Chaotic Energy to actually cleaning my room?!

Published on 13 August 2025 at 15:47

I went through a lot today energy-wise. This morning, I started to feel restless. In my mind I knew that if my room was clearer (things put away) I wouldn't feel as on edge, but I also knew that it was the last thing I wanted to do and, well, there were a few other things I wanted to take care of first. Like eating breakfast. So, I ate. Then I tried to be creative again, but the wheels were still blocked. So then I changed up my scenery. I went and played the piano for a bit. But even that was a struggle. Trying to follow the notes on the page and be patient enough to work my way through a piece, it was too much, but I did like hearing the piano make sound, so I essentially just smashed the keys. Whatever I felt like. All the chaotic dissonant sounds that would resolve... however, the dissonant sounds almost sounded more soothing to my brain, so I would return. Sliding my finger up and down the keyboard, I did glissandos and then I would do eight part harmonies with wherever my hands hit. My favorite sound was ascending and descending thirds in the right hand all on the white keys and in the left hand an octave lower just one note lower than the note my right thumb was playing. The dissonance was so satisfying. After that, the energies were still bouncing around inside me, and I quickly decided to take a walk. It helped that the temperature was still fairly low, so I hopped out and grabbed my keys and my bike (because I didn't want to be too far out and then not have the energy to get back) and I took my bike for a walk :D

After my initial fast energy wore off, I stopped and recorded my thoughts in a short video, then before I stagnated, I started walking again and stopped by the grocery store to pick up some needed items. I also bought more yarn and a styrofoam head. I want to make a yarn wig for myself... ^^

After all that, I was ready to head back home

then I had lunch and healthy conversation with my roommate before I could feel the inkling of a feeling that I would be okay to start cleaning my room, so I jumped on that feeling and headed upstairs. Even though I did feel it, I spent some time on my phone playing pokemon card games for a bit before actually getting up and starting in on it. 

But I did it!! And now, my room is not completely clean, but it is TONS better than it was and I breathe easier looking around it. So WIN! I worked through it, used my chaotic energy for good instead of banishing it, or trying to force myself anyway, and look at the difference it made! Yeah... 
Just feeling good and I haven't posted on my blog for a while. I want to get back into it. I have had some thoughts and ideas that work best in this format, so I'll start putting them together.

 

Thanks you guys for reading!
Until next time!

Find JOY!!
