Hey guys, this is Jessica Gutierrez with Clean With Me podcast. This is a podcast where I walk you through cleaning your house step by step. So let's clean together.

Hey everybody. So I decided to go live today because I tried to do a podcast last night and my phone started glitching and I did like half of it and it deleted it and it was already late.

So I was like, okay, I'm already a day late.

So I'm just going to go ahead and go live tomorrow.

This is my first live um I have two

babies as you guys already know a three year old and a one year old and they are awake right now

very brave of me to be doing this while they're awake but we're in the backyard so you might hear

some background noise um I just cleaned my house not fully I do have a lot more to do. So I'm just

going to go through what I'm going to do today, what I've already done today. And, um, it's going to be

a normal cleaning walk through, just a little bit different. And, uh, so let's get to it. You guys,

go ahead and motivate yourself. do whatever you do to motivate yourself

for me like I've mentioned before it's if I get ready first thing in the morning and if I you know

sit around on my phone when I first wake up then I lose all motivation and I'm pretty much useless. So if I get up, if I get ready,

if I get the kids ready, make breakfast right when I wake up and don't pick up my phone and start

watching videos, then I'm usually pretty productive. So that's what works for me. Also, you know, my mom always said light a candle. Also, for me, if I open the windows, that usually helps me get motivated when, um, I let some light in my house because I don't have a very well lit house and light and, you know, the weather and stuff really does affect your mood and your mood affects your cleaning.

Because I know when I'm having, you know, a bad day or a rough day, I don't get as much cleaning done.

And then it's like a, you know, I've talked about this before.

It's like a vicious cycle because if you're not feeling well then you know your house ends up

suffering and then you start getting more upset and depressed because your house looks like

poop so you know it's a it's a cycle and I mentioned before that I was in a funk um in the episode, I was talking about how I was in a funk and I really just got behind on my housework. And that's why I didn't do a podcast because I was super behind on my housework. And I just didn't, you know, want to be hypocritical. And I just didn't really feel like I could motivate adequately.

But my friend helped me and, you know, reaching out for help is important.

And she helped me and I got motivated.
