Share your top three cleaning hacks.

Who doesn't love a good hack?

Whether it’s a tool you've bought to make the process more accessible, a method you've learned that makes the process quicker and easier, or a routine or schedule that makes cleaning gentler on your health symptoms, share what your top three cleaning hacks are in the comments below! ⬇️

Mighty staffer @sparklywartanks says she cleans best later in the day after she takes a nap and has more energy. She also listens to her favorite playlist to help the time go faster as well as starts off by organizing any clothes to give her more room for her other tasks.

What physical symptoms do you experience in relation to your mental health?

Mental and physical health go hand in hand, so when you’re experiencing mental health symptoms, physical symptoms may show up as well.

For me, when my depression feels heavy, I experience extreme fatigue. When I’m really anxious, I tend to feel nauseous and scattered, making it hard to focus.

What about you?

What area of your life could benefit from a change in pace or routine?

Hi Mighty friends! 🌻

Self-care has been on my mind a lot lately, especially because I haven’t been feeling well. I’ve realized that there are areas of my life I’ve been neglecting. For me, I think my routine around prioritizing spirituality and taking breaks needs to shift. It’s really important that I consistently make space for both, and I haven’t been doing that as effectively as I’d like.

Is there an area of your life where a change in pace or routine might help?

Feel free to share your thoughts and insights! 🩵

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?
