Cleaning improves your moods in so many ways. In fact, it sends a message about what you feel and who you are. Even though not everybody loves cleaning, it is an activity worth indulging in and here are a few reasons why it can make you happy;
1. Creates a feeling of accomplishment
Cleaning will create a sense of accomplishment because the results are mostly tangible and observable. For instance, cleaning out your basement and turning it to that office or home studio you have always wanted makes you feel accomplished by successfully completing the task. Once you finish cleaning your house you will feel ready to accomplish other tasks as it gives you some kind of confidence to carry them out.
2. It improves your mood
If you are feeling a little bit bumped, then try cleaning. It sure does make you feel good and that is why some people clean when they are feeling low or mad. Cleaning is a light form of work out that not only leaves you with a feeling of accomplishment but also enhances your moods. Backed by science, cleaning has shown to increase endorphins, which are hormones that make you feel good. In fact, cleaning has been shown to prevent stressors so, generally makes you happier.
3. Allows you to meditate
Cleaning is a good way to break from the daily hustle and tussle. Since most of our lives today are work centered, cleaning gives you time to meditate away from that life and relax while at it. It doesn’t matter if you love cleaning with music playing loud in the background or if you love a calm environment, you get time to give thought to other things in your life.
4. Allows you to feel in control
When you lack control over other aspects of your life, cleaning will create a sense of control over your house. That is why you feel the comfort of your home, because of the control you have over it. You can rearrange stuff when you feel like or take out clutter anytime you are okay with. You become happier with that kind of control because it is inevitable and there is a revolutionary need for it. What’s more, you can book a simply maid which is a cleaning service to clean for you and it will bring the same sense of happiness and control to you.
5. It creates a reflection of who you are
Your home’s appearance can be an indicator of your own feelings. If your home is messy or dirty, it may be a reflection of the feelings you have towards yourself. If you don’t feel good about yourself, you may end up neglecting the environment you are living in. If the mess gets more chaotic, then you feel even worse about yourself. So, by cleaning up and arranging your space, you send a message of how you feel to other people and yourself.
