| Decluttering is a lifestyle choice that offers many benefits far beyond just a tidy home. You may know of some of the basic benefits like more space and more time but here are 5 ‘surprising’ declutterring benefits: #1. Your overall health will improve. Lots of ‘stuff’ means lots of dust. Decluttering will allow you to clear surfaces and floors so that you can better clean those areas and remove any allergens that have been building up there. #2. You’ll have more daylight in your home. Decluttering reduces feelings of shame associated with clutter. Opening up your window coverings again is going to let in daylight and make those areas feel welcoming and spacious. #3. Your relationships will improve. Clutter can cause stress which can lead to relationship conflicts. Decluttering allows you to be more in control of your surroundings and reduces your anxiety so you can be more present with your loved ones. #4. Your sleep will improve. Clutter can weigh you down and fence you in due to the guilt associated with not tackling it. Having a decluttering plan will help reduce these feelings of lack and create more peaceful surroundings. #5. Your creativity will increase. Decluttering helps unburden your mind by minimizing distractions and encouraging more focus. Calmer environments allow you to think creatively and problem solve more easily which inspires solutions and fresh ideas. Studies continue to show that less is more. By embracing an increasingly simplified life you will be able to focus on what truly matters – like personal growth, connection with others and a more meaningful life in pursuit of your dreams and goals.
