This is a terrific coping skill that I hear from many of my clients. If you are feeling stifled by life, maybe disordered, mentally and/emotionally cluttered if you will, try cleaning or organizing your living space. This can be pleasant and revitalizing. Not only does this serve to give you a nice “livable” living space and can also be a neutral, mindful activity that you can anchor your attention on for a while. If you find that cleaning or tidying has been a go-to coping mechanism for you, you are right on target!
