One of the many realizations you have as an adult is that, no matter how much work you do, there’s always more to be done. Especially around the home. Of course, having a home to care for is wonderful. But when you’re already busy and feeling like you have little to no energy left to give, working up the enthusiasm to actually tackle those tasks around your home can feel impossible.
That’s where this little trick comes in.
By shifting your to-do’s to get-to-do’s, you allow yourself to approach daily tasks with a whole lot more gratitude. And, when done with intention, these little tasks can even start to feel like SELF-CARE.
Seriously.
Ask yourself this question:
How can I make doing chores around my house feel good?
One of the simplest ways is setting a nurturing vibe. Maybe that means lighting some candles before you start vacuuming. Or, if you’re into essential oils, making a special blend for your diffuser that will help you feel good while you do good around your home.

A great go-to for creating a cozy, nurturing vibe in your home is:
-
- 5 drops lemon
- 3 drops tangerine
- 2 drops peppermint
- 2 drops nutmeg
