A little throwback! 🩵 I came across a quote by James Clear that really resonated with me, and I wanted to share it with you all because I think it’s something many of us can relate to!

“Focus on your likes, not your wants... You may not want to wake up early, but you like the calm beauty of the morning. Wanting is the desire you feel before doing something. Liking is the satisfaction you feel after doing something. Let your likes guide you.”

On this particular week featured in the journal spread, we focused on deep cleaning our home as we were expecting some important guests, and this quote felt so relevant. It was exhausting haha, but being in such a fresh and tidy space afterwards felt incredibly rewarding. It’s such a great reminder that the sense of accomplishment often outweighs the initial hesitation, and I just wanted to share this in case it’s helpful for you too ☺️

Stationery used:

◌༘ A Tidy Home Sticker Sheet

◌༘ Belly Full of Joy Sticker Sheet

◌༘ Mini Gingham Deco Sticker Sheets

◌༘ Mind Wave Landscape Clear Tape

◌༘ Ivy Snow In the Forest PET Tape

... Read moreCleaning can often feel like a chore, but it doesn't have to be overwhelming. By shifting your focus from what you want to do, such as avoiding tasks, to what you genuinely like, you can transform the experience. Enjoying the calm beauty of a tidy space can outweigh the initial reluctance. One effective strategy is to set small, achievable goals during your cleaning sessions. Break tasks down into manageable chunks. For instance, rather than committing to a full day's cleaning, dedicate just 20-30 minutes to tackle a specific area. Another helpful tip is to incorporate enjoyable activities alongside your cleaning routine. Play your favorite music or listen to an engaging podcast while you work. This approach makes the process less daunting and more enjoyable. Plus, rewarding yourself with a break or a treat once you accomplish a task can reinforce positive behavior. You may also find inspiration from friends or social media to ignite your motivation. Sharing your progress in community forums can foster accountability and support, while discovering creative stationery tools can enhance your journaling experience. For example, stationery brands like Mind Wave or various sticker sheets can add a personal touch to your journaling, making the process even more fulfilling. Remember, the ultimate goal is to create a space that feels warm and welcoming. By embracing the likes that arise from cleanliness, you will cultivate a more peaceful living environment that encourages relaxation and creativity.
