Does Cleaning Have The Ability To Make You A Better Person?

Apparently, living or being in a tidy,decluttered, and clean home has the ability to turn you into a kinder and more empathic person. Plus, children who are given small and simple home chores are up to 65% more prone to turn into emphatic adults later on in life. Moreover, they are also up to 60% more likely to throw a hand at the people around them as young adults.

People who live in clean homes that are neatly tidied up and decluttered periodically become more productive and compassionate, and the catch is that if we personally contribute to the cleaning process itself, we are even more likely to turn into more candid persons.

Let's find out more interesting facts about the way something as apparently simple as cleaning a dirty carpet twice a week could help you improve yourself as a person.

Tidy Up and You'll become More Eager To Help Others

The catch is that the more involved and into decluttering you actually are, the more relaxing, beneficial, and pleasant you find the act of straightening up your home, the better. You will become a lot more eager to throw a hand at other people. How much more eager? Up to 57%. Take your time and assess the way scrubbing the wooden floors, decluttering the kids' room and the kitchen, vacuuming the carpets and wiping down the countertops make you feel. Which of these activities would you say you enjoy the most? If you are not really a big fan of carpet scrubbing and vacuuming, you could always do a briefflokati rug cleaning near me search online and rely on some expert hands and stick to doing those activities that you find most enjoyable instead.

As long as you can figure out those exact cleaning chores that you enjoy doing, you will experience pure happiness when doing them, and thus turn into a nicer person.

A Clean Home Makes You Feel More Relaxed

Just being inside your neat, tidy, clean, and well-organized home should automatically help you relax with more ease, experience lower levels of stress, and become more productive. If you also happen to work from home or you arerunning a home office, and you seem to be sometimes lacking the motivation or you are procrastinating doing your work, pick up your house a little more often. It should make all the difference!

Tidy Rooms, Better Learning Skills

Whether you are still in college and you are desperately looking for some ways to improve your study performance and make your sessions longer and more meaningful, or you are a parent, keeping your home clean and uncluttered should come in handy. How and why? Apparently, a neat and well-organized room that does not have clothes, toys, books, and other items lying around will help you find and keep your focus with more ease.

Plus, kids living in households that are thoroughly cleaned and well-kept are less likely to act out. Remember this next time you need to find a punishment for your children and you will be killing two birds with one stone.

Anyone who was born and raised in New Jersey (or anywhere really) knows of Bruce Springsteen, whether or not they like him is a whole other situation. I hope that his hundreds of classic rock songs and famous high energy performances, even in his sixties he can put on better concerts than people half his age, are at least recognizable to people of all ages. Love him or hate him (I identify with the former) you have to admit that some of his songs and interviews have inspirational quotes and lyrics.

New England Summers Are The BEST Summers

One thing that my experience has taught me, however, is that it is absolutely impossible to beat a New England summer.

You cannot beat the beach. Believe it or not (which many people may not), New England has a long and beautiful coastline. Most of my high school summers were spent sitting on the Wall at Hampton Beach, getting sunburnt and eating Acai bowls from The Secret Spot.

It’s not a New England summer without that 4 p.m. text from someone, “Who wants to meet at the Wall tonight?” Nighttime is for Tripoli’s Pizza, the sound of waves, and wishes on shooting stars. Wednesday nights are especially important, as those are the nights that Hampton Beach sets off the weekly firework display.
