When life gets tough, it’s easy to feel like you can’t handle it all. It’s even easier to lose your motivation and desire to do anything when you feel like a mess.
When this happens, it can feel like nothing matters. When you wake up already feeling down, it’s hard to care about taking care of your responsibilities, your home, and even yourself. Goals, healthy habits, and self-care can seem like pointless when you’re just fed up with everything. You’re barely making it through the day!
But even on your darkest days, there are still things that matter. There are still things worth fighting for. You may not see it now, but there is still hope. Things can and will get better. Just hang on a little while longer.
If you’re stressed, negative emotions can mount until they cause a mental breakdown or anxiety attack.
If you’re overworked and pushing ahead, you’re only a few days from a burnout, which can take a long time to recover from.
If you’re eating your emotions, you’ll soon have another reason to be unhappy if you keep overeating or undereating.
If you’re neglecting your home, it becomes harder to get back in order and cleanliness the longer you wait.
We both know that this isn’t how you want to be living your life, right? It’s negative and draining, and it takes a lot of energy to keep up the act. I’m not here to judge you or anyone else who’s going through a tough time – I know how it feels all too well. It can be really tough to accept that you or your life has become so negative, but it’s important to remember that you have the power to change it. Just take things one step at a time and focus on the positive.
Have you ever felt like you’re in over your head and that things are just a big mess? We all have at some point or another – but the truth is, even the messiest life can get back to normal with a little bit of effort. This is why I KNOW that you can solve all those issues that are making you feel like a mess. And even if they’re something you can’t change, I know that you can wait them out and eventually things will get better. So don’t give up! You can do this – I believe in you!
10 Ways To Go From Mess To Success
1. Create A Daily Routine To Set Yourself On Autopilot.
When you’re feeling overwhelmed, it can be tough to motivate yourself to keep going. But having a plan and a clear list of steps to follow can make a big difference. It takes the hard part out of thinking and helps you to just go through the motions until you realize that you’ve actually accomplished something. And once you start seeing results, it’ll be easier to feel better about yourself and your situation.
2. Slowly Organize Your Home And Your Life, Step By Step.
When you feel like a mess, it’s probably because your life is a little messy too. Don’t expect to be able to fix everything in a few hours – it’ll take some time. Give yourself permission to take things slowly, and focus on taking small steps every day to get your life back in order.
3. Work On Loving Yourself And Accepting Your Flaws.
If you’re feeling like a mess, it’s probably because you’re used to thinking about yourself in negative terms. But this will only make you feel worse. Start to accept yourself for who you are, flaws and all. Once you’re able to do that, you can start working on other changes. Allow yourself to make those changes not because you hate yourself, but because you love yourself and want what’s best for you.
4. Make Time For Emotional Self-Care.
Life is often full of struggles, so it’s important to learn how to cope in a healthy and caring way. Allowing negative emotions to pile up in your head will only continue to burden you. So designate an hour every day to be with yourself, notice how you feel and what you think – sometimes just understanding that you feel sad or mad is enough to feel better. Journaling your thoughts on the paper can work wonders here.
5. Work With Strict Breaks.
Taking proper breaks is essential to preventing burnout and maintaining a healthy balance in your life. It may seem like there’s a lot to do and not enough time to do it, but if you try to push through without taking breaks, you’ll just end up making things worse. Nothing will get done if you don’t take the time to care for yourself, so make sure to take some time off every now and then to recharge.
6. Set Reminders.
To help you manage small tasks more effectively (like taking your vitamins, drinking water, or paying bills on time), set reminders on your phone. A single chime can help you stay on track more than you might imagine, and all it takes is a few minutes to create them or add them to your planner.
7. Get Rid Of Bad Habits, One By One.
It’s more manageable and effective to focus on quitting one bad habit at a time, rather than try to get rid of all of them cold-turkey all at once. This way, you won’t become overwhelmed and you’re more likely to stick to your goals. Make a plan to get rid of one bad habit each month, and eventually, all of your bad habits will be gone!
8. Slowly Incorporate Healthier Choices.
It’s the same with bad habits – trying to change your life from “unhealthy” to “healthy” all at once is very overwhelming. Incorporate small, healthy choices one by one to prevent confusion and increase your chances of becoming a healthier person.
9. Take Care Of Your Looks.
Looking like a hot mess can make you feel like one, too. I know it might sound shallow, but it’s true. A little bit of beauty care in the morning and evening will help you to feel better, just like that. So don’t feel guilty for taking time for your looks when your life is a mess! Looking good can help improve your mood, which is extremely important for you right now.
10. Make A Playlist Of Inspiring Songs.
Looking for songs that inspire motivation? Check out iTunes or YouTube for great options to get your day started on the right foot. By incorporating music that you enjoy and that speaks to you on a personal level, you can help increase productivity and stay motivated throughout the day.

There are a ton of songs out there that can help turn your motivation up. Find some that resonate with you and make sure to listen to them often while you work, work out, cook, or take walks.
