Start Your Day Right! Make Your Bed

Yes, it is as a simple as making your bed every day to create that sense of being organized which in turn lessens your stress.

How much time you put in to making your bed every day is up to you.

I like taking it all off (except for the bottom sheet) and placing back on layer by layer.  My reason for this is simple.  I like walking in my home with bare feet (in nicer weather its bare feet all the time) and everything settles on floors which means it's going to find its way onto the bottom of my feet and possibly into my bed.  By stripping down to the bottom sheet, I get the chance to remove the little thing that will drive me nuts when it is time to go to sleep.

I also like smoothing everything out, not so much as to have  something bounce back it me but more like giving myself time to focus on what is in front of me instead of what is ahead of me.  My calming mechanism to just be in that moment.
