8 Steps To Motivate You To Clean Your Room

Have you ever wanted a really clean room but have no motivation to get out of your bed and shut off Netflix? Here are some tips to get you inspired and out of that bed!

1. Get Comfortable

No body wants to clean in tight jeans and a dress shirt. Opt for some sweats and tank or shorts and a big T-shirt.

2. Turn Up the Volume

Turn on some of your favorite jams and just rock out. Nothing too slow or melodic though-- You want to be pumped up!

3. Set a Goal

Rome wasn't built in a day, so allow yourself time to get things done. Start out with a goal. Example: "I just want to clean today and not worry about organizing until tomorrow."

4. Set Up a Time Frame

Along with a goal, setting a time frame makes a huge impact on how your bedroom will look. I give myself about an hour and a half worth of cleaning time. You may want to alter your time based on what your room looks like and how distracted you get.

5. Bring a Friend Over

Having a friend sitting on my bed, entertaining me while I clean always helps me get the job done, and it doesn't feel like so much of a chore.

6. Reward Yourself

Promise yourself a nice bath or a shopping trip if you clean your room efficiently.

7. PINTEREST

I cannot express how much looking at rooms on Pinterest inspires me to clean or organize my room. Look for different ideas and styles. Pinterest even has print outs for room organization!

8. Step Back and Reflect

When I just sit in my dirty room and look around, I realize how bad it makes me feel. Seeing how gross my room is inspires me to make a change and get up immediately.

When I look at my completed room, it gives me a sense of achievement and tranquility. It brings me peace and often times helps me remember to keep my room looking sharp!

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
