Wow!
Hi again. Missed a few days. I have been so freaking busy cleaning house due to a housing inspection. Perks of living in an affordable living apartment complex lol I get so nervous when people come into my home. I feel like I’m always being judged for what I wear, what I do, and especially how I live. Even make things look like they have never been touched 😂 I may not even be selected to do a look around but to be sure, I even requested the day off. I’m going to triple mop floors and vacuum. I hate knowing someone may come in. Back in the day, I had an ex husband who used to grow mariujana in our home and everytime there was an inspection I would FREAK OUT which is totally understandable. I hate it. There is nothing wrong with the way I live but I still get major anxiety. I just can’t wait for Tuesday to be over!!! Any tips?
Housing inspections can be nerve-wracking experiences that induce stress and anxiety. Many individuals feel the pressure of being judged based on their living conditions, often resulting in extreme cleaning rituals and preparation. This overwhelming sense of scrutiny can remind some of past experiences, which may add to the anxiety surrounding such inspections. To cope with these feelings, it’s essential to recognize that a home is a personal space, and everyone has their own unique way of living. It's important to remember that a housing inspection is a routine process meant to ensure safety and maintenance rather than a critique of personal choices. If you find yourself in a similar situation, here are a few tips: Start your cleaning process early instead of leaving it until the last minute to minimize stress. Consider involving a friend for support, and utilize checklists to keep track of areas that need attention. Practicing mindfulness and deep breathing exercises can also help calm your nerves before and during the inspection. Remember, you are not alone in feeling anxious about housing inspections, and sharing your concerns with others can be incredibly beneficial.
