I personally get a real buzz from this and am totally focussed on the task in hand and the feel-good factor to follow. For example, it has been said that the repetitive motion of cleaning can be meditative as you are focussing on one thing and your attention is engaged solely in that direction, not allowing your mind to wander or negativity to intrude. If you’re a fellow Instagrammer, like myself you will have seen the cleaning craze and how it can affect your mood and well-being.
All you fellow followers of the infamous ‘Mrs H’ (need I say more), will understand my rationale on this one. My work colleagues think I am rather an extreme case but believe it or not, putting in a little ‘elbow grease’ can do wonders for your mental health. You may be wondering which of the aforementioned categories that I fall into and the answer is none of the above! My go-to relaxation and motivation source is actually a regular cleaning routine, not because my domain resembles a war zone, but rather more because the very act of cleaning makes me feel good and gives me a huge sense of satisfaction, thereby allowing me to relax. Some people, particularly if they are feeling stressed or anxious may turn to a relaxing massages, meditation or even tuning in to motivational podcasts. Some serious and topical subjects that touch most of us in one way or another and it may interest you to understand some of the benefits that a regular workspace cleaning regime can have on you and your life. Out of sight, out of mind.Throughout the month of March here at AF, we are focusing on motivation, mental health and well-being. It can be so easy to just shove everything in, close the door, and forget all about it. These spaces are infamous for disorganization. Ignoring a problem until it goes away is an unhealthy solution, no matter what area of life we’re talking about - yet that’s typically the norm when it comes to closet and cupboard storage.
This week I’d like to focus on the area of the household that can be most prone to chaos: cupboards and closet space. The idea of completely decluttering and revamping your household can be daunting, but I promise you that it’s not impossible and it’s completely worth it. You can have a beautiful home, but if it’s cluttered with papers, small appliances, and chachkies, you will never be able to appreciate the design! So many of us struggle with the seemingly unsolvable problem of simple organization and cleanliness. This mantra is widely accepted but rarely acted upon.
