So far, I've cleaned and completely reorganized the kids' play room. Still need to wash windows but everyone was hungry.

What do you do?

When I have nervous energy I will clean, paint, cook, bake or do stuff outside.
But the number one thing that I will do is clean the whole house.

I clean when I'm nervous or bored.

If I'm stuck sitting in a nervous situation I pick at the skin on my neck right above my collar bone. Bad I know, but I fiddle with necklaces, but if I'm not wearing one (like most of the time) then I pick at my neck.

Purge and reorganize. We're pretty much down to the bare bones around here. My five year old accuses me of throwing her things away. Everything is well organized. Sometimes I clean but I usually have already finished that when I get the nervous energy burst.

Excellent question.

With nervous energy.. I stop and reevaluate whats making me nervous. Deal with those issues and then move on. No reason to store up negative (which I think nervousness is) energy. Let it go.

I tend to compulsively clean when I dont want to deal with certain emotions. Its hard to NOT do that... so my house stays pretty clean. LOL
