The Stress Busting Power Of Cleaning
2

• When we talk about stress, were typically
  referring to the mental, emotional or physical
  tension that we experience when we deal with the
  strains of everyday life. This tension can often
  cause us to worry uncontrollably, or to feel sad
  and anxious, and while there are many ideas about
  how best to eliminate these feelings, research
  has shown that the simple act of cleaning may
  help us more than we may think.
• How cleaning can help redirect your thoughts
• When youre focused on cleaning, your thoughts
  are directed to the objects or areas that you
  wish to remove dirt and grime from, and assessing
  the situation takes your mind off your other
  worries.

• Once youve successfully removed the dirt and are
  happy with the result, you may find that just as
  you cleaned the dirty items or area of your home,
  you may apply the same techniques that you used
  to achieve this, to help eliminate worry and
  strain from your mind.
• Physical activity can revitalize a tired,
  stressed mind
• Physical exercise has long been thought of as a
  remedy for alleviating stress, and while cleaning
  your home may not require the same physical
  energy levels as a marathon or a session at the
  gym, if it gets your heart rate going, then it
  counts as exercise.

• All that your heart needs, is to increase its
  rate enough for you to burn calories, and free up
  some of those feel-good endorphins that have been
  hiding away. Playing music while you clean is a
  great way of helping you to keep the pace up, and
  to whizz through your cleaning chores, raising
  the levels of endorphins to dizzying heights!
• How getting rid of clutter can bring order to
  your mind
• When your home or workspace are cluttered and
  untidy, your mind can often begin to feel the
  same way, leading to feelings of anxiety or
  confusion. Not only can you not find the things
  youre looking for, but you may find it hard to
  relax or be comfortable in your surroundings.

• De-cluttering the zones that are most frequently
  used by you, need not be a goliath task, and even
  if you remove or store away one item at a time,
  thats better than nothing and youll quickly
  find yourself wanting to eliminate more as you
  begin to feel better within yourself.
• With the clutter gone, your mind will become
  focused again and your concentration levels will
  greatly improve. This alone can help you feel
  less stressed and anxious, and your commitments
  and priorities will be crystal clear.
• By simply carrying out some everyday cleaning
  tasks, youll find that you can vastly improve
  your mental and emotional resistance, and as a
  result of that, youll doubtless go on to reap
  some life changing rewards.
