Combat the Post-Holiday Slump
After the festive season, returning to routine can be challenging. The so-called “January blues” often affect wellness and mood. Wecasa – the at-home mobile cleaning, wellness, beauty, and home services app – aims to raise awareness of how a clean home can promote calm, happiness, and better mental health.
Declutter for Mental Clarity
Post-Christmas, clutter can accumulate, making your home feel overwhelming. Lawrence Akpiruo, Wecasa’s cleaning expert, offers tips to help you start the year right with a tidy home:
A Healing Home is a Clean Home
Your home should be a haven of comfort and joy. Keeping it clean can help your mind relax and prioritise self-care. Hiring a cleaner or designating a weekly “cleaning day” can reduce anxiety and procrastination, providing mental relief.
Manage Clutter Effectively
Keeping clutter under control helps clear the mind. Adopt the rule of removing one item for every new item brought into the home. Selling or donating unused items can also help. Schedule a quarterly decluttering day to stay on top of it and reduce the mental load.
Make Cleaning Enjoyable
Transform cleaning and tidying from chores into enjoyable activities. Play your favourite music, podcast, or audiobook while cleaning to make the task enjoyable. A clean home can alleviate anxiety and stress, so find joy in the process and let your worries melt away.
Additional Tips for Beating the January Blues
Set Achievable Goals
Start the year with small, manageable goals. Achieving these can enhance your confidence and motivation. Whether it’s organising a specific room, setting a daily cleaning routine, or planning weekly wellness activities, small steps can lead to significant improvements in your overall wellbeing.
Incorporate Wellness Activities
In addition to cleaning, incorporate wellness activities into your routine. Wecasa offers a range of services, including massages, facials, and other treatments, to help you relax and rejuvenate. Scheduling regular wellness sessions can provide much-needed breaks and enhance your mental and physical health.
Stay Connected
The post-holiday period can feel isolating, but staying connected with friends and family can help. Plan regular get-togethers or virtual catch-ups to maintain social connections. A tidy home can also create a welcoming environment for guests, making socialising more enjoyable.
Prioritise Self-Care
Make self-care a priority. Whether it’s taking a long bath, reading a book, or enjoying a hobby, dedicating time to activities you love can improve your mood and reduce stress. Wecasa’s at-home beauty services can also provide pampering without the need to leave your home.
