SUMMARY:
– Unpleasant life circumstances can make you feel helpless. The best way to get over it is to do something that boosts your confidence in your powers. That’s when cleaning stops being a boring chore and turns into an activity that calms you down!
– Living in a messy environment can add stress to your life. But when you take the time to organize your stuff while cleaning, you do yourself a favor in the long run.
– Cleaning is just as good for letting out your energy and blowing off steam! It can also help you deal with the restlessness that you might feel when you’re anxious.
– Your brain asks for comfort food to deal with the stress that stems from untidy surroundings. So look around the next time you order pizza.
– Some people like cleaning because it’s a ritual. After a rough day, it helps them leave all the worries behind them and focus on a well-known activity.
– Don’t go to extremes like vacuuming your living room twice a day or getting irritated if you spot a few stains on your cooker.
– Several studies confirmed that chewing for even a few minutes can reduce anxiety and lower the level of cortisol, the “stress hormone.”
– Another activity that can ease your anxiety is knitting. Many people have reported the soothing effect of this hobby because of its repetitive nature.
– You might not be in kindergarten anymore, but coloring is definitely something worth trying if you need to chill out! Within the last decade, the popularity of coloring books for adults has soared.
