Clutter and Cortisol: How a Clean Home Reduces Anxiety
Psychological studies have shown a direct link between high cortisol (stress) levels and a cluttered home environment. When our surroundings are chaotic, our brains have to work harder to process the visual information, leaving us feeling drained and anxious.
A clean home acts as a reset button for your mental state.
Improved Sleep: There is nothing quite like the feeling of fresh sheets and a tidy bedroom to induce deep sleep.
Higher Productivity: Without the visual reminder of "chores to do," you can focus better on work or creative projects.
Mood Booster: A bright, clean space naturally lifts your spirits.
Self-care isn't just bubble baths; sometimes, self-care is hiring help to clear the chaos so you can breathe easier.
