Happy Saturday!
First of all, let me warn you that this post may not be smooth and clear because I had a super busy week, I slept just 2 hours last night and I have tons of work to do this weekend.
But when I saw the topic for this turn of Ecency Discord Posting by @beeber, several thoughts popped into my head. I wanted to share them with you but couldn't find the way to do it best. But if be honest, I am not sure if my thoughts are really suited to the 'Cleaning' topic... So, sorry in advance, if I am wrong...
But I will try to do my best...
Cleaning is very wide and big...hm... should I call it 'topic'?! We clean the house, clean the working space, clean clothes (doing laundry), etc. And that word has a lot of synonyms. And here are some of them that Thesaurus showed me.
The interesting fact is that I liked the very first-word 'purification' and the last one 'tidying'.
And these 2 words are related to what I am going to share with you. At least, I think so :)
Recycling
Many countries and people in the world sort and recycle garbage. And I do it too. Yes, I do care about the environment, and I believe that even a small effort has value, and can help to save our planet.
Big attention I pay to plastic. Here is the plastic that I throw away. Did you notice that there is no transparent plastic?!
The transparent plastic I take to the special recycling machine. Also, that machine recycles coke cans, etc. Unfortunately, I don't have new transparent plastic to recycle, and didn't have time to go to that machine, so I could take a picture and show it to you.
But why I am splitting 2 types of these plastic garbages? Because when you use that recycling machine you can earn points or donate. Yes, it is not a lot of money, but I think even a small donation is better than nothing. Yes, it takes time to go to that machine and recycle the plastic, but no pain, no gain. No effort, no better future!
Recharge
Recharge... That word has several meanings. At least, for me.
First, it is related to the previous "Re", to Recycling and saving the planet. When you finish your drink but want to drink more, you can use the same cup instead of asking for a new one. Yes, it is more about 'reuse', but I see the connecting line between those two words :)
Another thing that came to my mind is 'recharging resources'. We consume a lot of natural, energy, etc resources. Unfortunately, the planet doesn't have time to replenish these resources.
One more important association that I have with this word is 'recharge your energy'. I think many people work super hard, they don't have breaks, they don't have time for their hobbies, etc. Thus, they only use the energy but don't recharge it. Even our 'lovely' gadgets that we use every day need recharging. And we need to recharge our human (I am not sure what is the right way to call those resources), our personal resources.
Relax
The last but not the least 'Re' I want to share with you is 'Relax'. Yes, it is different from the previous two ideas, at least, the word itself is different morphologically. But that word is directly connected to the paragraph above, to 'recharge your energy'.
In the beginning, I wanted to call that part 'rethink', but then it seemed to me that 'relax' covers 'rethink' too...
For me, cleaning is also about cleaning the energy, cleaning the head (mind)... Everyone has good sides and bad, everyone makes mistakes and right things, everyone can have positive and negative feelings, etc. There is not only white or black in the world. But it is important to follow the positive, the right way. And we need enough energy to do it, so we need just to relax sometimes!
SUMMARY
All those 3 'RE's are correlated. It is important to recycle garbage, but it is also necessary to recycle bad, useless, negative thoughts that we have in our heads. Even if you did a mistake, you said something wrong, recycle those thoughts. It is enough if you understand that you did/said/thought wrong, and learned from your mistake. Recharge your head with positive thoughts and ideas. Think what useful/good/positive you can do. Then take a rest, and realize those positive ideas with renewed vigour!
