So guys, in search of what to write about, I decided to check the community to see the writing prompts for this week and I saw the prompts on friendship, sleep and cleanliness. Honestly guys, all these prompts resonates well with me but I just had to go with one and so I decided to go with that of cleanliness.

Cleanliness is next to godliness is one of the age-old adages and apparently, in this adage lies a deep rooted truth about the importance of a tidy environment in our lives. The truth is that in the midst of all the hustling and bustling of this modern life, there is this challenge we will definitely encounter when it comes to finding a balance between clean surroundings and a relaxed approach.

The question now is how do we maintain cleanliness without yielding to the pressures of constant tidying? How does our environment affect our productivity reflect our personality, creativity, and even our sense of well-being?

I live alone since I am not yet married and I am always busy with work, leaving the house by 7am and coming back around 7am. I think I can only embrace a more relaxed approach to cleanliness in this scenario since it will be so difficult for me to constantly tidy the house right? Don't get me wrong please, this is totally not about neglecting cleanliness but rather it's about finding a harmonious balance where my space remains clean without the need for me to clean it constantly.

My house is my haven and this is because I see it as a place I can find peace of mind in the midst of all the chaos happening in the world today. The cleanliness of my environment matters alot to me and to my wellbeing eben though I don't constantly tidy up my house. There is this impact I get on my mood and productivity every time I walk into a clean and organized environment. Same way a very neat and arranged environment has a way of creating a sense of calm and clarity which always allows me to focus on the tasks I have at hand.

Now, whether I am tackling a work project or I am indulging in something creative, I have come to realise that a clean environment has a way of promoting a conducive atmosphere that will create room for me to be inspired and innovative.

I read somewhere that cleanliness helps our mental and emotional wellbeing and judging from experience, I would say the writer of that write up is totally right because it has been proven that a clean environment has a way of promoting a sense of pride and accomplishment, same way it boosts our self-esteem and overall happiness. I also found out that a clean environment reduces stress and anxiety, the same way it provides a sense of control and order in our world that's filled with chaos.

Please don't quote me wrong, I am not saying that our environment need to be 100percent neat and this is why I feel that embracing a relaxed approach to cleanliness will actually give us room for comfort. Remember, it's all about striking a balance between tidiness and homeliness.

The truth remains that our environment reflects who we are and so, regardless of our preferences, what really matters most is that our surroundings contribute to our overall sense of well-being.

I feel that embracing cleanliness doesn't really have to be a constant battle. I believe that when we end up finding a balance between tidiness and relaxation, we can be able to create environment that will nurture our productivity, creativity, and sense of well-being. So whether we're constantly tidying or we are embracing a more relaxed approach, what truly matters is the impact of a clean environment on our lives.
