My room has never been as messy as it is now. There are clothes spewed out all over the floor, and I am basically unable to determine clean from dirty. This may be strange, but looking at this mess is very intimidating. I do not know what part of my room to tackle first.
It is actually stressful to walk into a cluttered room every day. It makes it feel like you do not have space to live much less breath. As I begin to sort through the clothes, papers, pens and books thrown on my green carpet, I immediately want to stop cleaning. I know my room will be messy again in just a matter of days so whats the point? And this time, just like every other time, I push that thought out of my brain and keep cleaning.
45 minutes later, I stand by my door and look at my spotless room and automatically feel accomplished and relaxed.
I had never thought how good I would feel after simply cleaning up my own mess, a normal and common activity. A clean room makes things much easier. I can now study in my room, without feeling like I'm sitting in a laundry bin or just relax and not constantly have to be reminded of how sloppy I am.
Before truly thinking about how I would feel after I clean, straightening things up was always a chore for me. Something I dreaded doing because I knew it was counterproductive. Now, I still do not really enjoy the process of cleaning, but I know how much it can help in other aspects of my life instead of just having a clean place to sleep.
It does affect your mood when your room is a pigsty. Its very difficult to begin but after you have accomplished it, you feel at ease. It's very stressful in all aspects of life when your living abode is drastically messy. It seems like a difficult task but once you get started it's as easy as pie. I totally agree that when the deed is done your whole life seems less stressful and agonizing because it's easier to locate items that you need and you can actually see the floor.
