Fixing stuff around yourself

Life is always a mess in every aspect whether it is your life at home or at work and we have to work actively and constantly to mend it and make it look “aesthetic”, which gives us a sense of organization in life. Human beings innately love patterns and if there is a pattern in our life, we suddenly start to love our life more and more.

Out of all the mess, my room is particularly a mess with things scattered here and there. A perfect boy’s room. This morning when i woke up, i decided to clean it up, straighten the bed sheet and just in addition to getting that feeling of organization at the start of the day which i know was going to keep my rest of day in somewhat a pattern, i was also going to please my mom with it.

So here is a picture of my room when i woke up and it was all a mess:

Then I decided to put away my laziness and do the task at hand and I started cleaning my room. It took me almost 5–10 minutes to do the task at hand although I was expecting more time but i am very much glad with the results and I am happy to show the results:

My reflections at the “Fixing”:

“Fixing” in this case refers to any task which is done in order to serve yourself if the task is related to you and serve the community if the task transcends you. In my case, it was personal, it gave me immense satisfaction and pleasure and made me realize that I have more control over my life. Only I can fix it. One of the indications of being in comfort zone is that we feel that we are in control of our life but to get out of our comfort zone and validate the fact is the real deal and it gives us an opportunity to ponder over our life and work on the ways to improve it. It made me realize that if i can do this, i can certainly do more and get to my goals.

My mom was both happy and surprised a bit because it is not something which I normally do. There was a smile on her face which made me glad also.

I was thinking that this task would be “just another task” but it came out to be so much more in the end and gave me self realization.
