It’s just one of those everyday chores that we often take for granted. However, did you know that simply making your bed every day can have a positive effect on your entire day?
Here’s why you should make your bed every morning…
It’s a new day to achieve new things
Starting a new day is another opportunity to start over and achieve your goals. It’s a clean slate and what better way to focus on yourself and your goals than straightening out your life (and your bed!)… In fact, we think making time for this simple chore can set the tone for your attitude toward success for the rest of the day! You’ll feel more in charge of things, more organized and more ready to go about the rest of your day with hope and goals in mind! It’s also a moment to clear your mind and prepare for the challenges of the day ahead instead of rushing out the door in a (half-asleep) frenzy.
No one wants to come home to an untidy bedroom
So you left the bed unmade, because no one really gets to see your bed all day, right?! mistake. After a busy day at the office, the last thing you might want to come back to is a disorganized bedroom and a messy bed! You deserve so much more. So make it a priority in the morning and you can head straight home to a cleaner space to kick back and relax without feeling overwhelmed by the chaos! Slip into new sheets and you won’t have to worry in the world!
It may improve your sleep quality
Making your bed can have real results! In fact, a National Sleep Foundation survey found that people who make their bed in the morning are 19 percent more likely to get a good night’s sleep each night.
Making your bed can make you more productive
Hear us out… According to Navy Admiral William McRaven, author of the book Make Your Bed: Small Things That Can Change Your Life…and Maybe the WorldIf you start your day by making your bed, it means that you can move forward with the rest of your day knowing that you have already accomplished something. “It will give you a small sense of pride and will encourage you to do another task and another task,” McRaven said in his 2014 commencement address at the University of Texas at Austin. “By the end of the day, this one completed task will turn into many completed tasks.”
It can help you build better daily habits.
Making your bed can become a positive habit that translates into your daily life. Like a domino effect, this positive practice leads to other positive choices throughout the day. Author Charles Duhigg explains in his bestselling book, The power of habit“Making your bed each morning is associated with better productivity, a greater sense of well-being, and stronger budget sticking skills,” Duhigg writes. “It’s not that a family meal or a made bed causes better grades or less frivolous spending. But somehow these initial shifts start a chain reaction that other good habits help cement.
