Use cleaning as a way to relieve stress and anxiety from "summary" of Hinch Yourself Happy by Mrs Hinch
Cleaning can be so much more than just a chore. It can actually be a form of therapy for your mind and soul. When you're feeling overwhelmed or anxious, taking the time to clean and organize your space can help to alleviate those negative emotions. The act of cleaning can provide a sense of control and accomplishment, which can be incredibly empowering when you're feeling stressed out.
By focusing on the physical task at hand, you can give your mind a break from worrying and ruminating on stressful thoughts. The repetitive motions of cleaning can be soothing and meditative, allowing you to enter a state of mindfulness and presence. As you scrub, wipe, and dust, you can let go of your worries and focus on the here and now.
Cleaning can also be a great way to release pent-up energy and tension. Physical activity has been shown to reduce feelings of anxiety and depression, so getting up and moving around while you clean can help to boost your mood and energy levels. Plus, the endorphins released during exercise can create a natural high that leaves you feeling refreshed and revitalized.
Creating a clean and organized environment can also have a positive impact on your mental well-being. A cluttered and messy space can contribute to feelings of overwhelm and stress, while a clean and tidy space can promote feelings of calm and serenity. When your surroundings are in order, it can help to create a sense of harmony and balance in your life.
So, the next time you're feeling stressed or anxious, consider picking up a mop or a duster and giving your space a good clean. You might be surprised at how much better you feel afterwards. Cleaning can be a powerful tool for self-care and stress relief, so don't underestimate the therapeutic benefits of a sparkling clean home.
