Spring is in the air! Use your new weather energy to get the most of your health. The warmer season is the perfect time of year to de-clutter, physically and mentally.
Deep cleaning your bathroom, organizing your closet and tossing out old food from your pantry does more than give you a sparkly, clean environment…it is a paradigm change for your healthy lifestyle. For those of you that ditched your New Year’s resolution back in February it is a fresh opportunity to make new permanent changes that can lead to better health. And it can all start by bringing out the cleaning product.
The pile-ups of papers and clothes can create anxiety just by looking at the clutter. Shape your environment to shape yourself by:
- Creating a cleaning schedule the way you would your gym appointments. When you have something on the calendar you will be attentive to your de-cluttering mission.
- Focusing on one area at a time. Once one room is tackled take a break so you don’t feel overwhelmed. Just like weight loss, you have to shed a little at a time.
- Get into the habit of recycling. Reducing your amount of waste may not directly improve your health but it does support a healthy lifestyle and can help you feel good about yourself. We are all for mental boosts!
Still feel like you have so much to do and don’t know where to start? Follow these tips from HealthDay TV:
