Spring Cleaning Can Boost Your Mood And Energy

This past weekend, it was gorgeous out, and I took out my backyard furniture, along with the pillows, and an umbrella for the deck.

Ok, maybe it was a little early for all that, with temperatures back in the 40s today, but it made me happy in the moment.

And now, when it finally does get a little warmer in New Jersey, I'm ready!

Spring Cleaning Brings Fresh Energy To Your Home

Coming home to a clean home is always the best. No dishes in the sink, the laundry folded and put away, and nothing on the floor, but when life gets so busy, it's hard to keep everything so organized.

That's why spring is a great time to reset, and, in fact, cleaning is good for our mental health.

“Spring cleaning can help boost our mood because it gets us moving. Physical activity releases feel-good chemicals like endorphins, which can increase energy and lift our moods,” said Kia-Rai Prewitt, PhD, a psychologist for the Cleveland Clinic.

That's a good reason to get cleaning!

Dr. Prewitt went on to say that a messy home can cause stress and anxiety.

Now is a good time, while it's still pretty chilly, to get rid of the stuff you don't need anymore, before the weather gets really nice and you want to spend any free time you have outside!
