I’ve been cleaning my room since I was 10yrs, my Mother gave a prize to the cleanest room. I won every single time. Till this day as a grown women in my 50’s, my room is immaculate as well as my apartment. Thanks Mom.
Not only did I clean my room. I repainted it. I shampooed the carpets. And I bought new furniture. Now it looks like the sins of my past are all washed away!
Starting to “clean your room” can be extremely difficult when severely depressed. Finding motivation to make that first step is always the most difficult. A trick I call the “two minute rule’ that have I have used in the past few years (severe health and depression issues) that really helps for any unpleasant task such as cleaning dishes, or at tackling a neglected house/room is to tell yourself you will only do ...dishes for two minutes or clean out the junk drawer for two minutes .....the next thing you know you spent 30 minutes and the task is complete. You get on a roll and the next thing you know the whole room is clean. Give it a try for two minutes you will be surprised.
I have ADHD ,had no motivation to clean plus when I was trying to I couldn't keep things in line. I'll had to take like 5 things from my living room to the kitchen and I would take them one by one because I wasn't noticing them . I did something simililar to the two minutes , I was saying that I'm going to clean two to three disses ,the less dirty ones and after I was done with them I was like 'I did that fast so I'm going to do another one' and then another one ,and another one .. The good thing with ADHD is that after you start something and you see that it's not that unpleasant you keep going without even understanding it ,you space out and the hyperactivity is doing the job.
When I found out I had breast cancer 12 years ago, the first thing I did was pray; and the second thing I did was organize all my medical and health info in a ring binder with dividers. Being neat and tidy helped me keep a handle on everything. It was a very dark time and the anxiety was inescapable, but putting things in order helped me get through it. And something good came out of that dark time because I learned how dependent I am on God.
This comment is for all the parents who thought "because I said so" or "cuz you'll get a whoopin' " was good enough. I believe in parental authority. I also believe in rationality and morality, not blind hierarchy.
He didn’t mean to literally clean your room. Born again believers understand this better than anyone. Your body is your room God is your host. It can get messy and attract bad host (demons) and lead down a dark path. Eh you’ll see soon I guess either you will continue to scoff to the end or you change now. The kingdom of heaven will move on regardless of your decision but not without a heavy heart.
Paul farrell sometimes we need a reminder and when it is said by someone outside our mind in specific ways, it registers on a deeper level. Him being a clinical psychologist he has a way of saying things that connect.
I've been there also; I truly understand. May I suggest to start by picking up one item, look at it and decide: do I truly need this (functionally or sentimentality) or should I give/throw away? Next, put those items in either the 'need' or 'give and throw away' boxes or piles...whatever you have handy; no perfection necessary. ;-) One by one, keep making a decision over an item in your room at least once a day regardless to how many days it takes; keeping make a choice about 1 item daily (or as many items as you can bare) because...you are slowly taking authority over and changing your situation. You'll visibly see that as your room improves. Just remember on those days you don't feel like doing anything that...one item at a time can equal a entire room over time...one day at a time.😉 You CAN do this, Luis!☺
I feel that. The first thing I usually start with is picking up one thing and putting it where it belongs. If starting is the hardest part, make it the easiest it can be. Usually, when I put one thing away, I want to put another away, sometimes more, sometimes less. Just make sure that every day, you do at least one thing, even if it's bringing a mug with you to the kitchen, or throwing away a wrapper off your desk. Even if you only do one thing, at least you can say you did something.
Every morning I wake up I lay my bed, vacuum and mop my room twice a week and arrange my study area everyday. It makes my mind calm, clear and focused. Been doing this for years now.
I listened to this psychologist who encouraged me to write the word "valuable" on my bathroom mirror and that task in itself changed my inner dialogue gradually. I started to tell myself I'm valuable and worthy everyday and that turned into me cleaning my room, just automatically, because I thought since I'm valuable I have to treat my environment with value. I've always been messy, always had a trouble to keep my room clean, and now suddenly I keep my room clean all the time just because of that task. My next task is to try to listen to my inner voice better because I have a bad habit of numbing my uncomfortable feelings down with food. I watched the movie Spirited away and realised I gotta change. If I value myself I have to value my inner voice. Clean your inner dialogue 😀
@Harry Harry You have to straighten up a little every day, if you can. I used to say when my kids were younger that I would straighten up just to have them mess it up again!
I love that and I know it is true; but what happens when your partner is not the same? Not a hoarder but someone who doesn't think at all about organizing or throwing things out. Not one bit.
When my house is at disarray, my thoughts are too. When I clean and everything is organized I feel I want to write, read, cook and get dressed. Its a definite trigger for great things to unfold. Its a domino effect.
"If something announces itself to you" That is a strange way of looking at it, but it just made me clean my entire apartment spotless. The way Jordan explains things is amazing, this dude has absolutely changed my life, thank you.
Jordan Peterson is the type of public intellectual with the ability to make the complicated... simple, the metaphysical... palpable, and the common-sensical... necessary. "Be careful what you aim at."
This is true. My room has been messed up during my phases of depression. I just didn’t give a shit about the stuff lying around. I could only clean up if I felt better mentally
Getting it in the same mess right after is next bad feeling. .. But seeing things start to get in order little by little staying that way is amazing. One table at the time. I started to make my bed 45y and its amazing. ( as its also looking like couch )
May God bless you Dr Peterson you sir have changed my life and how I view the world and because of you I have become more and more closer to my faith!!!! Thank you
Done this 3days ago...I was so down and started to fix my room...throw every single rubbish in there. Wow it’s so effective. This video confirmed that.
Actually, there are reports of people that have a messy room but know where all of their stuff is thus not requiring them to organize the room as it is in a weird way already organized in their mind.
@Shelby Abraham Speaking as a disabled person you are correct, but by the same token, the compassion and care in this case is to empower them to help them clean their room and maintain it. I am not there yet, but I am trying, and I have people encouraging me. They are not doing it for me, but they are encouraging me. I am often ashamed if they turn up to look, but for example today my support worker turned up to look at the house. I said it's not up to par today and she said it's fine. It's still better than the first time she looked.
Makes so much sense! When I'm anxious, I clean. My entire house and garage hold no clutter, spaces are not over full, everything is maintained properly. I can't control the world, but I can control the state of my living conditions. Clean and well ordered = peace and calm.
Everyone wants to live in a well maintained house.. but one should understand the mental health issues ...rheir limits.. yes 5-10 minutes rule helps a lot... but not always... along with this long walks ,yoga,watching motivational videos, comedy videos do help
I entirely agree. I was brought upto make my bed and tidy the room as soo. As I wake up. I am 60 yrs of age and I still enjoy my parents teaching. Thank you sooo much. With love and respect.
Every time I clean up something in my room, I need to go to the loo.. And something stagnant in my life surprisingly clears up in the next few days.. I cannot pin point to what will happen because it's much better than what I expect every single time.. 😍😍
It doesn't matter which one of these videos I watch ----the tears come sooner or later. It's like he's seen every moment of my last 15 years of life and is channeling something to me.....it really helps me feel less alone to know this kind of thing, as Peterson is saying, is what so many other people are going through, too.
Boggles the mind why anyone would demonize Jordan Peterson. He's a good doctor and an even better human being. My life has been more improved by his wisdom than anyone who has tried to attack him.
I just spent a couple of months decluttering & reorganizing my *entire* house. I've never felt more in control or in a state of feeling satisfied with myself. It was a dreaded, monumental task, but once I got started, it wasn't nearly as bad as I thought it would be. If you try it, just take one small area of the house at a time & don't push too hard. A little bit at a time.
I love Dr. Peterson so much about his wisdom in his simplicity. I take his advice and then I suddenly need to go and clean myself. Take a shower, shave, brush my teeth and then come back feeling fresh and then tackle my room. Throw out the crap and neaten it up, it's not so difficult and leaves me feeling a whole better and enabled to tackle other tasks. Keeping myself feeling fresh and clean really helps to be able to tackle other tasks that may feel out of control sometimes.
I definitely use the amount or lack of mess in my house as a guage where I'm at mentally and emotionally. It's also the easiest way to feel better about life when you clean it up. I love cleaning messes for this reason and started my own cleaning business because of it. I want to give this sense of stability to as many families and business owners as I can.
Yes Jordan … your are RIGHT … i am a mess , but I’m changing things because of you .. slowly but surely. Thank you , you helped me change my life around
I call this *Feng Shui for the Soul* ♥️✨ It's all about the lost connection between our mental, emotional, spiritual, physical energy and we need to do nice things for our environment as part of our self care. One easy way is washing dishes (leave them to drip dry and then put away once they're dry. This saves tea-towels and is more hygienic). As you're washing the dishes just look at the kitchen worktops and give them a sponge over with some hot bubbly water, and the windowsill if you have one, then maybe move your momentum onto the cupboard fronts then maybe, if you feel okay sponging the kickboards below the floor cupboards. And that's a good little load of tasks done there to clean up the kitchen. If you feel like sweeping the floor do that. If you feel like mopping the floor too, the best solution is simply washing up liquid and hot water. Even if you only do one thing from this list... it's an achievement when you're depressed. Then just do this for each room of your home. The kitchen is a good place to start because it frees up and cleans up your space to be able to get food and drinks if your energies begin to recalibrate. Once you manage to get the kitchen done the bathroom is the next best place (the crucial rooms - one for digestive sustenance and the other for self-care pampering) and then after that the bedroom because this is also a place for pampering rest, relaxation and sleep, and you can also use this room as a lounge whilst you eventually start clearing and cleaning the actual lounge until you can use it comfortably again. These are the four basic and usually most used rooms in a home. You will feel better after doing the initial cleaning in the kitchen because the physical movement is shifting all of your energies (mental, emotional, spiritual, physical) and it may even physically and mentally hurt to some degree depending on the level of depression because it is shifting energies. If you have to go and sit, or lie, down just go and sit, or lie, down and try again when you feel up to it. It's not a failure. It was a success for rising to the challenge. Well done for trying. Awesome for trying. Each day, or even if you want to keep trying more than once a day, just keep trying. If you can't, it's because you're too depressed. Simple as that. Well done to all of you. Sending love in abundance and we all love you without measure because there's no reason for us not to 🤗♥️✨
@@chinmaykane2196 I'm glad it's of help to you. It was just personal experience for me so there's no hard and fast rules. It's just a case of a motto mantra "I am....slowly but surely....getting there......" 😌👌🏽
Living with a hoarder will literally kill you. U can't win. Chaos is such a perfect word. Some people need the Chaos to feel comfortable, if u clean it up, they will mess it up again
So true for my immediate family.As soon as I clean it spotless they pile a lot of stuff immediately,its like the cleaning never even happened.And they can’t be bothered to clean it up,they are always too busy to do the mundane stuff like that.
I was married to a hoarder. I survived by traveling a lot. Hotels. When Covid lockdowns hit I was trapped in the reality of his stuff and had to face the truth. My children and I all shared a bedroom in a 3 bedroom house because he had his stuff filling 2 rooms up. He made his bedroom in the garage that he ironically had cleaned up to keep neat and tidy. The basement and the laundry room he had full of stuff. He had the backyard even full of stuff. He made our lives hell. Now we are separated and peace has returned.
This man is offering crucial life advice. Take it from someone whose done drugs and been down a few wrong paths, being truly organized and set, even in a material sense, is like a high all its own. I've been disorganized for as long as I could remember and everything was stressful. I lost things all the time, I had lingering anxiety because I was always afraid I'd lose something and never know until I needed it and then look for days in a panicked frenzy. Just the pure relief of knowing where my things are and being able to access them in a moment's notice has lifted an enormous weight off my shoulders. I put a massive stack of papers amongst my entire collection of files and knew I could find anything I wanted in that whole stack in less than a minute. It's a small example but just the feeling of knowing I could do that literally felt like a high. And I've been able to apply that to many areas of my life and it's slowly coming together bit by bit. Jordan Peterson makes a very important point though that it is *NOT* just about being clean and organized, it's about being able to identify chaos vs. order and then having the will-power to create order from chaos. Many people can only see the largest contrasts between order and chaos in their lives and all-too-often the contrast between the two is far to great for a person to sanely tackle and solve at once. Especially when you consider all the little bits of chaos that may call to their attention NOW, and all the little bits preventing them from ordering the BIG chaos in their life. Once you begin to correct all the small things, more things become clear that you must deal with, and you are more experienced in creating order from chaos. If you cannot understand all the SMALL things that create chaos in your life, you will *NEVER* be able to sort out the chaos plaguing humanity on a global scale.
You feel lighter and freer when giving away things as I always do! Getting organized is key to feeling good, clearing books is important, we have cats in our house for over 15 years that we love, so cleaning and clearing is key!!! Thanks Dr. Jordan as Freedom and Simplicity is Key!
Its funny you mentioned books. I have a pile of them and have often debated if I should throw some away, but am hit with the thought of "don't destroy literature" like its an unwritten rule.
Have you noticed the increased popularity of JP? His focus is to give a clear message that will reduce personal suffering and allow each one of us to focus on improving their lives and of others. Give this person a Nobel Prize!!! It would be amazing if he receives a United Nations prize or some sort of global recognition for his help on improving mental agility/positive and self-improvement for every one. His TH-cam videos are free. Best motivational speaker / personal coach I have ever encountered. I am going to clean my house right now :)
When I was 11, my friends started paying me to clean their rooms. Eventually, her parents found out and hired me to clean the whole house. Now days, I own and operate a janitorial company. Cleaning has definitely helped me cope with stress! I love when I can use my services to help those who need it most.
Jordan has a lot of value to give to the abstract thinkers and intuitives for sure. It’s disappointing that some people don’t understand where he’s coming from. Like it’s such reasonable advice. The basic things we need to care about like our routines, the minutia… love that
Me three. My house is so full of stuff. A massive undertaking, but one step at a time I guess. As for my life, well, I never discovered a clear path. Still muddling through.
I’m in High school and over the break I wanted to clean my room because I felt really bad and I am quite a hoarder. I threw mostly everything away. I felt way better than before! I didn’t feel so cluttered anymore. I felt relieved that I cleaned my room.
I learn something from him. I told that to my children . Clean your Own room💪👍🏻. I like his teaching about compare yourself with who were yesterday. When our place especially our room is clean our feeling is also pleasant.
This is just what I needed. I totally agree with all that you said. I will listen to this everyday until every room is cleaned. I know it will get better each day. THANK YOU I know this will change my whole life
I do like the captions. I also like what you said, "You see what you aim at." The bible states, "Where your treasures are, there will your heart be also."
I know God but why do people keep giving jesus the praise? That's one of the only religions who give more credit to their "human savior" than God. Just seems odd to me, have you read the bible?
@Zyvon Katche You don't know your Bible. Here's what the Bible *actually* says: Hebrews 1:8, KJV: "But unto the Son he saith, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom." ☝️ That's Father God calling the Son, JESUS, "God".
I don't remember where, but I saw something that said that the first thing you should do every morning when you wake up is to make your bed. It's a very easy little task that will start off your day productively, which will make you feel better about yourself. Then, if you don't manage to get anything else done for the rest of the day, at least you have a nice, made bed to climb into at night. I just thought it was an interesting, helpful idea and now I make a point to make my bed every morning. I have a very hard time establishing and maintaining a routine, but I've been able to do that consistently for a while now and it really helps me start the day feeling good about myself.
“ Decide what you aim at . Be careful at what you aim at , because that will determine how the world will manifest itself to you . “ Most beautiful secret of life 🥰🥰🥰❤️🙏🏽
This is the best piece of advice from Dr Peterson. It really can improve your mental state, aiming you in the direction you want to go, unsticking your life & helps to decide what’s important and what is not. Also, it can teach you planning, strategy, organisation, order, spatial awareness, budgeting, a taste level & common sense. Skills that translate elsewhere. The results save you time, money and are good for the environment too. Put on some music or a comedy show. Grab your 2 bin bags - one for trash & one for donate & get going.
My room used to be a mess, I had a lot of things that I considered a memory, each one of them. I’ve been moving myself around, and throwing things away. Sold my toys, took away some old notebooks, books I don’t even read, old diaries that threw me back to the saddest moments of my life. I feel so much better now, I want to be in my room all day :).
Dorothy Uranga 👍👍 great but how..i also have a lot of unread books, copy notes..for courses u followed ..i just keep them till the day ill used it..but till now havent been able.. I dont want to throw and hav to buy after again....but people dont want books nowadays.
Thats it🔥.. Clean your room. It reallty gives you lot of positive feelings.. My neighbours think this guy is werid . but i dont give damn what they think.. All of people watching this try it out try it for week just try clean your room in the morning before you go out of house or after you coming back it gives you lot of power belive that🔥
I was thinking about the chaos yesterday. So many things I have no control over. Time to fix the things I can control. Feeling overwhelmed about it all but I will start with my room. Thank you.
We are living in such good times due to technology... We get to listen to his lecture which otherwise only the students of the elite colleges and universities would get to listen 🙏
Before I start the video... I just wanna comment about the thumbnail... It's like a light from heaven that brought a revelation to the world about the secrets of cleaning your room through the words of Jordan Peterson.
I watch Jordan’s videos every night and morning and he’s been one of the most important aspects of who I’ve become as a man. His guidance. His pain. His emotion. I don’t know where the right platform is to tell him I genuinely love him. As a father. As a brother. As a human. I don’t care about how it looks to an observer that disagrees the same way I don’t care how the world thinks about my opinion of my actual father. Jordan Peterson is an amazing man to me and I will forever be in his corner and I will forever offer him my consciousness. Forever.
Its good advice for real. You feel great when you clean your room & even better when you do the whole darn house. I began with the entire house as a preparation for the Sabbath. I'll get up, have breakfast & go nonestop for 3hours..vaccum & mop through & through. It just feels great when you take a shower & step out looking at what you've just done!
Cleaning your room is a matter of personal hygene. It is a space that you have complete control over & therefore the first thing you must dominate before anything else, it is your primary workspace & your mindspace. I have found that the state of my room correlates directly with the fortitude of my immune system.
I make a goal for each day, preferably the night before. It doesn't need to be a big goal e.g., fold laundry, load dishwasher, vacuum the car... It's much easier for me to get a lot done once I can finally get started. Sometimes I sit for 30 minutes (sometimes much longer) until I'm able to get out of the chair in the morning and start. Getting started is the hardest part for me. But I strongly believe in the power of accomplishing short term goals.
I was just scrolling looking for a video of how to clean your room i watched earlier This is ther first thing this pops up. Intrested- i click on it. This made me see the better outlook on life. I cant tell you how much this helped me.
I've been on medication for mental illness for years and recently started just forcing myself to clean no matter what and now it's a natural habit to keep my home clean and it's making me happier!
Last King Well done boy! Instruction already given, and you had entered a whole new world and, no worries, start enjoying the journey of your new life.
I think his next instruction is that once you have cleaned yourself, clean your family (fixing family relations), then friends, then a tentative finger out to the community and world.
Next you should make a list of things that bother you in your life. Then you spend time wondering tears in your eyes how the hell you will short them out.
For the longest time my inner self says once my surroundings are organized I will be able to do the things I long to do. He sums this theory up nicely.
Very interesting how I needed to ask myself “what needs to be picked up.” The things that I need to pick up are strangely obvious now. Thank you Professor Peterson!
Hey everyone - let me know if you like this video format (with the captions) or not. Thought I'd try something different. Hope you have a great day!

This is the first time someone has successfully made a case regarding why I should clean my room.

He didn’t mean to literally clean your room. Born again believers understand this better than anyone. Your body is your room God is your host. It can get messy and attract bad host (demons) and lead down a dark path. Eh you’ll see soon I guess either you will continue to scoff to the end or you change now.

@@mcmjr405 I agree with u 100% Jordan is a life saver love these videos
Obvious reality is obvious.
Thats a good con job he does.
He says it with new terminology so it sounds new to us.
When you are so depressed, cleaning your room feels like climbing Mount Everest .
The most difficult part is to start. Once you have started, then little achievements motivate you further until the job is done.
I've been there also; I truly understand.
May I suggest to start by picking up one item, look at it and decide: do I truly need this (functionally or sentimentality) or should I give/throw away?
Next, put those items in either the 'need' or 'give and throw away' boxes or piles...whatever you have handy; no perfection necessary. ;-)
One by one, keep making a decision over an item in your room at least once a day regardless to how many days it takes; keeping make a choice about 1 item daily (or as many items as you can bare) because...you are slowly taking authority over and changing your situation. You'll visibly see that as your room improves.
Just remember on those days you don't feel like doing anything that...one item at a time can equal a entire room over time...one day at a time.😉
You CAN do this, Luis!☺
I feel that. The first thing I usually start with is picking up one thing and putting it where it belongs. If starting is the hardest part, make it the easiest it can be. Usually, when I put one thing away, I want to put another away, sometimes more, sometimes less. Just make sure that every day, you do at least one thing, even if it's bringing a mug with you to the kitchen, or throwing away a wrapper off your desk. Even if you only do one thing, at least you can say you did something.

God bless. Mind telling me more? How do you go about your daily life?
After the recession I have grown to always just live with not a lot of stuff
Been wanting to do this for years. I think I may start.
When my house is at disarray, my thoughts are too. When I clean and everything is organized I feel I want to write, read, cook and get dressed. Its a definite trigger for great things to unfold. Its a domino effect.
It sure is
Same I feel positive vibes confident and creative
.
I'll take this into consideration. As an artist myself.
I strongly believe that our physical space and mental space are connected
Very profound statement 'So why should you even bother improving yourself? So you don't suffer any more stupidly than you have to'
Wow!!
"If something announces itself to you"
That is a strange way of looking at it, but it just made me clean my entire apartment spotless. The way Jordan explains things is amazing, this dude has absolutely changed my life, thank you.
Jordan Peterson is the type of public intellectual with the ability to make the complicated... simple, the metaphysical... palpable, and the common-sensical... necessary. "Be careful what you aim at."
This is true. My room has been messed up during my phases of depression. I just didn’t give a shit about the stuff lying around. I could only clean up if I felt better mentally
For sure.
With the COVID lockdowns things got even worse, at least for me. Hope you're doing better at least.
Girl you better clean yo shit up lol
Its true.when i organise my room, i am happy for next 2 days.after that my room is messy again🤭
@@nehakhanapurkar2231 be a minimalist, toss out what you don't need
Cleaning your room is the best feeling ever cause it invites a good mood and boost and good energy
Getting it in the same mess right after is next bad feeling. .. But seeing things start to get in order little by little staying that way is amazing. One table at the time. I started to make my bed 45y and its amazing. ( as its also looking like couch )
May God bless you Dr Peterson you sir have changed my life and how I view the world and because of you I have become more and more closer to my faith!!!!
Thank you
Done this 3days ago...I was so down and started to fix my room...throw every single rubbish in there. Wow it’s so effective. This video confirmed that.
a cluttered house is a cluttered mind
Or a small house with no cupboards/storage
Actually, there are reports of people that have a messy room but know where all of their stuff is thus not requiring them to organize the room as it is in a weird way already organized in their mind.
You are all right but his is the most correct one
@Shelby Abraham Speaking as a disabled person you are correct, but by the same token, the compassion and care in this case is to empower them to help them clean their room and maintain it. I am not there yet, but I am trying, and I have people encouraging me. They are not doing it for me, but they are encouraging me. I am often ashamed if they turn up to look, but for example today my support worker turned up to look at the house. I said it's not up to par today and she said it's fine. It's still better than the first time she looked.
*roughly speaking
Cleaning my room and listening to this is a vibe
Makes so much sense! When I'm anxious, I clean. My entire house and garage hold no clutter, spaces are not over full, everything is maintained properly. I can't control the world, but I can control the state of my living conditions. Clean and well ordered = peace and calm.
Yes I absolutely agree 👍
Everyone wants to live in a well maintained house.. but one should understand the mental health issues ...rheir limits.. yes 5-10 minutes rule helps a lot... but not always... along with this long walks ,yoga,watching motivational videos, comedy videos do help
100% me too
Yes, cleaning your room and your sorroundings, it will give you a nice feeling and your mind will get clearer😊
I entirely agree. I was brought upto make my bed and tidy the room as soo. As I wake up. I am 60 yrs of age and I still enjoy my parents teaching. Thank you sooo much. With love and respect.
So cute. I visited my 93 year old Mother recently, and there was one day she left her bed unmade, and told her friend's about it .
👌😀
Every time I clean up something in my room, I need to go to the loo.. And something stagnant in my life surprisingly clears up in the next few days.. I cannot pin point to what will happen because it's much better than what I expect every single time.. 😍😍
It doesn't matter which one of these videos I watch ----the tears come sooner or later. It's like he's seen every moment of my last 15 years of life and is channeling something to me.....it really helps me feel less alone to know this kind of thing, as Peterson is saying, is what so many other people are going through, too.
Just today I cleaned my room as a new habit of New year and this video is in my recommendation of yt and I think it's a sign..
Boggles the mind why anyone would demonize Jordan Peterson. He's a good doctor and an even better human being. My life has been more improved by his wisdom than anyone who has tried to attack him.
If I was in college, this would be the type of classes I would love to attend! His teaching is awesome, definitely enlightening.
I just spent a couple of months decluttering & reorganizing my *entire* house. I've never felt more in control or in a state of feeling satisfied with myself. It was a dreaded, monumental task, but once I got started, it wasn't nearly as bad as I thought it would be. If you try it, just take one small area of the house at a time & don't push too hard. A little bit at a time.
Good for you Sir!
.
I love Dr. Peterson so much about his wisdom in his simplicity. I take his advice and then I suddenly need to go and clean myself. Take a shower, shave, brush my teeth and then come back feeling fresh and then tackle my room. Throw out the crap and neaten it up, it's not so difficult and leaves me feeling a whole better and enabled to tackle other tasks. Keeping myself feeling fresh and clean really helps to be able to tackle other tasks that may feel out of control sometimes.
When I’m feeling anxious or depressed, cleaning helps me immensely.
I paused this video to go clean my kitchen. I feel better now.
Lacehairwigs Lol 👍🏽👍🏽
Well done pat yourself on the back that is an achievement.
Right on!!! And: thank God for the Pausebutton.
I did too! I got up and put some things away in my room😂🤣
OMG! I just did the same thing. #DEAD lol!
A great General once said, start every day making your bed. You just accomplished something and set the tone for your day.
I definitely use the amount or lack of mess in my house as a guage where I'm at mentally and emotionally. It's also the easiest way to feel better about life when you clean it up. I love cleaning messes for this reason and started my own cleaning business because of it. I want to give this sense of stability to as many families and business owners as I can.
I've already listened to this for 5 hours straight.Im still cleaning my room.
Yes Jordan … your are RIGHT … i am a mess , but I’m changing things because of you .. slowly but surely. Thank you , you helped me change my life around
Without giving my life story, this one simple hint from Jordan set me up to completely turn my life around.... Bless this man
th-cam.com/video/4LqZdkkBDas/w-d-xo.html
Too good sir going to follow it right away.i have already started feeling the difference
Cleaning my room or even the house always makes me feel so good especially when I feel something is off in my energy
I call this *Feng Shui for the Soul* ♥️✨
It's all about the lost connection between our mental, emotional, spiritual, physical energy and we need to do nice things for our environment as part of our self care. One easy way is washing dishes (leave them to drip dry and then put away once they're dry. This saves tea-towels and is more hygienic). As you're washing the dishes just look at the kitchen worktops and give them a sponge over with some hot bubbly water, and the windowsill if you have one, then maybe move your momentum onto the cupboard fronts then maybe, if you feel okay sponging the kickboards below the floor cupboards. And that's a good little load of tasks done there to clean up the kitchen. If you feel like sweeping the floor do that. If you feel like mopping the floor too, the best solution is simply washing up liquid and hot water. Even if you only do one thing from this list... it's an achievement when you're depressed. Then just do this for each room of your home. The kitchen is a good place to start because it frees up and cleans up your space to be able to get food and drinks if your energies begin to recalibrate. Once you manage to get the kitchen done the bathroom is the next best place (the crucial rooms - one for digestive sustenance and the other for self-care pampering) and then after that the bedroom because this is also a place for pampering rest, relaxation and sleep, and you can also use this room as a lounge whilst you eventually start clearing and cleaning the actual lounge until you can use it comfortably again. These are the four basic and usually most used rooms in a home. You will feel better after doing the initial cleaning in the kitchen because the physical movement is shifting all of your energies (mental, emotional, spiritual, physical) and it may even physically and mentally hurt to some degree depending on the level of depression because it is shifting energies. If you have to go and sit, or lie, down just go and sit, or lie, down and try again when you feel up to it. It's not a failure. It was a success for rising to the challenge. Well done for trying. Awesome for trying. Each day, or even if you want to keep trying more than once a day, just keep trying. If you can't, it's because you're too depressed. Simple as that. Well done to all of you. Sending love in abundance and we all love you without measure because there's no reason for us not to 🤗♥️✨
Your comment was very helpful! I'm copying and pasting it in a file so i can read it again. Thanks
@@chinmaykane2196 I'm glad it's of help to you. It was just personal experience for me so there's no hard and fast rules. It's just a case of a motto mantra "I am....slowly but surely....getting there......" 😌👌🏽
@@earthed_soul thanks. This means a lot to me.
@@chinmaykane2196 🌸
Listening to this while I FINALLY vacuum and rearrange my bedroom.
Cleanliness is GODLINESS. ❤️
Living with a hoarder will literally kill you. U can't win. Chaos is such a perfect word. Some people need the Chaos to feel comfortable, if u clean it up, they will mess it up again
No one goes on in my bedroom. Off limits. Keep out.
@@francesbethodendahl8527 lol ikr
So true for my immediate family.As soon as I clean it spotless they pile a lot of stuff immediately,its like the cleaning never even happened.And they can’t be bothered to clean it up,they are always too busy to do the mundane stuff like that.
I was married to a hoarder. I survived by traveling a lot. Hotels. When Covid lockdowns hit I was trapped in the reality of his stuff and had to face the truth. My children and I all shared a bedroom in a 3 bedroom house because he had his stuff filling 2 rooms up. He made his bedroom in the garage that he ironically had cleaned up to keep neat and tidy. The basement and the laundry room he had full of stuff. He had the backyard even full of stuff. He made our lives hell. Now we are separated and peace has returned.
This man is offering crucial life advice. Take it from someone whose done drugs and been down a few wrong paths, being truly organized and set, even in a material sense, is like a high all its own. I've been disorganized for as long as I could remember and everything was stressful. I lost things all the time, I had lingering anxiety because I was always afraid I'd lose something and never know until I needed it and then look for days in a panicked frenzy.
Just the pure relief of knowing where my things are and being able to access them in a moment's notice has lifted an enormous weight off my shoulders. I put a massive stack of papers amongst my entire collection of files and knew I could find anything I wanted in that whole stack in less than a minute. It's a small example but just the feeling of knowing I could do that literally felt like a high.
And I've been able to apply that to many areas of my life and it's slowly coming together bit by bit. Jordan Peterson makes a very important point though that it is *NOT* just about being clean and organized, it's about being able to identify chaos vs. order and then having the will-power to create order from chaos.
Many people can only see the largest contrasts between order and chaos in their lives and all-too-often the contrast between the two is far to great for a person to sanely tackle and solve at once. Especially when you consider all the little bits of chaos that may call to their attention NOW, and all the little bits preventing them from ordering the BIG chaos in their life.
Once you begin to correct all the small things, more things become clear that you must deal with, and you are more experienced in creating order from chaos. If you cannot understand all the SMALL things that create chaos in your life, you will *NEVER* be able to sort out the chaos plaguing humanity on a global scale.
You feel lighter and freer when giving away things as I always do! Getting organized is key to feeling good, clearing books is important, we have cats in our house for over 15 years that we love, so cleaning and clearing is key!!! Thanks Dr. Jordan as Freedom and Simplicity is Key!
Its funny you mentioned books. I have a pile of them and have often debated if I should throw some away, but am hit with the thought of "don't destroy literature" like its an unwritten rule.
Have you noticed the increased popularity of JP? His focus is to give a clear message that will reduce personal suffering and allow each one of us to focus on improving their lives and of others. Give this person a Nobel Prize!!! It would be amazing if he receives a United Nations prize or some sort of global recognition for his help on improving mental agility/positive and self-improvement for every one. His TH-cam videos are free. Best motivational speaker / personal coach I have ever encountered. I am going to clean my house right now :)
Agree!!!💯Dr Peterson is brilliant !!!Such a rare treasure to the world!!!
When I was 11, my friends started paying me to clean their rooms. Eventually, her parents found out and hired me to clean the whole house. Now days, I own and operate a janitorial company. Cleaning has definitely helped me cope with stress! I love when I can use my services to help those who need it most.
I would hire a Cleanologist like you but I actually was able to clean my room for myself!
@@nuclearcatbaby1131 Great news! Take care and congratulations🥰
Also... don’t forget to clean yourself/ groom. Builds confidence to get your room and life in order. Remember you come first before anything else.
Got it
Jordan has a lot of value to give to the abstract thinkers and intuitives for sure. It’s disappointing that some people don’t understand where he’s coming from. Like it’s such reasonable advice. The basic things we need to care about like our routines, the minutia… love that
I just love love Jordan Peterson, his passion, his message, his voice.... Makes me feel better just watching his stuff
Whenever I clean my room perfectly I have a desire to learn spiritual matters!!
I need to spring clean my room and life.
Kay McGarden me too.
Me three. My house is so full of stuff. A massive undertaking, but one step at a time I guess. As for my life, well, I never discovered a clear path. Still muddling through.
@@josephryan5949 good luck hey. Spring cleaning is hard especially for a hoarder like myself.
Start with this: th-cam.com/video/4LqZdkkBDas/w-d-xo.html
But cleaning your room is a good idea.
I am in a point in my life where everything's a mess and I don't know what to do.. This came in, and now I know where to start.
My life is a mess too, sending you good luck that you will come right.
Don't take advice from this man. I mean, cleaning a room is good, but not the rest... th-cam.com/video/4LqZdkkBDas/w-d-xo.html
Tidy up your room each day while listening to this 8 minute video. 8 minutes each day should do.
How lucky are those sitting there listening to him everyday!!
I’m in High school and over the break I wanted to clean my room because I felt really bad and I am quite a hoarder. I threw mostly everything away. I felt way better than before! I didn’t feel so cluttered anymore. I felt relieved that I cleaned my room.
I learn something from him. I told that to my children . Clean your Own room💪👍🏻. I like his teaching about compare yourself with who were yesterday.
When our place especially our room is clean our feeling is also pleasant.
This is just what I needed. I totally agree with all that you said. I will listen to this everyday until every room is cleaned. I know it will get better each day. THANK YOU
I know this will change my whole life
I do like the captions. I also like what you said, "You see what you aim at." The bible states, "Where your treasures are, there will your heart be also."
The Lord Jesus is The Only way to eternity; Heaven. God loves you !
I know God but why do people keep giving jesus the praise? That's one of the only religions who give more credit to their "human savior" than God. Just seems odd to me, have you read the bible?
@@BlakethaReaper Because Jesus is God.
@Zyvon Katche You don't know your Bible. Here's what the Bible *actually* says:
Hebrews 1:8, KJV: "But unto the Son he saith, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom."
☝️ That's Father God calling the Son, JESUS, "God".
Amen 🙏🏿
“As soon as you give it an aim, a genuine aim, it’ll reconfigure the world in keeping with that aim.” HANDS DOWN. FACTS 💯
I think this was made for me. And the truth hurts but it’s the truth. He’s just so right
The best way to Change yourself to improve is to start with tidying your room.
Every time I clean my room, I feel like I got a fresh start. A fresh start to finish my projects
I'm forever thankful to Cathy Newman for introducing this man to me
Cleanliness is heavenliness
❤
I don't remember where, but I saw something that said that the first thing you should do every morning when you wake up is to make your bed. It's a very easy little task that will start off your day productively, which will make you feel better about yourself. Then, if you don't manage to get anything else done for the rest of the day, at least you have a nice, made bed to climb into at night.
I just thought it was an interesting, helpful idea and now I make a point to make my bed every morning. I have a very hard time establishing and maintaining a routine, but I've been able to do that consistently for a while now and it really helps me start the day feeling good about myself.
When I’m stressed or upset my room is messy soo true once I get tiny bit better I start cleaning

“ Decide what you aim at .
Be careful at what you aim at , because that will determine how the world will manifest itself to you . “
Most beautiful secret of life 🥰🥰🥰❤️🙏🏽
This is the best piece of advice from Dr Peterson. It really can improve your mental state, aiming you in the direction you want to go, unsticking your life & helps to decide what’s important and what is not. Also, it can teach you planning, strategy, organisation, order, spatial awareness, budgeting, a taste level & common sense. Skills that translate elsewhere. The results save you time, money and are good for the environment too. Put on some music or a comedy show. Grab your 2 bin bags - one for trash & one for donate & get going.
"Look around at something that is bothering you, and see if you can fix it." Fabulous😊
"Be careful what you aim at. What you aim at determines how the world manifests to you." Jordan Peterson
My room used to be a mess, I had a lot of things that I considered a memory, each one of them. I’ve been moving myself around, and throwing things away. Sold my toys, took away some old notebooks, books I don’t even read, old diaries that threw me back to the saddest moments of my life. I feel so much better now, I want to be in my room all day :).
Dorothy Uranga 👍👍 great but how..i also have a lot of unread books, copy notes..for courses u followed ..i just keep them till the day ill used it..but till now havent been able..
I dont want to throw and hav to buy after again....but people dont want books nowadays.
Too true
I believe a shift in psychotherapy should be introduced. The treatment sessions should take place at the patient's house, not at the doctor's office.
Thats it🔥.. Clean your room. It reallty gives you lot of positive feelings.. My neighbours think this guy is werid . but i dont give damn what they think.. All of people watching this try it out try it for week just try clean your room in the morning before you go out of house or after you coming back it gives you lot of power belive that🔥
I was thinking about the chaos yesterday. So many things I have no control over. Time to fix the things I can control. Feeling overwhelmed about it all but I will start with my room. Thank you.
We are living in such good times due to technology... We get to listen to his lecture which otherwise only the students of the elite colleges and universities would get to listen 🙏
For me ironing, cleaning decluttering helps to calm me and resolve things.
Before I start the video... I just wanna comment about the thumbnail... It's like a light from heaven that brought a revelation to the world about the secrets of cleaning your room through the words of Jordan Peterson.
I watch Jordan’s videos every night and morning and he’s been one of the most important aspects of who I’ve become as a man. His guidance. His pain. His emotion. I don’t know where the right platform is to tell him I genuinely love him. As a father. As a brother. As a human. I don’t care about how it looks to an observer that disagrees the same way I don’t care how the world thinks about my opinion of my actual father. Jordan Peterson is an amazing man to me and I will forever be in his corner and I will forever offer him my consciousness. Forever.
Its good advice for real. You feel great when you clean your room & even better when you do the whole darn house. I began with the entire house as a preparation for the Sabbath. I'll get up, have breakfast & go nonestop for 3hours..vaccum & mop through & through. It just feels great when you take a shower & step out looking at what you've just done!
It’s only 8AM and JP already made me think deeply 😩
i always watch this video when my room gets messy for motivation.
Before I even watch this video I clean up my room and threw away all the stuff that I didn't want anymore..Happy new year of 2020!🙏🙏
Cleaning your room is a matter of personal hygene. It is a space that you have complete control over & therefore the first thing you must dominate before anything else, it is your primary workspace & your mindspace.
I have found that the state of my room correlates directly with the fortitude of my immune system.
Start where you can start 👍
I make a goal for each day, preferably the night before. It doesn't need to be a big goal e.g., fold laundry, load dishwasher, vacuum the car... It's much easier for me to get a lot done once I can finally get started. Sometimes I sit for 30 minutes (sometimes much longer) until I'm able to get out of the chair in the morning and start. Getting started is the hardest part for me. But I strongly believe in the power of accomplishing short term goals.
Drinking coffee looking at this video and my to do list I made last night for today.
I was just scrolling looking for a video of how to clean your room i watched earlier
This is ther first thing this pops up.
Intrested- i click on it.
This made me see the better outlook on life.
I cant tell you how much this helped me.
After my divorce I cleaned so well that a CSI forensic team couldn't find his DNA anywhere
hattie nuff 😂😂😂😂😂
Welcome to my club!!! Out with the old, in with the best yet to come!
Lol
Ha ha ha ...I hear you .

Waiting for next instruction,
I will do anything he say. The most genuine personality I ever came across.
Last King Well done boy! Instruction already given, and you had entered a whole new world and, no worries, start enjoying the journey of your new life.
I think his next instruction is that once you have cleaned yourself, clean your family (fixing family relations), then friends, then a tentative finger out to the community and world.
Next you should make a list of things that bother you in your life. Then you spend time wondering tears in your eyes how the hell you will short them out.
Keep it clean
Last King A next step might be to buy his book, 12 rules for life,. Grab a pen and a highlighter and turn the page.
Very simple piece of advice but very true very effective! Reality is not so difficult to face if we understand its simplicity.
For the longest time my inner self says once my surroundings are organized I will be able to do the things I long to do. He sums this theory up nicely.
AMEN!!! Now my work, on me must continue! Not that start & stop stuff I've been doing....... thanks for your comment.👍🤗
Very interesting how I needed to ask myself “what needs to be picked up.” The things that I need to pick up are strangely obvious now. Thank you Professor Peterson!
Jordan Peterson is in top five human list of all time
this is such an inspirational speech, it needs subtitles in all languages - would love to show it to some people, who dont speak english at all.
