How do monks actually do?

I'm very selfish and guttara.

The room is a mess, and my grooming is one step closer to the dangerous level.

Housework can also be done to a minimum, and clothes, for example, are piled up on the floor even after washing.

About two degrees a month comes to the mind that this should not be the case,
When I folded my clothes and stored them in a chest of drawers, it looked like they were worn out
Now it's time to get rid of myself stretching out on the floor for a while.

I've been bathing, washing my face, etc. for the time being, but I feel limp every time.
Take care of your body while your body is warm! stretch! But what is longing
Yes, but in reality, I'm rolling around saying “I'm tired” until my stomach hurts.

Even if I talk to my family and close friends, “I'll take another step forward there”
“Wouldn't it feel good to be beautiful?” “Why don't you set a reward for yourself?” etc
... not very helpful.

Mother (a quick person who can do two or more things at once)
From then on, “If I can't get ready or put on makeup in the morning, I'm probably sick
No one will be in trouble even if your room is terrible, and it doesn't matter what it is until you make a big mistake?”
I was told.
(I'm in a state where I'm unmotivated, but my sleep and appetite are fine,
(You can also change your mood, so I think it might be an illness.)

So I'd like to ask,
There is an image of monks getting up early, reciting sutras, and cleaning temples.
Is there anything you don't want to do?
What do you do in such a case?

I want you to teach me a practical method, not a mental one.
Being in such a state at an age when I'm supposed to have physical strength is horrible when I think about the future.
Thank you for your support.

By the way, read past Q&A,
In response to Zubora Girls, they say “Let's live in a setting where we live with wonderful people”
I tried to try it,
I can only think (the actual problem doesn't exist here~)
In response to truant children, “to school!” “Go!” Let's keep on chanting
I tried to try it, but I couldn't keep up the energy to keep singing.
(“Laundry... folding... laundry... rattling... hmm, I've finished my underwear, OK?”
It was like that.) I'm really sorry.

You're the only one who can change you

Nice to meet you.
Actually, I'm also a stubborn person. I lived in a group during my training days, so I ran around every day while being rushed by people around me.
Now I'm the chief priest of the temple, and I'm no longer being rushed by anyone, but I feel like I'm able to get up early due to the inertia of my training days (laughs) lol
Of course, when I think it's going to be tough, I don't overdo it and sleep with Goron.

Does NIA want to change herself?
As far as I read the text, I didn't feel that way.
You can't change yourself just by thinking “I want to change.”
When you really think “we have to change” from the bottom of our heart, that is the only way to take on the challenge with an indomitable determination.

I can't teach you anything practical, think for yourself.

It depends on your motivation.

What do you mean, is it Gutara? The gutara that NIA refers to may mean that everyday life doesn't go smoothly.
When I was young, I had no choice but to do it when I was a temple boy, but when I went back to my temple, I was probably living an irresponsible lifestyle in Gutara from what is called my surroundings.
Recently, it's not that hard to wake up in the morning, probably because I'm getting older, but even so, there are times when it's unreasonable. I regret doing my best when I was younger.

Now, NIA seems to be worried about what to do, but there are probably no complaints or deficiencies in her current life. I think I'm happy with the situation.
No, that's not true. It seems that they will be refuted if they make an effort, but it certainly seems that they have tried various things, but it doesn't work. ... that's because there's no sense of crisis.

So, even if you say whether to do it if there's a sense of crisis, they probably won't do it after all, given various reasons. It's easy to think that it can be done if the environment changes, but that is probably temporary.
It may be a bit harsh, but in short, it's about whether the person himself is motivated or not.
No matter how many superadvisors appear, it's up to them to do it.

First, please do what you can to try to do today.
If you start something, you'll notice something. As consciousness changes, it will expand steadily.
Act before you think.

Tidying up is originally fun

I read your question.
It was conveyed that they were struggling to clean up.
Even if you use your imagination to clean it, it's not actually Prince Hakuba's castle.

My room, which I'm responding in a bossy manner now, used to be at a level where I couldn't see the floor...
There were times like that.

My method of practice
1. Go to the drugstore cleaning corner!
There are quite a few creative cleaning goods, and it's fun just to look at them.

2. Eliminate the source of clutter in the first place!
We relentlessly throw away things we don't need. It's natural that when there are fewer things, it becomes easier to clean up.
In my experience, in a tidy house, there are few things left.

3. Try to clean only one part of the room!
When you look at the beautiful part, it's easy to feel like trying something else next.

4. Clean up the details while staying idle!
When you don't have time to do anything, wipe the gaps in the table with a quick wipe or the like.

5. Clean places with cords inside, such as the back of the TV, once every 2 weeks!
If you leave the back of the TV alone, it will be a pile of dust.
Dust does not accumulate easily by simply scrubbing lightly with the Quick Wiper Handy etc. on a regular basis.

Anyway, I've written a lot, but please go through trial and error on your own.

It would be nice if my room was clean and I could take care of my appearance.

If you want to change, act now! There is nothing but it.

People come in and out of the temple. After all, cleaning and maintenance are necessary, aren't they? My house is like that, too.
I think they also have personalities and environments...
I used to be in the field of early childhood education. Keeping things tidy is a matter of course, and children grow up watching it. It's safe to say that the environment in which they grow up determines a child's life. They also teach how to use dangerous things (scissors, cutters, etc.) and teach how to clean up. I'll teach you how to clean up before using it. Otherwise, there is a risk of getting injured or putting small items in your mouth.
As with anything, whether it's clothes, daily necessities, or stationery, when you buy them, properly decide where to clean up, and be sure to put them back there when you use them. That's all. This habit leads to keeping things organized.

Well, okay, see you next time... because I have a habit. Move now! That's all there is to it.
I am the one who makes people laugh at me.

If I need to do it, I'll do it.

Like a garbage house or something
I don't think we're in a dangerous situation.
Work during the daytime and live a healthy life
If it's running,
There is no need to force yourself to clean up in particular.
I think so.
It is better to keep your heart and thoughts honest and bright
It would be nice, but
Being somewhat sloppy is charming.
If someone really nice shows up,
The makeup will also take a lot of care.
I think your mother was right.
When working at a temple, costumes are from the beginning,
I will pay the latest attention to actions,
At home, I almost never sleep on a futon, and I'm exhausted, on the floor, on my head,
The eldest son of a Chihuahua is at his feet the second son's
There is a toy poodle, and a small fish is sleeping.
In the morning, I was kicked off by my real eldest son
It's about getting rid of it.
However, at the temple, the foot bag was worn the other day
I put my foot on a chair and tried to wear it, so
I scolded him.
We don't forgive playfulness.
Do you wear socks before putting on a costume
Something to bend over and wear firmly,
It has been decided at home.
Work is a serious game.
Is it an act of gratitude to Nyorai,
Be sure to keep it sharp.
It's natural.
Are you also skipping work?
You won't skip it, right?
If so, fine!
There is absolutely no problem.
