Lesson 770: Action Plan for Small-Scale Cleanup
Course duration:70 minutes
This course breaks down large-scale cleaning tasks into smaller, manageable actions. Learners choose only one drawer, a desktop, or a corner, setting a specific time and end point to avoid being overwhelmed by the overall mess from the start. The course emphasizes completing a small area rather than planning to clean everything. The practice focuses on safety, slowness, and feasibility, rather than aiming for complete change all at once. Please record each action, changes in anxiety, and spatial shifts to create a reviewable practice track.

Lesson 770: Action Plan for Small-Scale Cleanup
Click to view the read-aloud text
Facing an entire room, a wall of cabinets, or a pile of accumulated items can be overwhelming for anyone. Organizing doesn't need to start with the hardest part, nor does it need to be completed all at once. You just need to find a small area where you can truly begin and end. Focus on understanding, pausing, and choosing within your "small-scale tidying action plan," rather than blaming yourself. Prepare a small piece of paper and write down the one thing you most want to practice today, and then write down a minimum version that you can accomplish. This way, even if you're not feeling well, you still have a path to follow. You can think of today's practice as a gentle companionship, not a harsh exam. Choose a very small entry point, give yourself a manageable scope, and then proceed with steady movements. If you feel resistance, frustration, or reluctance during the process, don't rush to deny it; simply acknowledge gently: "I'm feeling a little uncomfortable right now, but I can still continue slowly." When you're willing to stop and observe, you're no longer completely swept away by old habits. Even just pausing for ten more seconds, seeing one more thought, or making one more note is part of the recovery. Include these small changes; they are slowly accumulating. If you can't do something at a certain step, don't immediately give up. You can retreat to smaller goals, such as tidying up only one corner, judging only three items, or writing down only one feeling. Recovery requires flexibility, not forcing yourself. The gentler you adjust your methods, the easier it is for new habits to stay. When you finish practicing, give yourself a simple wrap-up. You can drink some water, wash your hands, open the window, or write down what you accomplished today on a piece of paper. This wrap-up will remind your body: I've done a little, and I can stop here for today. Remember, change isn't about overturning the past all at once, but about gradually returning life to yourself through gentle practice. You don't need to prove to anyone that you'll get better immediately; you just need to give yourself more understanding, more order, and more breathing space today. Taking it slow doesn't mean standing still; it means you're finally starting to move forward in a way that doesn't harm you. As long as you see even a little more than yesterday, it's already worth acknowledging. Please carefully count these small efforts; they are not superfluous comforts, but evidence that new habits are forming.
AI Healing Q&A
Describe to the AI the most difficult item, thought, or area to deal with today within your small-scale tidying plan. Let the AI break it down into context, thought, emotion, physical reaction, urge to hoard, and small possible actions, and generate a gentle alternative phrase to remind yourself that you don't need to hoard for security. The key to this exercise is safety, slowness, and feasibility; don't aim for complete change all at once.
○ Music therapy guidance
Music therapy revolves around small-scale tidying plans. Choose music with a steady rhythm and gentle melody, listen for three minutes, and then tidy up a very small area. While listening, observe your breathing, shoulder and hand tension, and anxiety scores, using the music as a stabilizing signal for starting, pausing, and ending. The focus of the practice is safety, slowness, and feasibility; do not aim to achieve complete change in one go. Please record your anxiety scores, physical reactions, and spatial changes before and after the action.

2. Recipe and Method
Recipe (1–2 servings):
- 40g black rice
- Soak 30g of red beans in advance.
- 30 g of japonica rice
- 900 ml of water
- A little rock sugar, optional
practice:
- Soak or wash beans, grains, nuts, or herbs as needed in advance.
- Rinse the rice thoroughly and put it in a pot for later use.
- Add the main ingredients and water to a pot and bring to a boil over high heat.
- Simmer over low heat for 25–40 minutes to allow the rice grains to gradually open up and the ingredients to soften.
- Ingredients that cook more easily or have a milder aroma can be added in the latter part of the cooking process to maintain the flavor profile.
- Add a small amount of rock sugar, brown sugar, goji berries, or salt as needed, and simmer for another 2–3 minutes.
- Once the porridge has become soft and thick, it can be eaten warm.
3. Small rituals for body and mind
When preparing black rice and red bean porridge, you can first observe the color, aroma and texture of the ingredients, and gradually shift your attention from the cluttered space, the coming and going of items and external evaluations back to the actions in your hands.
As you heat, stir, or plate, slow down and feel the scattered ingredients gradually come together to form a palatable whole. Remind yourself: I don't need to clean everything at once; I only need to complete one manageable small step.
When you take your first bite, focus on the warmth, softness, fragrance, or fullness to let your body know that it is safe and bearable, and you can relax a little.
4. Dietary Therapy Experience Record
- Record the time of consumption: before, during, or after tidying up, or before bedtime for mental and physical relaxation.
- Observe whether there are any changes in stomach burden, satiety, mental stability, and anxiety intensity within 30–60 minutes after consumption.
- If you consume black rice and red bean porridge after cleaning, sorting, discarding, or reviewing, you can record whether it helps reduce fatigue and restore a sense of control over your body.

Mandala Viewing Healing
Mandala visualization revolves around a small-scale tidying plan. Choose an image with a clear center and orderly hierarchy, and slowly look from the outer circle towards the center, then back from the center to the whole. During practice, do not analyze whether the image is good or bad; simply experience the visual process from chaos to order, helping to return attention to boundaries and a sense of space. The focus of the practice is safety, slowness, and feasibility; do not aim to achieve complete change in one go. Please record your anxiety score, physical reactions, and spatial changes before and after the action.

○ Calligraphy and engraving therapy practice
The calligraphy healing exercise revolves around a "small-scale cleansing plan." This lesson does not prescribe fixed sentences; learners can choose 2 to 6 words from the course title, personal cleansing goals, or their feelings for the day. When writing, slow down the beginning, middle, and end of each stroke, observing whether you are rushing to finish, fill the page, or complete the task immediately. The focus of the exercise is to let the strokes help slow down your breathing, rather than striving for a complete piece.
○ Art Therapy Guidance
Art therapy revolves around a small-scale tidying plan. Draw a room, drawer, or desktop, gradually creating a passageway, a blank space, and a usable area from a cramped state. Finally, write, "I can restore the space little by little," using the drawing to practice moving from a feeling of loss of control to an organized order. The focus of the practice is safety, slowness, and feasibility; it doesn't aim for complete change all at once. Record your anxiety score, physical reactions, and changes in the space before and after the action.
