Desire to “wash” things out and declutter - #26736
Sometimes when I do chores, I feel like it’s not just to keep things clean and tidy, but I also want to “wash” things out. Same with buying something, even if it’s something good and wanted, like a new tea, spices, or a pack of grains, I get this small wish to finish it soon and purge it. It doesn’t happen all the time, but this issue had been present since I was a kid. The thing is, when I actually “wash” things out, I don’t feel calm or grounded – just disgust. And when I try not to do it, I still sometimes end up doing it. I think it’s just a stress reaction (I also had some mild eating disorder issues before), it may sound like I’m going nuts, but I’m absolutely okay, just curious why this happens. Could this be from a Vata imbalance, like my brain is trying to feel grounded? And how can I deal with it so it finally stops?
