5 Tips for Spring Cleaning your Home and Mind
This spring is the perfect time to take a break and reconnect with the things that make home special. It is the ideal time to refresh, rejuvenate, and reset, and it goes beyond merely redecorating – when the space around you feels good, your mood, productivity and mental wellbeing benefit too.
This spring, here are some easy tips to renew your home and mind:
1. Get Rid of the Mess to Clear your Mind
A clean, decluttered space has been shown to lower stress and help improve focus. Spend an afternoon cleaning out your cupboards, giving away things you don’t use, and making more room in your home. The more organised, spacious and light-filled the space around you, the more optimistic you will feel.
2. Welcome Nature into your Home
Plants, fresh flowers, and even sunny days can make you feel better and give you more energy. Add some plants to your living room and open your windows to let in fresh air. Incorporating nature into your home can personalise it while brightening your mood.
3. Make it a Family Activity
While you deep clean those carpets, your partner can tackle scrubbing the kitchen appliances, while the little one sorts out his cupboard. Spring cleaning doesn’t have to be a solo activity, and when doing it together, a household can share in the pride of a clean, tidy home.
4. Create a Maintenance Checklist
Inspect gutters, plumbing, and outdoor walls and roof for any winter wear and tear that needs repairing. A little maintenance now can go a long way in providing you with peace of mind and preventing costly repairs later.
5. Make a "Reset Corner"
Choose a quiet place in your home, such a cosy chair with a blanket, a journal on a side table, or even a space for yoga and meditation. Having a space to stop and think helps get your emotions and thoughts back on track.
