“Perhaps the reason you resist and rebel against tidying up is that you think you are bad at it. Maybe you associate it with failing, so you avoid doing it. It takes only minutes to tidy up the dinner dishes, and you can still have lots of time to play with the kids or do something fun. Maybe the truth is that you know you are a great mom, so you would rather do things that you know you are good at and make you feel good about yourself.
Always thought I was bad at tidying up and told myself I didn't really care if things were messy. NOT the case. What other lies do we tell ourselves in order to fuel avoidance?
