Ever notice how someone will start aggressively sweeping when they’re upset?
That’s not just vibes.
It’s behavioral displacement.
🧠 When we feel emotionally overwhelmed, the brain shifts focus to a controllable task — like cleaning, arranging books, or scrubbing tiles with vengeance. 😤
It’s your brain saying:
> “I may not be able to fix my life… but this floor will SHINE.” ✨
Punch:
Stress turns us into part-time janitors.
