Just as there have been many studies conducted on how mess negatively impacts us, there have been an equal amount of studies conducted on the benefits of a clean room and how cleaning positively impacts our moods.

As it turns out, if a messy house makes us feel out of control, picking up makes us feel a sense of mastery and a feeling of being in control. Similarly to exercise, cleaning releases a surge of endorphins that helps stabilize our mood and calms the mind. 

While this one to one comparison might seem obvious, there are other less obvious reasons why cleaning your room is so important for overall health.
