Hmmm, CLEANING!!!…. And a frown! If that is your expression, then cleaning to you means remove dirt. Let’s work on achieving a positive emotion in full enthusiasm, which is Yaayyy Cleaning!!! You must be thinking really and rolling your eyes, giggles. Common, how difficult can it be.
One approach that will work, in my opinion, is to reflect upon the benefits of cleaning your home. 90% of the time, the following don’t even strike us when we clean. Read and try to register the ones that seem encouraging in your subconscious mind. The subconscious mind is one of the most compelling inner forces which drive human behavior. In simple terms, that’s where the magic happens.
A treat for your eyes
Sight is the fastest sense among the five senses. Imagine closing your eyes and entering a space. Now, impressed by the aroma and in excitement, open your eyes. Your heart will sink to find the place unclean, and the perception of the space immediately changes. What you see has an impact on how good you feel. So, create a home that is a treat for the eyes. Let it send a wow signal to the brain to help release happy hormones.
Burn some calories
Engaging in household chores does burn a decent amount of calories. I can visualize the fitness trainers going NAH…, truth is an hour of daily errands goes a long way in reducing stay-at-home weight gain. Of course, for a perfectly shaped body, you might need fitness trainers and more. But if you are looking forward to staying active, healthy, maintain your body shape and weight, putting on the music to dance to, and cleaning equipment in hand is all you need.
Relieves stress (low cortisol)
Individuals in a clean home have low cortisol. Cortisol is a stress hormone. Although it is present in our body for all the good reasons, a constant high level has damaging effects. Both women and men seem to work long hours. In a world where everyone has to contribute equally towards finances and personal life, the stress is skyrocketing. Besides, life does not give us the luxury of a vacation often to unwind. Therefore make home a stress-reducing sanctuary.
Experience tranquility
Regardless of the state of mind, the very first thing one experiences entering a clean place is calmness. Even after an argument, a clean environment can help calm down quicker. Meditation centers, places of worship, art gallery and studio, library, holiday destination have great significance for cleanliness, and the tranquility is persistent. People spend money for peace of mind, but little do they understand the importance of a clean home.
Reduced Infections/allergies/Toxins
Unclean places gather microbes, molds, household chemicals, and dust. All these can cause health issues. Skin and your respiratory system get affected primarily. Over a period, this contamination can spread throughout your home. Being continuously exposed can lead to severe health conditions. Keeping a close watch and daily cleaning of areas such as kitchen, dining, laundry, and toilet can improve your health tremendously. Most importantly, dispose of food waste often.
Pest control
These uninvited guests can enter your home without your permission and live as they please, share space and food too. They are qualified to scare the hell out of anyone, lol. They seem like little beings but can be destructive and need not talk of their bites. To an extent, unnoticed till they visibly invade our personal space. Finally, there comes a time to call pest control when they become a nuisance. Why let things get that far. Regular cleaning is more than enough to keep a check on them. Most pests don’t enter and proliferate in clean spaces. Pet dander and bugs too can be managed with routine cleaning. While killing any living organisms is sad, I would want them in the wild and not in my house.
Odor control
Everything in the house can give out some odor. Cleaning the floor with a fragrant disinfectant, doing the laundry, doing the dishes, disposing of waste, and cleaning the toilet frequently, can mitigate odor. Proper ventilation throughout the house reduces odor to nil. Thou can’t enjoy fresh air if there is an odor.
Happy Social Life
Clean homes attract healthy social life. Family and friends visit often. They love to hang out in your space and look forward to the next lunch, dinner, festival, or house party. Cleaning is a primary requirement to make one feel comfortable and welcomed. Friends coming over by surprise is no concern, if, your house is maintained clean. Also, no worries if they bring kids along; it’s a safe space. The reduced hassle over the search for restaurants to hang out with, keep track of time, and order meaninglessly to stay a little longer.
Saves money
This is my favorite reason. Due to a clean home, there is no spending on cleaning services, on pest control, on expensive room refreshers, and appliances last longer. Above all these, medical expenses are under control. Even after saying all this, it would be unwise not to take a liking to clean. Having the time to spare, no allergies to dust or detergent bonus savings is the maid salary. Who does not want to see the numbers go high in their bank balance?
Preserves positive energy
Taking conscious efforts to remove the undesirable elements and mindfully measured the advantages of a clean space, you have set in motion a positive approach to life. Sustaining a clean home will be a constant resource for positive thoughts. Manifestation and augmentation of this energy can then lead one forward to a state of belief that any situation, obstacles, and difficulties will turn in their favor eventually.
Be the change you want to see in the world; begin with your home. Cleaning has so much to offer; get started and go Yaaayyy! Cleaning!!!…. In conclusion, squeeze in those 60 minutes for cleaning in your daily schedule. You don’t have to do it all at once but do cleaning chores every single day without fail. To procrastinate cleaning is calling for trouble.
