When you’re feeling a little stressed and down in the dumps, just 20 minutes of brisk cleaning can help! According to RealAge.com, cleaning can help reduce symptoms of depression and stress levels by up to 20 percent.
Whether it’s vacuuming, dusting, ironing, organizing clutter, washing the floors or cleaning the kitchen, taking care of messes will help you feel more organized and less stressed in your home. When you take control of messes and clutter in your home, you are, in a way, removing clutter from your life.
And if the thought of cleaning the house stresses you out as it is, RealAge reports that any physical activity of 20 minutes or more can have a similar positive effect. Why? When you increase your physical activity, your stress level decreases – and this has a positive impact on your overall mood.
