Maybe be careful about this if you have serious anxiety though, otherwise that might be too overwhelming and paralyze you

Something that helps me clean is wearing specific cleaning clothes! I have an apron and I wear a bandana to hold back my hair. It’s weird how something so small can shift my mind into a different gear!
