For many, the arrival of spring in March creates an urge to clean.

Anna Batsakes, a Board Certified Health & Wellness Coach and Health Education Specialist with LIVE FOR LIFE, Duke’s employee wellbeing program, said that this time of year is often when thoughts turn to renewal, so the desire to clean dirty or cluttered spaces and refresh your physical surroundings makes sense.

“Spring is a time for planting seeds and growth, you need room for that,” Batsakes said.  “Just like cultivating a garden, you want to clear out the old so that you can plant the new. You want to clear out stagnant energy and stagnant thoughts so that you can make way for new thoughts and opportunities.”

Batsakes, who leads LIVE FOR LIFE’s 15-minute Mindful Moment webinars each Tuesday, often helps people looking to make positive changes in their lives. She suggested that when it comes to keeping your home clean, it can be beneficial to enlist help, if you can, through professional cleaning services.

“We’re under so much pressure, there’s so much to do, and we don’t always have the mental space and emotional space to get through the day, let alone make change in our lives,” Batsakes said. “Cleaning and getting organized helps conserve your mental and emotional resources as well as your time resources, which are all important if you want to cultivate your best self. Hiring professionals to help you create this sense of calm and order can help free up even more space and time in your life to devote to the things you value.”
