Did you know that tidying up makes you happy? It’s not us, it’s science. In such a critical period as the one we are living, it is important to find a balance. Small moments to dedicate to ourselves. To our mental and physical well-being. So, in this column, we have decided to tackle the following topic: what are the real benefits of tidying up our home environment? If you are interested in discovering the psychology and emotional mechanics behind this everyday, banal practice, you are in the right place. Today we feel a bit like psychologists, but always in our own field: real estate!
So if you’re ready, let’s get started!
The first thought that everyone has when cleaning their house is the following: burning calories. But in reality there is much more to it than that. In fact, as well as being considered a good form of exercise, tidying up your home makes you happy. First and foremost because tidiness reduces anxiety. Expert psychologists and psychiatrists have no doubt. Our bodies release endorphins and chemicals when we tidy our homes. These in turn generate a feeling of immediate well-being and help reduce anxiety. Regardless of the cause, anxiety is reduced when we are in a balanced environment. Tidy. Clean.
A major benefit of keeping your home tidy is improved concentration. Living in an orderly environment allows you to work or study with a greater sense of motivation. As psychologists say, “mental order generates physical order, and vice versa”. Particularly in this day and age, when smart working is all the rage, it is therefore of primary importance to satisfy this need for balance and inner peace.
Did you know that many people have become obsessed with cleanliness since the start of the pandemic? The fear of contracting the virus has made our being more and more vulnerable. So, the increase in cleanliness has been quite remarkable. But again, we want to remind you how important it is, also in terms of mental health, to keep your home tidy. Indeed, it is clutter that can often lead to the proliferation of bacteria and, in this case, contamination by viruses. Therefore, having a good habit of tidying up your home, as well as cleaning it, can contribute both to lowering the probability of contracting the virus, but also to mental serenity.
Last but not least. In fact, perhaps the primary benefit. The feeling of happiness after cleaning. Living too much time at home has also altered the family balance. For this reason, being able to keep every space tidy also guarantees a consequent feeling of happiness. This is because, in critical times such as these, every element can arouse nervousness. And you know that clutter is one of them. If each member of the family is committed to tidying up their space, happiness and serenity will be assured.
And you, are you ready to tidy up your home to be happy?
