For me, cleaning isn't just a chore—it’s how I take care of myself and my peace of mind. There is a quiet joy in taking something chaotic and making it orderly, seeing an immediate transformation right before your eyes. When the world gets busy and my mind starts racing, grabbing a sponge or organizing a workspace becomes my ultimate reset button. It gives me a chance to unplug, zone out, and let my thoughts settle while my hands are busy. Maybe this is the reason for me to start this as a business.
Research shows that engaging in structured, repetitive behaviors during times of high anxiety acts as a psychological buffer, providing an immediate cognitive sense of control (Brooks et al., 2016).
A study published in Social Psychological and Personality Science found that the physical act of cleaning significantly reduces both the psychological and physiological effects of a stressful event, successfully lowering residual anxiety (Lee et al., 2022).
Grounding your mind in everyday, repetitive sensory experiences—like the smell of soap or the warmth of dishwater—helps break habitual stress cycles and reduces emotional distress (Worthen / StatPearls).
This is why I love what I do.
