Clean up your fucking living space!

Seriously.
Why does cleaning your home help you IMPROVE YOUR LIFE?

Every time.

What is this insanity everyone is talking about?
1. When you clean and tidy up you assert physical CONTROL.

Your space is your kingdom.

If you can't control that, what can you ever control?

Cleaning your room, kitchen, basement gives you a DIRECT and IMMEDIATE experience of control.

You're in charge!
2. When you clean, you get to throw things in the dump.

Critical step to getting the top mental payoff.

Take the garbage out!

Literally & figuratively.

The release is immediate & visceral. Infants take CONTROL for the first time by throwing away, breaking & "losing" things.
3. Every time you clean, you end up practicing DIRECTED ATTENTION.

If you're glued to your dumbphone, you need this.

When you're tidying up a space, your attention moves across different physical tasks

BUT

with a singular systematic goal - organize things in a certain way.
When you use DIRECTED ATTENTION to get a result you want, you are TAMING CHAOS.
4. You overcome OUTCOME PARALYSIS.

99% of people live in total misery.

Because attached, fixated, dependent on the result.

They won't accept that outcome independence gives you godlike POWER.

They just won't let go and WIN.

But ANYONE can get an easy win by mowing the lawn.
5. You take your Mind to its native home.

You can't clean while rolled up in bed depressed.

Mind is of movement and when you clean, you have to MOVE.

You might even crack a window and get some AIR.

You improve your mental health through physical action.
The stereotype of the creative mind is the chaotic art studio.

Woo-woo nonsense for the lo-awarenes mass.

Creativity you engineer deliberately.

Into your environment, into your Mind.

Sign up and level up.
