Clean your room, Bucko!

Talk To Nishant

You come back from a hard day at work; you need to unwind – In front lies your messy life in visual cues. An unkempt bed; litter in the corners; clothes scattered all around; your dirty, stinking socks proudly hoisted on your study table; half burnt cigarettes decoratively cover your floor – the poster on the wall screams; You can do it – Believe in yourself. What do you think would happen next? Do you think you can work on making your dreams come true; in this god-awful setup? The answer you are looking for is yes; but the truth is – NO. Before you even start planning to work on your business project; that unfinished novel; your journey as an Instagram influencer; your guitar riffs; your first YouTube video; your digital marketing agency; asking your crush out on a date – CLEAN YOUR ROOM, Bucko! I meet countless youngsters who are self- driven and want to drive a positive change in the world. They are extremely radical in their thoughts and aware of the inadequacies in the world around them. My only advice to them is before you even conceptualize an idea, about changing the world, change the immediate surrounding around you. Tidy your messy room! Your personal space, i.e. your room/workspace – is an extension of your individuality. It is your room and you are responsible for it. You are responsible for your life and you are responsible for your room. You cannot sort your life without sorting out your room first. Your messy room is just a projection of your messy brain. You want to take control of your mind; get your life in order – start with the easiest step. Clean your room. Taming your mind is an extremely challenging, never ending task. Cleaning your room would only take few hours. Our brains rely heavily on visual aids. The moment it traces streaks of chaos around – it would want to go all berserk. It would give you all the incorrect ideas – Light a doobie; drink whiskey; watch porn – and go to sleep. You are feeding the wrong impulses. If your brain would sense order around you – it would be forced to make peace with the deviancies and then you can start working on your vision.
