Do You Hear Negative Voices?

Written by Caitlin

Topics: Trial & Error

Today’s FlyLady tip (#5) threw me for a bit of a loop.

I’m supposed to write down all the things the “nagging, negative voices” in your head say, and then write down positive things to counteract them.

Negative voices?? What negative voices?

Now, I know full well that they don’t mean actual voices. They mean negative thoughts you have yourself.

Still, do they mean negative thoughts related to clutter? Or in general?

I don’t really think I have “nagging, negative voices” relating to clutter floating around in my head. The most negative thing I can think of at the moment is “Gee, this place is embarrassing, I should do something about it”. Even that’s not particularly negative, because I am trying to do something about it. That’s the whole point of this blog. ;)

It makes me ask the question, though. Do you experience negative thoughts related to your clutter problem? Please share your experiences!

    I am going through the BabySteps and ran into the same problem. I don’t know what to write! I googled “Flylady negative voices,” to get ideas, and that’s how I ended up here!

    The best I’ve got is, “I wish this place were cleaner so I could have friends over sometimes.”
