54% of Americans feel overwhelmed by the amount of clutter they have, says the National Association of Professional Organizers (NAPO).
When your physical and mental space is cluttered, stress takes over.
With spring around the corner, it is the perfect time to declutter your home or office to improve your mental health.
Here’s Jaya Jaya Myra’s 3 spring cleaning tips to help reduce stress and anxiety brought on by clutter:
Tip #1: Start Small
Maybe it’s your desk or the room you spend the most time in. Commit to keeping your primary work or living area clean and clutter free. Once you do this it will become easier to tackle those other places that need more work.
Tip #2: Prioritize Positive Emotions
If something you have doesn't make you feel good, for any reason, get rid of it to make space for something that does. This could be a piece or art, furniture, clothes, dishes, or just about anything. The stuff we have becomes a trigger for different emotional states, so when you choose to only have things around that evoke happiness or contentment, you create that in your life.
Tip #3: Breathe
Even cleaning your space can be daunting, so take a moment to breathe deeply and focus on the space you want to create for yourself. Breathing is connected to good mental health and lowering stress levels, so take a deep breath or ten before you start. It will help you focus and get motivated.
