Stressed? A Messy House Might be Preventing You from Relaxing
Taking the Stress out of Your Home Environment
Clean your house, free your mind: if your relaxation problems stem from a stressful home life, you probably need to focus on making your house a calm haven. This will take some up-front energy – the actual act of changing habits may not be particularly relaxing – but it has potential to pay serious mind-clearing dividends.
The first step is to consider your messiness level; most people find it hard to relax in a chaotic home. When you arrive from a long day at work, are there dishes piled up? Are clothes strewn throughout the bedroom? Adopt a house rule common to restaurant kitchens the world over: clean as you go.
