Life is always full of stress these days. How do you usually solve your stress? Do you know doing housework is helpful in solving stress? In fact, doing something like washing dirty clothes may really make people relaxed. “Doing some housework such as folding clothes or cleaning the room is a good way to face our stress without taking any medicine,” says Carol Clark, a successful psychologist(心理学家) in New York. She often advises people who are under lots of stress to try doing housework every day. “While washing something,” she says, “you can imagine you're washing away some trouble in your life.”
