4 reasons you MUST make your bed everyday
Okay, so first of all, you should make your bed every day, no matter what, it is just a thing you should do like brushing your teeth. If you are a man or woman over the age of 18 you really need to make this a habit and here is why:
It’s just plain ugly- you wouldn’t go out of the house in a crumpled shirt and unbuttoned pants, and your bed shouldn’t either (not that your bed is going to go out in the world but you never know when someone may stop by unannounced!). Making your bed is kind of like the icing on the cake, even if the rest of your room isn’t in the best shape, having a made bed will make it look that much more presentable.
It will help your mental state. It’s true, it’s commonly known in Feng shui (which I LOVE- check out my other posts on the subject here and here) that an unmade bed translates directly into a cluttered mental state. I can personally vouch for this, I never leave the house without making my bed but sometimes my boyfriend does, and when I get home and find it that it’s been that way all day I usually look back and realize that I felt a higher than normal amount of mental disorganization that day.
It is a healthy and positive habit. I’m currently reading Power of the Habit by Charles Duhigg and that book is some seriously good stuff! It is SO important to create positive and healthy habits because they control and dictate so much of your life subconsciously. The right habits can get you to places you never dreamed possible. Let me also tell you the most successful people in this world certainly make their beds every morning!
It just feels great to collapse into a clean and neat bed at the end of a long hard day.
