To Make Or Not Make the Bed

As you know, I'm a huge advocate of making the bed.

This week I was getting my Level II Certification in Narrative Therapy at the Evanston Family Therapy Center. One of the therapists spoke about a mother and daughter who were seeing her. The mother had many goals to discuss, especially her daughter's recalcitrance to making the bed. It turned out that the girl found comfort in returning home to her unmade bed. It made her feel cozy and safe.

If not making the bed makes you feel cozy and safe, don't make it. Otherwise...you know what to do.
