Having the assistance of a weekly housecleaning service can be a real emotional pick-up. Having a clean and organized home can lift depression by providing a more pleasant and comforting home environment and preserve your energy for other activities that can bring you enjoyment.
I was always able to keep up my home with pride . . . Until I wasn’t. I now have a weekly housecleaning and find it well worth the expense. I spend a lot of time at home due to frail health. My spirits are definitely higher with my home neat and clean.
Find time for a walk outside every day. People can feel undue fatigue simply due to inactivity and weakness. Especially when I feel sluggish I prode myself to engage in a walk. I always have more energy after a walk. Walking helps release natural endorphins that affect one’s mood. Put on a pair of tennis shoes, tie the laces, and head out the door for a short walk and see if it helps.
