Answer: Cleaning
Clues: “Bubbles” and “Sweep”
A survey revealed that 98% of participants say cleaning improves their mood. 96% reported feeling better after cleaning or even just walking into a freshly cleaned space. Nearly half said they always clean to feel better. Of those who do the cleaning themselves, 99% consider it a form of emotional support or stress relief.
On average, participants experienced a higher “Feel Good Index” score during cleaning than during their chosen feel-good ritual. For instance, one participant saw a 54% mood boost when mopping versus eating ice cream, while another recorded a 31% higher “Feel Good Index” while cleaning than when watching their favorite videos.
