🧘‍♀️ Gentle Cleaning Ritual Checklist“Caring for My Space, Not Perfecting It”
🌼 BEFORE YOU CLEAN (Grounding – 1–2 minutes)☐ Sit quietly for a moment☐ Hand on heart or stomach☐ Say/think:
“I’m safe. I choose to begin slowly.”“Small steps are enough. I don’t need to finish.”
🧹 CLEANING SESSION (5–10 mins max)☐ Choose one small zone only (e.g. shelf, chair, drawer)☐ Set a timer (5 or 10 minutes)☐ Begin gently — no rushing☐ Stop when the timer rings, even if you feel like continuing
🧺 SAFE MESS ZONE☐ Use a tray, box, or basket for:
Items you’re unsure about
Temporary “thinking” clutter
☐ Say to yourself:
“This is not a failure zone. It’s where I give myself space to decide later.”
🧠 AFTER CLEANING (Debrief – 2 mins or less)☐ Sit and take 3 deep breaths☐ Ask yourself:
How do I feel now

What part of me resisted

What helped me move through
