When it comes to hobbies that are good for your mental health, some of the most relaxing activities that immediately come to mind include cooking, gardening, running or reading.
But for many others, cleaning out and organizing drawers and closets calms the mind, relieves anxiety, and makes them feel more productive. This choice also has a psychological explanation, with which AgroWeb.org was introduced below.
Why home organization and order make you feel better
A study that AgroWeb.org relied on found that women who thought their homes were tidy had lower levels of cortisol, the stress hormone, than women who described their homes as messy.
Clutter takes up physical space and drains your mental energy. Your home should be a sanctuary, a place centered on memories, family, friends and a place where you feel safe and relaxed. Therefore, a well-organized home has these advantages in your peace of mind.
Excessive clutter distracts you, making it more difficult to complete your tasks. While a tidy and calm environment will increase mental clarity and make you feel more focused and productive.
The act of regularly organizing and cleaning your living space makes you feel accomplished because you see the task as successfully completed. This activates the reward process in the brain and releases feel-good hormones like dopamine, experts explain.
Researchers say that cleaning the space we live in is similar to cleaning our brain. This process helps us separate the thoughts we need to focus on and avoid or “trash” thoughts that don’t serve us. Therefore, this is why cleaning and organizing calms us down and makes us feel good.
The easiest way to always keep your home tidy is to organize or clean even for 10 minutes every day, to ensure that even a small area of the room is cleaned./ AgroWeb.org
