It’s OK to admit it. We’ve all been there. There are moments or days (Dare I say weeks?) when cleaning house is the last thing you want to do.
When I am not feeling motivated, I will set the timer for 15 minutes and clean as quickly as I can. I have the kids do this as well and give them a specific goal to work on, not just “clean”. They love to watch me race through the house like a banshee and I get a good little workout in the process.
When my kids were tiny and attached to me, the TV was my friend. I would clean during commercials.
I have a channel on my computer for music that is called “Kickin’ Christian”. It helps me keep my energy up when cleaning. We play it LOUD!
I often take the time that I clean to pray for those who God brings to my mind. I also give thanks for the floors I sweep, the clothes I wash, the dishes I clean. There are so many who don’t have what I often take for granted.
