Lesson Overview

1.15 – Hygiene and Mental Health Connection: Hygiene and mental health influence each other deeply. When people feel anxious, sad, or overwhelmed, hygiene routines can be the first to slip. Yet maintaining them provides structure and comfort during chaos. Cleanliness releases stress by creating visible order and physical relief. Showering or brushing teeth can boost energy and self-esteem, reminding you that you still have control over your well-being. Routine acts become grounding tools, offering small wins on hard days. Neglecting hygiene may signal emotional distress that needs support. Recognizing this link helps you use self-care as a mental health strategy. A clean body often clears the path to a calmer mind, showing that hygiene is both physical and emotional resilience in action.
