<p>Treating ourselves to a satisfying moment doesn’t always need to be grand or outrageous. There are always simple actions we can make to nurture our mind, body, and spirit, that can be found in the little things we do inside our respective homes. We can vibrate this positive energy through organizing our spaces, turning it into comfortable homes for a harmonious life.</p><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:950px"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img loading="lazy" src="https://assets-metrostyle.abs-cbn.com/prod/metrostyle/attachments/de7649e7-9da6-4cc1-900e-6274cde286d0_jason-briscoe-grdjp16cpk8-unsplash.jpg" style="width:950px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" alt=""/></span></span></div><p>When we think of rearranging our home, what goes into our heads is the cost of expenses for the renovation. To be clear, a well-organized room doesn&#x27;t always mean throwing everything away or decluttering unused clothes, only because you want to achieve this aesthetic peg on the internet. The habit of change can start with tiny details, like cleaning your study or work table, folding your clothes, or even washing the dishes.</p><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:950px"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img loading="lazy" src="https://assets-metrostyle.abs-cbn.com/prod/metrostyle/attachments/9e56ca4c-61bc-438f-b3b4-17d97c0898ba_thought-catalog-nv-vx3kur2a-unsplash.jpg" style="width:950px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" alt=""/></span></span></div><p>Most of us are guilty just tossing our stuff around. This attitude can, if not all the time, lead to a disturbed, messy day both physically and mentally. The items scattered on the floor or beside the cabinet might affect our focus and productivity levels. Imagine waking up to a bright day at work and suddenly you can’t find your car keys because (probably) you tossed them somewhere in the living room rather than hanging them on your wall-mounted rack. </p><div><br/></div><p>So does it imply that we need to be cleaning and organizing our stuff every single minute? Absolutely not! That&#x27;s far from reality. We are all human beings. We also get tired, have low days, and not feel okay sometimes, which is totally normal. As they say, it&#x27;s okay to not be okay.</p><div><br/></div><p>Having a well-organized home means enjoying our spaces and feeling warmth where our minds are at ease during our rest days. It can be maintained by doing small chores regularly. As long as you stay consistent, the improvement of neat spaces will become noticeable over time.</p><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:950px"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img loading="lazy" src="https://assets-metrostyle.abs-cbn.com/prod/metrostyle/attachments/3a4323fd-c1ce-4329-a5ef-1b09fc4dbc87_jason-briscoe-aql-j19ocwe-unsplash.jpg" style="width:950px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" alt=""/></span></span></div><div><br/></div><p>Here are the benefits of organizing your home regularly:</p><div><br/></div><div><strong>Reduces Stress</strong></div><p>When our home is in order, our mind, body, and spirit tend to be the same. With items properly arranged in one place, we know exactly where to find what we need and can easily declutter items that are no longer useful. Disorganized spaces can drain our energy, as we might waste time deciding whether to cook dinner first or clean the living room. However, when we leave our home tidy on the weekend, we can simply cross the threshold and relax as we glide through the mess-free zone during our occupied days.</p><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:950px"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img loading="lazy" src="https://assets-metrostyle.abs-cbn.com/prod/metrostyle/attachments/a362c607-385b-4204-a304-6a6e5af0e9c4_galina-kondratenko-mr1yj0e3jai-unsplash.jpg" style="width:950px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" alt=""/></span></span></div><div><br/></div><div><strong>Radiates Positivity</strong></div><p>Every time we want to meditate or clear our minds, a well-organized home can help us feel that positive energy flowing within our environment. When the kitchen is arranged properly, we don’t have to worry about unexpected visitors. A tidy home also projects positive energy to our neighbors, vibrantly influencing them through redirecting good emotion and soft gestures.</p><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:950px"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img loading="lazy" src="https://assets-metrostyle.abs-cbn.com/prod/metrostyle/attachments/f5e1f430-0c43-42d2-8aba-b03ed6f01ffe_photoholgic-mqnyusb_ne4-unsplash.jpg" style="width:950px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" alt=""/></span></span></div><div><br/></div><div><strong>Promotes Self-Growth</strong></div><p>Be proud of yourself for doing small things; you’ve now learned to become more independent. Simple tasks like rearranging your spaces, learning how to cook, or replenishing your fridge with groceries are significant achievements. These changes might not be noticeable at first, but as we get used to them, we’ll see how positively they impact our spaces, mind, and soul in the long run.</p><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:950px"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img loading="lazy" src="https://assets-metrostyle.abs-cbn.com/prod/metrostyle/attachments/c7aab7d9-b537-4e75-b610-725c5fd49dba_toa-heftiba-yz4vf6x0w3m-unsplash.jpg" style="width:950px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" alt=""/></span></span></div><div><br/></div><div><strong>Creates Motivation</strong></div><p>We are all human beings, and there are times when we feel low and seek motivation in life. If our rooms have pleasant corners where sunlight nurtures us, it can provide the motivation we need for the day. Always start your day by making your bed. This small gesture is an accomplishment at the beginning of your week, A first step to move forward on channeling our inner spirit to become more productive at home or, at the office.</p><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:950px"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img loading="lazy" src="https://assets-metrostyle.abs-cbn.com/prod/metrostyle/attachments/09ea2a52-24f1-4134-9394-4a4a8252c20e_thisisengineering-txxifuqlbkq-unsplash.jpg" style="width:950px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" alt=""/></span></span></div><div><br/></div><div><strong>Saves more time </strong></div><p>Our days are not always perfect, and we understand that. Busy days inevitably come at least once or twice a week, but having our things arranged properly can save a lot of time. Creating a simple routine can help us conserve effort in our daily tasks, such as ironing uniforms before a big day, preparing clothes in advance, or planning breakfast for the next morning. This helps prevent last-minute cramming and avoids a chaotic day. Each morning, you&#x27;ll feel more optimistic and you&#x27;ll get your errands done effortlessly.</p><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:950px"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img loading="lazy" src="https://assets-metrostyle.abs-cbn.com/prod/metrostyle/attachments/3b6ae4aa-a521-4e17-9a25-a02682faa58f_bruce-mars-wbupcqiweua-unsplash.jpg" style="width:950px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" alt=""/></span></span></div><p>To put it simply, when everything is arranged, our minds can relax, making it easier to take on additional tasks when we get home. Imagine walking into your room without tripping over a pile of laundry, with the scent of aromatic flowers tickling your nose—it’s the perfect way to end a long, tiring day! You can comfortably sit on the couch, make a pot of tea, and watch your favorite show. Sounds beautiful, doesn’t it?</p><div><br/></div><p>Text by <strong>Ryan Claveria</strong></p><div><br/></div><div><strong>Related Story: </strong><a href="/wellness/mind-and-spirituality/4-unique-mental-health-tips-every-working-girl/38748" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">4 Unique Mental Health Tips Every Working Girl Needs In Her Life</a></div>
