Whether you enjoy cleaning or not, it is actually good for your soul; literally. I personally love cleaning so much, that I clean my dorm room every day, and even clean my friends apartment (for fun). I know, I sound insane to most people, however cleaning can be therapeutic, and get this- good for your health.Â
According to an article on Huffington Post, written by Saudia Davis, "people with the cleanest homes are also the healthiest," said Davis. Yup, there's a direct correlation between health, and the cleanliness of your home. This is because houses can breed mold, bed bugs, and other undesirable things. Therefore, If you keep your home clean you will feel better and healthier about yourself on a daily basis.Â
Aside from the health benefits that I mentioned above, cleaning can be therapeutic. Personally, I enjoy cleaning when I am stressed, mad, and even sad. There is something really calming that comes with the loud music, dusting, vacuuming, organizing, and overall escape from life that comes with cleaning. If you do it right, it will take your mind completely off of whatever you're worrying about.
Lastly, a clean environment will aid in your organization and concentration skills. If you keep up a clean room and home, it will be easier to stay organized an on top of everything else you have going on in life. Everyone is different, but I know I study better, concentrate harder, and get a lot more stuff done when I have a clean environment.
All in all, cleaning is good for your soul. No one enjoys coming home to a sink full of dishes, unmade beds, a desk covered in papers, or clothes covering every inch of your floor. If you want to feel better about yourself and life in general, open up the windows, get some fresh air flowing, and clean your home.Â
