We know it’s often important to ask for help and speak up for our health needs—but that doesn’t mean it’s easy. Everyone’s experiences are different, and confidence can look different depending on where we are in our journey. We’re all in varying places, and that’s OK!

What area of your living space is the hardest for you to keep clean? The easiest?

It’s definitely not outlandish to say that there are certain parts of our homes that are easy to clean, and other parts that can’t stay tidy no matter what we do (or don’t).

From the kitchen to the bathroom, from a desk area to even that small corner in a bedroom or basement where everything just seems to pile up, there’s always a place (or three) that are easier to maintain than others!

What are those areas for you?

TRUE or FALSE: Having a clean space helps my mental health.

The places we frequent and hang out in — especially for those of us who spend a lot of time at home — can directly influence how we feel about ourselves. From a space’s accessibility, to the amount of clutter and how clean the environment is, all of those factors impact us not only physically, but mentally as well.

What are your thoughts? How does the cleanliness of your environment impact your mental health? Do you find a clean space to be helpful for you or does the pressure to keep things tidy negatively impact your mindset?
