Being busy

 

Manual tasks give your brain structure and quiet

Cleaning, organizing, repetitive physical tasks — these do something specific:

They turn off the “default mode network.”

That’s the part of the brain responsible for:

  • rumination

  • looping thoughts

  • self-criticism

  • anxiety spirals

  • depression thoughts

When you do physical repetitive actions, your brain literally quiets down.

You weren’t imagining that relief — it’s neurological.

Your system goes from:

❌ chaotic, loud, overwhelmed
to
✔️ structured, rhythmic, predictable

And predictable is soothing when life has felt unpredictable for a long time.
