. I’ll send this video to her.
I’m not feeling well today, so I didn’t stand up. But I probably would have if I felt better. Great info!
I just want to say that joy is NOT embarrassing! Its One of the many sweetnesses of life
I did not get up and do the things but that's just because I'm watching this while at work haha. But I'm going to watch this again later at home! ❤️
YES!!! Thank You Cas!!! I'm up! I'm dancing! I'm cleaning! You ROCK!!!! Instead if thinking what it's like to clean and feeling overwhelmed, I'm thinking what it will feel like once it IS cleaned and I can enjoy it and THAT is motivating!!! WOW!! Just looking at something differently is MOTIVATION!!! YOU are my MOTIVATION and I am SO GRATEFUL for YOU Cas!!! THANK YOU!!!
I did it! I joked with my kids, and we charged around affirming our faith that we can clean the house! It was fun, we got a fair bit done
I'm in the hospital waiting room and I'm motivated to tackle the house when I get home!
I sat through the whole video. It was the last RUclips video in my playlist for the morning. I'm turning on an audiobook and cleaning for an hour now.
Cas: “I need you to stand up wherever you’re watching this.”
Me: I’m in my car.
It works. My dogs thought it was party time. I got up shouted and moved around. Immediate got motivated to clean my kitchen. TY
I watch your videos while I’m cleaning… Right now I’m folding laundry.. You truly are a motivation! 🙌🏼☺️ Thank you for all you do Cas. 💛
I was already up. And instead of clapping or woo-ing, I did the facial expressions and hand gestures I would do if receiving a glowing compliment in the tidiness of my home. It worked in that I did the things and it didn’t feel miserable. Thanks!
that's even more powerful!
Yes Cass you had me Iboxing like a prize fighter heading in the ring for the win!!! 😀Tony does say that your physical state help to dictate our mental state . So feeling depressed with hunched shoulder s vs being upright shoulders back and walking confidently- does make a difference. Thanks for the reminder!!
I watched while having lunch, but I did get up and get my duster for after lunch break. Win-win because getting moving after a meal helps keep blood sugar balanced. :)
The science-y thing of tricking your brain by moving your body really works! 🤓 I used to teach telephone skills to admin. assistants, and one of the most impactful practices was to SMILE the whole time you're on the phone. When your mouth makes the smiling shape your brain thinks you're happy (even if you're not) and the customer on the phone with you really does perceive you as more pleasant and helpful if you're smiling. Makes sense that dancing about cleaning works the same way! 😊
Thank you Cass-Robbins 😊, I was already standing to hear your motivation: Strategy, Story, and State. Every week I remember that we all can do and manifest everything when we believe it for ourselves 👍🏼
I have rewatched this video multiple times when I need a boost in motivation! I do it along with you!!
It is worth your time to watch this video until the end!
I loved the cricket story!
I finished washing the dishes an hour ago, but I did pause your video and went to clean the bathroom floor. I think I'll watch the video again tomorrow and try the woo-wooing, too. Thanks!
Ok. This helped me sooo much today! My family is FINALLY recovered from a cold that lingered too long and I've been in a slump! This totally helped me speed clean my house before making dinner! Thanks, lady!❤️
I love it! Yes, Cas,I actually stood up! Unfortunately, what usually happens in my case is that one of my five kids came in to talk to me, so I lost track of the video lol. I got back to it and listened to your message, and I have to say again, I love it. This is something that I've already developed through you and the other organizing cleaning type channels that I follow, I love thinking that I'm giving myself a clean house. I used to complain about housework, but now I love it :-)
After note-- lol, being that my brother was allergic to everything with fur, we had snakes and lizards and things like that as pets when I was young. So there were a lot of crickets in our house :-)
It worked! I got up and opened the blinds to give my living room sunlight. Now I'm cleaning! Still feeling down but will play some music. Thanks
You're welcome!
Didnt think this would work and honestly felt so stupid for even looking this up but you are fantastic, you make me feel so positive and powerful you are such a bright light God bless you.
Lol...you are so funny with your stories...I love it! I'm working on a new bedroom/craft room for myself and it has to be perfect so that means a lot of prepping before painting and decorating, ugh. I have been at it for two weeks now. I don't want to work on it sometimes, but have been doing the steps you mentioned to get me motivated and it always works! I have chronic pain and other things that need my attention so am only able to work on the room 2-3 hours per day. I'm almost at the finish line. Today I will be done with painting, then I clean and start decorating tomorrow. I always tell my grown children to change their mindset when they need motivation as that has always worked for me. Also, don't let others dictate your mood as that can also affect your motivation. TFS
I’m willing to try this 😃, but I didn’t get up as I have fibromyalgia and I’m having a bad day so energised excitement was never going to happen. I will try a change of mindset when I attempt to sort through my piles of clutter. Thanks Cas. Good luck with the crickets. Perhaps you could use them as props when you next do one of your cricket organising videos 😁
Nothing embarrassing about self affirmation! I always use this too!💝😊
I got up! I rearranged my living room and then vacuumed the whole thing. I’d been procrastinating for weeks! Thank you!!
I saved it for later as I was doing bookwork (that I had been avoiding) You ALWAYS cheer me up.
I got up and did an excited dance then ran to the bathrooms with a rag and spray cleaner and cleared and sprayed the counters and sinks. My 5 year old daughter saw the excited dance and ran in with me and asked if she could clean the counters. I grabbed a 2nd rag and we cleaned the counters and sinks together 😁 I will be using this method a lot more often 😁
I tend to be pretty laid back, so I didn't jump up and down or anything, but I took a deep, pretend-satisfied sigh and smiled, and by golly, I was motivated! I had been struggling to get motivated to do even a single surface... but after that, and saying that I deserved to have a clean house, I got the living room clean (including the tops of things), got a load of dishes going, and I am having lots of deep, actual-satisfied sighs and smiles as I sit in the clean. :) So thank you very much! Life changing!
I’m already living for the vacuum cleaner dance, and the video just started.
I watched passively as I am currently at a restaurant, waiting for my takeout dinner.. it appears I'm like your bearded dragon as well since I took the easy way out with food today 😅. But I loved the message and I saved your video onto my "minimalism / decluttering / cleaning" playlist so that I remember to go back to it on Friday 😊
I've watched this before, but I wasn't home then. Here I am on a day off, thinking it's a perfect day to get some serious cleaning done, but not, you know, feeling like it. So I came back to this video, for a refresher on what I needed to do, think, and maybe say (to myself) to get going. As soon as I got up, I started going. Paused for a fist pump, but this made a huge difference. Thank you, Cass!
Yay! Thank you so much! We had such a messy kitchen after the weekend. We had a party and then i was out all day Sunday and Monday so today was the day to clean! Buuuuut.... I have had 0 motivation. I had to go out in the morning with all my kids and when I got back I crashed on the couch with my phone (after I put the kids to sleep for a nap). Then I saw this video! I absolutely got up when you told me to! And I absolutely danced around like a crazy gal! But you're right, it instantly made me want to start tidying! I tidied the loungeand then put some rubbish away. Then when you started cleaning, I did too! Did half my dishes but the rest won't fit on the dish rack so I get a break😉
I feel so much better about myself and my home, thank you!
I got up and made the motions. Now I'm going to go and change my sheets and straighten the bedroom.
You are a great teacher, Cass! I didn’t get up and do it…yet! But I will! But I thought of using this with my students to help them be motivated! Thanks for sharing!!
I had already moved into the kitchen when you started. I started gathering my surface cleaners and soon I had wiped down my disgusting fridge and cleaned the rubber gasket all the way around.
I’m a teacher too and I thought the same thing! 💕
This is great and what a good idea to use it with students!
As a retired teacher, let me say, "It REALLY does work!!!" You need to make a commitment to do it everyday. Even when things are difficult, others can see and feel your excitement. It's kind of like "catching" a yawn, it's passed on without understanding why. Someones attitude is typically the most difficult thing to addjust because it take their involvement. If we can show excitement and encourage all attempts with new or difficult things, it can help us persevere. With some guidance, failure/mistakes will loose their power by considering them simply another opportunity to learn through the process. That's when we discover the most amazing things! Cas, I appreciate the enthusiasm and reminders you provide! Thanks! You GO girl!!
I wasn't planning to actually do it, but watching this video got me up and tidying my room! Thanks Cass 😊
I passively watched but I almost always clean after and I’m working toward cleaning during. You are SO dang funny though I adore your openness it makes me feel like I can do what I need to have what I want. If nothing else you always lift my mood more than I expected or thought would happen from watching someone talk about cleaning 😂. The editing, music, and pace of this video (well like all your videos lol) is compelling to make me feel what you feel. I love it and am thankful for you!
Aw, thank you for the kind words!
I can testify that this works! Tony Robbins changed my life. I pd money for cassette tapes and listened to them on the way to work. Best money I ever spent.
This video came up at the perfect time! I’m sitting on the couch debating to get up and organize my pantry items or not! Now I’m feeling motivated!
I watched on a cleaning break...company's coming! That's often my motivation for doing the extras. Sometimes I deliberately plan a gathering because it always gets me going. Oh, and I LOVE your stories at the end. After I watched this, I noticed the one entitled "My Worst Nightmare Has Come True!" and I thought, "How can anything be worse than a house full of crickets?" 😳What can I say Cas...you aren't called ClutterBUG for nothing 😂
I am watching this a year after you posted. Trying to get myself motivated to clean my house and clear some stuff from my house this (4 day) weekend. I came up with a plan and then found this video. Plan to start the day with this tomorrow. It did get me up and in the kitchen, so at least the dishes are done. I checked it off the list. 😅❤
