Be honest, do you make your bed each morning? Till recently
the only reason I was making our bed was out of habit but
since I read Karen Miller's theory behind it, I look at that 3 minutes of my
morning in a whole different way.
Karen believes that "the state of your bed is the state
of your head." Isn’t that spot on? Also, according to Gretchen Rubin (author of The Happiness Project)
the whole process of fluffing your pillows and covers boosts happiness, as you start your day on a fresh note and you’ll
continue creating positive little changes in your life. Ha, who would have
thought? The one thing I know is that I really enjoy my bed making now and let’s
face it: what’s better than an extra few minutes between crisp fresh sheets, right? What do you think? xo
P.S: Remember this bedroom?

That is why I love your blog, you always make me enjoy the little things. Jill
ps: till now my husband always made our bed but from tomorrow, it is my turn.
Hahahahaha, I'm terrible at making my bed. Maybe I should change that?!
Elsa, my pleasure:)
My husband makes the bed every morning, it definitely makes the room look much more orderly.

Jill, you are the sweetest!!! And
Christianna, giggle - you should try it. It really works:)
Mal, aww...what a lovely husband:)
I always make my bed in the morning. I even just make my half if Glen is still asleep, which he thinks is crazy. ;-) But he state of my surroundings definitely affects my state of mind, so I like things to be neat and clean and organized. :-)
I agree! I can't be productive if my bed is in a mess. this is probably partly due to the fact that I'm a student and so I only pretty much have the one room to live in. And I do most of my homework on my bed! xx
I DO make my bed every morning. It makes me anxious when I know its a mess
I always make my bed! I was a very messy teenager and now I'm very tidy and neat. Hate to get home to a messy bed.
Oh I've always agreed with that idea! I make my bed every single morning. If the bed is pretty and set, then the rest of my day will start off on the right foot. :)
That's funny because there's not much I hate more than making the bed!! :p
Oh man, the state of your bed is the state of your head! What life changing words! I go through periods of bed making and then periods of complete slacking... lol it totally defines my life!
I am an avid bed maker. Always have been, always will be.

I totally agree with Karen! If my husband makes the bed I often feel a little annoyed that I didn't get to make it the way I like it... So I do confess I go about fluffing the pillows anyway!

I love this. I think it's totally worth it. It's a time, a ritual, that you can do every morning. A way you can add a certain neatness to your life and enjoy the comfort of it.

Stephanie, giggle:) I love your comment.
Monica:)
How interesting, Jess.
Sal, I love that! My friend Sofia does that too:)
Well, I guess i'm on the right track the, because I make my bed AND fluff mypillows everday, i even fluff the sofa ones!
This is so true! We make the bed most every morning. We like the teamwork.
So true! I'm going to put in an extra effort in the mornings now!
Me too, Patricia:) I am so happy that I am not the only one:)
Must have bed made....essential to feeling, made up.
If my hubby made the bed, I'd fall out of it giggling, he he.
He has helped on his end though.
