🧽 National CLEAN YOUR ROOM Day ORIGIN & HISTORY
Neither the founder nor the creative origin of this holiday has ever truly been established. We do know, however, that National CLEAN YOUR ROOM Day is celebrated on the 10th Day in May. Cleaning is an essential responsibility that promotes a healthy and happy life. I appreciate minimalist systems like RAFT (Read Act File Toss) and the Marie Kondo Method; I don’t like excess. There’s simply no need to have so much stuff which results in hoarding or at least being labeled a packrat.
Organization should begin in your bedroom. If you’re disorganized stop making excuses today and Marie Condo the things that don’t bring you joy. After all the things that don’t compliment you and have been collecting dust might be exactly what someone else needs. In a world full of too much stuff which leads to excess, start a butterfly effect by cleaning and clearing your room. Do the things you own and have accumulated over the years compliment your lifestyle and do you need them? If items aren’t practical and excessive it’s time to declutter the item from your rooms in your home.
Staying organized and having a hygienically clean home is good for our mental and physical health. Covid caused us to go into lockdown and we either learned to be homebound happy or we suffered. Even if you didn’t take steps to improve your quality of home life during COVID it’s never too late to start. Cleaning and decluttering the rooms where we live remains important. Being clean and organized de-stresses our mind and brings happiness.
