As the snow melts and the flowers begin to bloom, many of us look forward to experiencing
warmer weather and brighter, longer days. 36 While the act of sorting and dusting aren’t
necessarily fun, getting the house cleaned and organized is good for your mental health for several
reasons.
37 Spring cleaning is an example of what psychologists refer to as “temporal
landmarks”. Those are the moments in the time that signify a change, like a new term at school.
A well-organized or redecorated living room might help your brain make that shift that you’re
entering into a new phase of the year. 38 Cleaning your house is a great way to achieve
that. After all, you might not be able to control the price of groceries, but you can control how
organized your desk is. And while you can’t control the weather, you can control how comfortable
your home feels.
It may set other good habits in motion. 39 Gettig your house in order may motivate
you to get other areas of your life in order. You might feel inspired to get more exercise now that
you’ve removed the stuff on your treadmill(跑步机), or you might go to sleep earlier because
your room feels more peaceful.
It can improve social life. If you’ve ever felt uneasy about the condition of your home to let
anyone come inside, you’re not alone. 40 However, a cleaner space might help you feel
more comfortable about opening your home to others.
A. It signals a fresh start.
B. Good habits can have a snowball effect.
C. You may experience anxiety when focusing on things you can’t control.
D. We feel best when we take charge of the things that we do have control over.
E. Spring cleaning is the practice of thoroughly cleaning a house in the springtime.
F. But this season can also bring with it a sense of anticipation for spring cleaning.
G. Sometimes, the embarrassment of a messy house keeps people from hosting dinner
parties.
