Fixing stuff around yourself

‘’Cleanliness is the half of the faith.”

When we talk about changing ourselves, it should start with our home.

I was working on my laptop while sitting on my bed. I had been working consecutively for 3–4 hours. I needed a break. Therefore I took a break and went through my schedule that l had planned for my day.
While going through my list of tasks that I have to do in a day, I choose the one that will be the beginning of a change in my personality.
I’ll clean a place that I have in my mind for so long but couldn’t get the time to do it.

This year I decided to improve myself. Therefore today, l take the initiative to change myself. I looked around my surroundings and tried to locate any place that needs cleaning and organization.

I found my rack that contains all my art supplies. I am a Graphic Designer, and I had so many art collections in my room. I do a lot of manual work in my field like sketching, drawing and painting, etc.

But the problem is I haven’t used them for a month because our manual work is on pause and we had to do all the work digitally. Now I use all the colors and paints for my fun activities. Owing to hectic routine, I stopped painting as well.

I haven’t used my art supplies for a month, and now they have dust on them, and they all scattered on the rack.

So I decided to organize them. I throw the things that are waste in the trash can. I removed all irrelevant stuffs from that rack and put them in their actual place. Then I wiped off all the dust from the shelf and art collections.

I rearranged them into the rack accordingly. After cleaning up, I feel a sense of calmness and satisfaction because this is the work that is in my mind for so long if I haven’t put it on the list of task that is to be done l will not be able to do it for the time being or if I haven’t taken the decision maybe it’ll prolong.

As I know, these were my belonging, and I was the one responsible for them regarding their cleanliness. But If we don’t prioritize anything or give attention to our surroundings, maybe we are mistreating something unintentionally.

To change yourself start with the small goal that is pending for so long. Usually, my mother always told me to organize messy things. But this time, she did not because she knows l have a lot of work pressure.

Here I came to know that you don’t need any authority over you to do any work whether it’s big or small. You can be your leader. You are capable of doing anything. A person with a growth mindset can bring a drastic change in his/her personality within a short time.
