Is cleaning stressful or therapeutic for you? Why?

Fabulous CoachBehavioral Science AssistantRecommended AnswerAI Summary

Cleaning can be both stressful and therapeutic, depending on your mindset and approach. For some, it serves as a form of meditation, providing a sense of control and accomplishment. Establishing a routine around tidying up can transform it into a meaningful daily ritual that promotes clarity and reduces anxiety. Consider stacking this habit with enjoyable music or mindfulness practices to enhance the therapeutic benefits. Ultimately, finding joy in the process can lead to lasting healthy habits and a more organized space.

Therapeutic. I got used to spring cleaning while growing up. So whenever I need to distress I just clean my space and my mood is improved afterwards. I can never, ever be comfortable with a dirty surrounding. It’s even more depressing for me

When I have to do it, because I have been stalling it’s stressful, because I truly hate some of the house chores. Big when it’s clean again it’s such a relieve. When I keep up and do my routine cleaning it’s therapeutic.
