Self Care : Cleaning my home is therapy to my inner peace!

Decluttering My Home (and my emotional baggage)

• You know what’s better than a face mask and a bubble bath?

• A clean room that doesn’t look like it’s been hit by a tornado.

• For some of us, cleaning is more than just chores — it’s therapy in motion. It’s putting chaos back in order, one sock at a time.

• There’s something powerful about blasting your favorite playlist, feeling empowered, cleaning and decluttering your home. You start out just picking up a few things... then suddenly you’re rearranging furniture and questioning the entire look of your home. Just feeling the joy of knowing there is no longer a laundry pile on the floor and that you can invite friends and family to hang out.

• Cleaning your home is another form of self-care, inner peace, and a workout all rolled into one — and best of all, it’s free.

• If you can afford it, hire a cleaning service. This will save you so muched time to do other things, that can also help you on your self care journey.

The Self-Care Cleaning Tips

Put on your favorite playlist or podcast and let the transformation begin:

• The “Floor” Clean-Up
  Gather all the clothes off the floor. Make separate piles: Laundry, “Unsure,” and “I swore I lost this.”

• Make Your Bed Like You're in a Hotel
  Fluff your pillows. Straighten that comforter. Treat yourself to some luxurious bed sheets. Add a whitenoise machine that plays calming music.

• Surface Wipe-Downs = Instant Serenity
  Wipe off your nightstand, desk, kitchen counters and any surface you keep avoiding eye contact with.

• Light a Candle, use essential oils or Open a Window
  Pick your vibe: cozy fall spice, calming lavender, or just “fresh air because what even is that.”

• Declutter Like a Minimalist on a Mission
  Say goodbye to random receipts, expired coupons, that one sock with no match. Let all of them go. You would be so proud of yourself.

• Vacuum/Sweep/Dust
  Yes, we’re going full grown-up now. Put on your playlist and mop those crumbs from under the bed. You know that they are there.

• Power Move: Rearrange Something
  A plant. A lamp. Your entire furniture layout. Change is good, OK

• Final Step: Sit Down & Admire Your Beautiful Home
  Lightly collapse into a clean luxurious bed. Soak in the vibes. You get bonus points if you journal or sip something fancy while doing absolutely nothing.

Final Thoughts

Cleaning your home isn’t just about cleanliness — it’s an act of self-love, a reset button for your brain.

It's a quiet reminder that you deserve to live in a space that makes you feel safe, calm, and fabulous!

So next time someone asks how you're practicing self-care, feel free to say, “I love my home and love myself again.” (contains affliate links)
