Spring cleaning is a common tradition of deep cleaning and decluttering your home as the weather gets warmer and the season changes. However, it’s not just our physical spaces that can benefit from a thorough cleaning; our mental health can also benefit from a spring cleaning. Just as we accumulate physical clutter over time, we also accumulate mental clutter and stressors that can weigh us down and impact our overall well-being.
