Its time for people to get off social media....no IG, no FB....nothing that makes you feel like you have to compare yourself and life.
I stopped comparing finally and it’s liberating
💯. I've never seen so much of this as I have now. Maybe it's always been around but with social media you see it alot.
When you said “when I’ve lost the house, I’ve lost myself”…wow, that resonates with me so deeply. Thank you for being so transparent, you have no idea how many people you’re helping with your authenticity. Proud of you! Enjoy your vacation :)
You got this mama. Lots of us struggle thats why we love you. Gods got you. Just breathe.
Kristen you may have forgotten your long list of strengths and assets. You are warm hearted,smart, thoughtful and inspiring
I tend to do that! I have to remind myself frequently 🥰
You are honestly the most wholesome person.. I have never subbed so fast in my life when I seen your emotion in the beginning of this video. I love when you said, "don't expect perfection here, this is survival cleaning". I FELT THAT SO HARD. Not all of us have these immaculate homes with all the latest tech, upgrades, etc. It is so refreshing to see a REAL person. You did amazing, by the way.
Wow this is a fantastic clean and declutter motivation video 💪 I like so much when you film while discarding so much stuff around the house, mostly as I struggle to discard some nicer things like fashion magazines/catalogs/flyers and mostly clothes that can't be donated so I always try to see if you're getting rid of any of those things when I see you filling trash bags like that 😅 When you've mentionned that you've only needed to take out all the trash out before leaving, I was just hoping it would have been filmed too as it's satisfying to see all the clutter and trash leaving the house 🤗
Can get your boys to help you daily?
3 to clean up together for 15 mins definitely will complete faster.
One or twice a day.
First start with your dirty laundry put into wash machine.
Next wash your dishes.
Last is pick up paper or what ever to throw to rubbish bin.
Vacuum floors.
Do not make your life too hard.
Remember eat proper meal and drink water and take your medicines if you have to.
You are doing great 👍.
You did an amazing job, be proud of what you achieved ❤
The hardest part is getting up. Well, you got me up! I haven’t stopped cleaning since.
Thank you. I needed it.
Thank you 💜💜
I'm so glad I found your channel again! I too struggle with mental health issues. PTSD, severe sleep disorder, anxiety and depression so I completely understand where you're coming from. I'm so proud of you for getting up and doing what you can! Perfection is overrated! Thank you for being so brave and sharing your life with us! You're a true inspiration! ❤️
Girl you're dressed, you're UP and you seem to have gotten a shower. Work in 2 areas that you use the most? The house is a lot.
Put on some relaxing music put some essial oils or wax cubes a scent you like relax one dsy at a time😊
I just wanted to give you a hug in the beginning of this video. Rhabka fie tour real and rawness ira greatly appreciated and relatable. You did amazing!
Do it for yourself and the little ones, they need you to not be broken otherwise how will they grow up with a broken mom? Are you taking medicine to help you? If not, please do. I know many people hate taking meds especially for mental reasons but I've learned it could be the difference between a better you and a depressed, inferior and unhappy you.
You are on the right track! I get overwhelmed too (adhd) so I need to do things by category with a shorter time. 15 minutes per room but 2 minutes per category, (I use the timer on my watch so I don’t have to look at a clock and it buzzes to remind me to stop no matter where I am) 2 min collecting trash/rubbish, 2 minutes collecting dirty washing, 2 minutes sorting toys, 2 minutes clearing one surface table/couch/bed etc 2 min collecting books and paper etc. depending on the room. Once the 2 minutes is up I stop, put away whatever I’ve collected and then start the next 2 min thing on the list. And I do have a list for each room in notes on my phone, to remind me or because I forget. If I finish all the list in 15 minutes, I start again. Kitchen list a bit different, 2 min trash, 2 min fill or empty dishwasher, 2 minutes fill sink with soapy water and wash something, 2 minutes one section of the counter etc (soapy water there already to rinse cloth). Never get it all done in the 2 minutes or the whole room in 15, but it’s better than when I started. Sometimes I even take a before and after photo to prove it helped. I’m old so after each 15 minutes I stop, put the timer on for 30 minutes and rest, or watch u tube, or read. Then start the next 15. I don’t have a lot of visitors so the kitchen and sink are the first room.
Keep going, if I can still do it at 75, so can you. ❤️❤️
Some tough love. You are stronger than you ever give yourself credit for. Don't be so hard on yourself. Sending love and prayers. ❤
I turn on my music and go room to room. Set a timer. Every time you leave a room just leave with something in your hand. Clean as you go has always helped me. You go girl! You got this!
I needed this so bad today. You have no idea how much this has helped me. THANK YOU
Great job, love and always looking for another video from you. You’re doing great! Hope things will get better for you! You’re Awesome 😊❤
Hi Kristin, my heart breaks every time I see you cry, I just want to give you a big hug and tell you that your amazing and strong and beautiful. I wish I lived in America so I could come and help you. Love from Australia ❤
Omg I’m just a hot mess. In a good way! The thing is, I kept my feelings and emotions suppressed for a really long time. Now that I’m on this healing journey, my body wants to release all emotions. Some days I’m so mad that I’m like omg who I am. I was never allowed to feel mad. Or cry. Or anything really. Too emotional. Too much. Too loud. Too mean. My emotions will never be suppressed again! 🤗 I’d love a hug 🫂
I was the greatest slob in the world. Years ago on your previous YT, you was the one who put me together…. Watching you how to clean saved me for drowning. You are beautiful inside and out. I’m so thankful for you, helping me to learn how to manage a household.
This hit me so hard. Thank you. 🥰 Yours words mean everything to me. You have no idea. Let’s grow together now. 💜
I am so proud of you. You might be in survival mode but you’re doing it. Think of everything you have survived without being taught the skills on how to deal with it and now you are getting help to learn you’re worth it. Some days will be harder than others but your strength is inspiring! ❤
I think it is beautiful to see her face expression change after those first 15 min. Like the light turned back on. Hope came back. I know the feeling. Sending love
💜💜💜
Hi Kristin…. I can totally relate to you in so many ways. I put a lot of things off . I actually think if I can get up and go to work that is something. I put off my household duties alot because of my depression and anxiety and PTSD. So I know where you are coming from. You always have a friend love and hugs. We can do this together.
You got SO much done in that 15 minutes! Looks great - keep on being you. You are unique, beautiful inside and out and you are worthy of kindness, respect and love.
Wow, finally I have found a channel like yours, so real, I am in survival mood, really struggling with my life. I hope I can follow your lead. Thank you for being you, who I can relate to❤
damn girl you are a cleaning force!! well done ❤❤❤
It is amazing what 15 minutes can do! It is so encouraging to see what you can get in that time.
You did a great job . I know how it feels when the world is on your shoulders and you’re just so tired..Enjoy your weekend Kristen.
😢 i cry and cry while watching your video and related a lot especially when you said you doesnt eat so you cant make more mess. At least you have a great house i live in a rented house when rain my bedroom is full of water inside. And the rent is so high i cant pay for a great house 😢 love your channel and your cats take care
I understand your pain so much. I live it. I’m so glad you’re here. I’m renting too. I hate it. I want to buy a home more than anything. It’s been my dream since starting this channel 8 years ago. Let’s figure it all out together! 💜
You are amazing. You are brave. And girl you're getting it done. You're stronger than you think so keep it up. Also, thank you for being authentic and showing real life.
I really enjoyed watching your energy shift half way through. You did so much! I love using the timer too! Helps me take that first step knowing it will only be “X” amount of time and Keeps me from being overwhelmed with making things perfect. Sending you a virtual high five!
You did awesome! I have lived in my home for over a year and still have not fully unpacked. For some reason I'm petrified to do it. To make your job easier - before they can do their gaming our kids have to pick up their dishes, laundry, trash and random items. One kid is responsible for taking out the trash and the other the recycling.
You are a survivor of so much and you got this girl. You are struggling but you are strong x
watching again in August 2024
Thank you so so much 💟💟
When life sucks unwashed butt, it is hard to see/remember anything good. KRISTEN, YOU FREAKING ROCK! I am so inspired by you and your work! Warrior woman keep going!!
Just found your channel and I also struggle with depression. Life has been hard and my health and business has been struggling. Trying to keep afloat. Tyfs. You got this momma. I am now binge watching all of your videos. I cried when you were sad and smiled when you did ❤❤
Thank you for showing us that it's okay to have a messy house, it's okay to be overwhelmed, it's okay to need help. Thank you for humanising these struggles that are often overlooked and mostly for standing up with your words against those that judge people based on their house cleanliness, without considering the problems that person might be going through ❤️
Great job, Kristin! Definitely a mood changer!! Hope you had a good weekend!
You did it! Thanks for sharing your survival cleaning, Kristin ❤
Have a blessed week 🤗
add all of those plus GAD and OCD procrastination perfectionist....and you have me. Struggling all the time to get up out of bed and do anything for weeks at a time
❤🫶🏻🙋♀️love from Germany ❤

This is exactly what I needed today!! Thank you so much ❤❤❤
I been struggling with my mental health and my health issue lymphedema in my legs
Thats one thing i find super de-motivating, wanting to start a project but being unable to finish it
I have 2 loads of laundry to do but my mental health and my health issue lymphedema keeping me from doing it
Put on music or a channel that brings you up. I like mighty mama!!!
Brilliant. Subscribed straight away. I too am overwhelmed and feel so miserable at times, but I got up and loaded the dishwasher and cleaned the benches after watching. Thank you.
Hi Christine, when a person has a thoughts that can to have depression, so that person has to decline these thoughts. You have had been with your family more and be grateful for what you had. I’m sorry for what happened to you. God bless you
The thing is, I was depressed for a really long time. Without even realizing it. My body was in fight or flight mode. I suppressed all my emotions. Now I’m letting them flow. This is me healing ❤️🩹
This hurt my heart! Thank you for bringing raw reality to the forefront! You got this Kristen, hang in there because life can be a real…
Um dia de cada vez....
Bom dia 😘🙋🏻♀️🌼
I wanted to hug you bless you
What were you watching in the 4 minute area?
I'm immediately subscribing because I have felt this way sink 2020. You speak to my heart. My house has steadily gotten more out of control, I don't know how to begin. I am low key depressed and barely staying above water. You just inspired me.
Oh my gosh you just made me smile so big. Thank you so much. I get so anxious sharing these because I’m being incredibly vulnerable here. But they’re so validating and healing to me. New video up soon! 💜
Yes!! Finally someone saying it as it is!! My family is coming and my deadline is tomorrow 😭 my house IS A MESS! It's so hard to start and always felt horrible for it making me push it back and push it back but hearing this honestly gave me a boost to start and finish this.
Thank you so much for saying this 💟
i have so much respect for you. thank you for making this.
Wow thank you for saying this. Thank you for validating me and my story 💟
Glad to come upon your channel and thanks for being really I too struggle with anxiety and depression, and it’s hard to get motivation in life. (And I’m on medications). And to top it off I’m going through perimenopause and it’s making things harder.
There is no perfection, in fact I wish that word did not exist.
So happy you’re here!! Thanks for joining me 💜💜
Got stuck cleaning. Well not even cleaning yet. I’ve been sorting the mess in my bedroom and sorting laundry for I think at least 2 hours now. 1/4 of the time spent just standing around with a blank stare.. 5 minutes into your video as I’m having coffee and a sigaret, tears come. So I pause the video because I don’t want to cry right now and have a breakdown. But thank you for your candor. I’m going with your first tip of setting the timer for 15 minutes at a time. Then end of the day, I’m going to take a bath or do some HRV breathing exercise. Well, that’s my goal. To have a reasonably orderly and hopefully clean home and then wash off this stagnated energy off and out of myself. And maybe THEN have a cry 💆♀️❤️
TO EVERYONE: lots of love and healthy energy wished upon you 🌸
Next day: Thank you 👏
Yesterday I got finished really decluttering AND cleaning my bedroom. Beginning of the day I had made a list on my whiteboard
-bedroom ✅
-Kitchen
-hallway
-living-room 1/3 done
-toilet
-bathroom
When I made that list I really thought I was going to do that whole list in one day.
But, you know what? I slept so nicely in my clean and organized bedroom last night! It’s a WIN regardless if I wasn’t able to do what I hoped I would. And instead of just checking off my list I wrote a checkmark and yesterdays date behind ‘bedroom’ and wrote 1/3 done with the date behind ‘livingroom’ . I recalibrated where I’m at mentally. And we’ll see what I can get done today.
My bedroom was the absolute worst out of all the rooms, so..
Going to set my timer again in a few minutes, breath, put on some music and IN WE GO again ❤️
I'm 2.5 minutes in, and this is the first video of yours that I've come across, and I know that you'll be good for me. I'm excited to watch more of your real, raw, uncurated content. ❤
This made me cry! Thank you so much. My mental health is up and down right now but I’m trying to reach the upper end on a higher rotation so I can be far more present here. I have so much to share from! 💜
Kristen I miss you I’am happy your back watch Mighty Mama she is so helpful she knows what your going through go back to your prayer closet remember that your special place 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
Ok that’s it I’m finding her. Others have mentioned her too. Thanks, girl. 💜💜
What helps me when I clean is to always make sure my kitchen is clean before I go to bed. Some days are easier than others. Plus I have my kids help.also I love the timer idea. Like you said “ Do what you can.@ Depression and PTSD and anxiety are real. Take it one day at a time.
These are great tips thank you so much 💟
I like the 15 minutes at a time method. I will try that. You are not alone. I’m struggling as well. Stay strong!
Yes! Thank you!
New here. It really touchedwhen you spoke in the beginning because I've had depression and it's fucking awful
Hey, girl!!! Welcome! You know exactly what it’s like to be fighting the fight of depression then. Thank you for all the advice and encouragement. I need it! 💜💜
Truly I feel like how you are describing regularly. The two things that have helped me is remembering my identity is in Jesus alone. And getting rid of a lot of stuff so I have less to clean up ❤ sending you love ❤️
💜💜💜
You sound so like me in the way that you feel. I get so frustrated that I could just like literally scream, the house down because of my anxiety and I could literally sit all day on my couch, doing nothing, but have bad thoughts in my head. when you set that 15 minute timer and went with that that something that I’ve been trying to do is just telling myself do 15 minutes of maybe cleaning my kitchen, my bathroom or something within that 15 minute timer and think to myself I’ve done 15 minutes of something good.
It’s so hard to find that motivation. We sound so very similar. 💜
You did fantastic.
Awesome job. Enjoy vacation
I at this point right now. Everything is a mess. Things are falling apart around me. I’m working overtime to still not get everything paid. I’m depressed and my house is overwhelming. I thought my divorce would be a new start. It was the beginning of the fall. I feel a failure as a parent, a daughter, sister, aunt, a human being. But through it all. I have to start somewhere and praying God gives me strength to start and keep going like He always has. I can’t just stop like I have for the past two years. Let’s clean!!!
You are not failing no one fails in God's eyes
You are a god send. Thank you for this video. How are you feeling today?
Thank you 🙏 I’m doing okay. 💟
Kristen you are hardworking you are a great mother you always have a beautiful home 🏡 love your home in the countryside God always turn everything to our good Seek God First we have to prepare for our day early so we can handle what comes our way before we face people and have to make decisions I hope you can get a book of God’s promises and stand on God’s promises remember your prayer closet you made for your self try going back to that you are not alone 🙏🏻🙏🏻
💜💜💜💜
Sometimes, you just need to go get a pedicure, massage and a haircut!!!🥰
So true! 💜
Love Your Video
Thank you….
I.feel like S**t today yep im struggling to get off the sofa 😢 and tidy up.
It helps not feeling so alone
I know this feeling all too well 💜 I got you!
I like the 15 minute trick! I am curious though, why don't you use the dishwasher?
It’s been broken since 2 months of me living here. 😭 landlord said he’d get a new one but hasn’t 8 months of no dishwasher 🙄
my place is ultimate chaos and your video is very inspiring, thank you
I’m so glad you’re hear 💜
❤️
I hope you're seeing someone for your mental health
I have an ecotherapist and a psychiatrist. It’s been a rough one but I feel myself healing and becoming stronger every day.
My goodness. So often there. Hugs
Thank you 💟
Just simply thank you!
You’re welcome 💟
❤
😘
Hi Kristen, I needed this......I am going to go ckean, 15 minute timer. Thank You❤❤❤
Getting your motivation back and being able to listen to your body is so good! And I'm amazed at how much you got done, great job! ❤
I go through that cycle pretty often - my mental health takes a dive, and then my home is neglected because I don't have the energy or motivation. Then I get mad at myself for it, which just makes my mental health worse, and it just spirals like that until I manage to force myself to do stuff. It's exhausting and a struggle to get through, but it feels nice when it's done, even though I don't really feel proud, just kind of meh - it's a learned behaviour, due to never getting praise or being allowed to be proud. I'm working on forcing myself to do the small things every day, so it doesn't get too big and overwhelming.
Good morning Kristin! First of all, my heartfelt prayers to you my dear. I hope, with all my heart ♥️ that things get better ❤️🩹 for you. Mental illness is certainly real, and the world 🌎 can be cruel. Do not give up, things will get better 🤗
You did great! I’m here for all the motivation! Hope you had a wonderful vacation!!!
So often, having physical pain, 15 min is too long. I can’t work by a timer. Rather I work until the pain comes on, maybe a couple to 5 min at a time. I use tv commercial times.
I just use little chunks of time, when I can stand myself.
I’m also one of those, put it back where you got it from so it can be found again.
When the pain is too much to walk from point to point to put it back, piles or a bin of some sort that I can carry with me works. I believe, if we were honest, most of us work this way, just what we can do when we can do it.
You’re a beautiful person, please don’t let this world beat you down. Take time for your heart & mind.
Wonderful! I hope your weekend trip helps to make your beautiful blue eyes sparckle again.😊
Your house looks really cute and it doesn't have much stuff so it feels easy to clean!!!!
It takes alot to do what you did when you are struggling. Not only that, you shared it. You are awesome.
Кристен вы женщина, хрупкая, нежная, красивая позволяйте себе быть слабой. Пожалейте себя, полюбите себя. Шлю вам свои слова поддержки, обнимаю вас. Вы супер!
I think you are doing great if 15 minutes is all you can do and then you stop for 15 minutes then that’s ok that’s what my mom does she cleans and has to stop because of her pain and just sit for a few minutes and then goes some more how did you get diagnosed with cptsd I think that’s what you said
Sending love to you and your family 💖💖💖🌻🌻🌻
Kristin, I have been a long time follower. I LOVE how authentic you are. You make me feel like I'm not alone in this mental health battle. Truly and honestly, thank you for being so raw and real!!!!
I hate that you still struggle so much 😕🫂 you got a lot done though 👏🏼👏🏼
I prefer real life. Thank you for keeping it real. Hugs
