Motivate me!

Stewartandmaura

I need to get off my lazy azz and get some housework done today.

Please help me get motivated. What do you do to motivate yourself to get going in the morning?

I try to get everything done early so I can have time to relax later in the day when I am most tired. Thinking of some couch time with a good book gets me motivated to get the housework out of the way!

nothing is motivating me right now either- and with the muscle pains in my chest and now being sick I am just bumming it on the couch! lol

I have a lot to do also. I woke up early and packed DH his lunch as I am off today. But now the nausea is hitting and i just want to stay in bed. So I will be watching movies and napping. Maybe laundry and house work tonight.

Good luck! The only housework I accomplished in the first ten weeks was laundry and loading the dishwasher. Ugh- every day I looked at the house and was disgusted, but I just couldn't bring myself to do it. This Saturday was the first time I had enough energy to tackle how filthy the house had become. But man, I cleaned like I was on meth! And now, my house smells good and I don't feel disgusted in it. I guess, do what you have to do to survive until you get more energy as you get closer to the second trimester. Don't worry, it will get done- even if you have to reach your snapping point before you do it.

Sometimes when I need a little something to get going at work in the morning, I watch this video, which always serves as a great pick-me-up.

If that doesn't give you a feel-good kick to get going, you could try a supportive approach to motivation with cleaning inspiration through positive affirmations; alternatively, video clips of hoarders always makes me feel that I have to clean my house.

I was having the same problem this morning. I really needed to clean my house but just wasn't feeling it. Then, DS found a wad of dog hair on the floor and brought it to me. Yep, that got me going. So gross...
