If you’ve been spending a lot of time at home lately during the pandemic, maybe you’ve decided to tackle some cleaning and organizing projects you’ve been meaning to get to.
Reorganizing can be a fun activity to keep us busy, but did you know there are many deeper benefits to an organized home that can enhance your overall health and wellness? Read on to find out what some of them are.
1. Reduce stress and anxiety.
There could be emotional health benefits behind tidying up your home. In fact, according to Psychology Today, cleaning and organizing your home can ultimately help relieve anxiety in some cases. When your home is disorganized and things feel out of order, it can make many people feel frazzled.
While a messy home can tend to make people feel scattered, a clean home can aid in promoting feelings of relaxation, tranquility, and peace.
Symbolically, decluttering can mean you’re letting go of extra baggage and therapeutically discarding all that no longer serves you.
2. Get a better night’s sleep.
Your bedroom should be a serene sanctuary where you go to recharge and rejuvenate at the end of each day. If your surroundings are filled with clutter, this may interfere with your ability to sleep well if the mess is bothering you and making you feel disheveled.
If your stress and anxiety has been relieved, there’s a chance you may get a better night’s sleep if there is less on your mind.
3. Focus better while working from home.
If you’ve been working remotely from your home office recently, it should be a space you want to spend time in – a spot that promotes productivity and calmness.
Remaining organized while working from home can be tough, but making the effort to regularly tidy up your workstation can help you cultivate positive changes.
An organized workstation will allow you to find your paperwork more easily, letting you complete your tasks quickly and efficiently.
4. Decrease allergens in your home.
Do you feel unwell when your home isn’t clean? You’re not alone. An untidy home can trigger or worsen allergies if there’s a lot of dust or the presence of mold. Allergens such as dust and mold can make you feel miserable in your own home, but it can be avoided.
What can you do to allergy-proof your home? The Mayo Clinic suggests, “Remove items that collect dust, such as knickknacks, tabletop ornaments, books and magazines. Store children’s toys, games and stuffed animals in plastic bins.”
5. Help those in need.
Helping others can make you feel really good about yourself, enhancing a positive mood and mindset.
Junk removal companies often donate items to churches and organizations. If you’re having a tough time parting with belongings you no longer use, just think about how you could help someone in need!
