Unclutter Your Home To Help Unclutter Your Mind

• While it might be a frightening thought, one in
  five of us will experience a mental health issue
  at some point in our lives, and thankfully, a
  healthy mind is now considered to be as important
  as a healthy body. One important change we can
  all make in our lives to help combat a mental
  health issue and which requires no visit to a
  doctor or therapist is to unclutter our homes
  and our workspaces.
• How an uncluttered home can mean an uncluttered
  mind
• Studies conducted in recent years have
  consistently showed us that women with cluttered
  homes experience elevated levels of cortisol, the
  hormone most associated with stress.

• Untidy and cluttered living and workspaces often
  cause us to be over-stimulated mentally and to be
  plagued with worries about what we should be
  doing, but for whatever reason, are not doing.
  The clutter that were surrounded by leads us to
  be reminded about unfinished work or projects
  that we havent had the time or inclination to
  complete, and can unnecessarily occupy our mind
  spaces, leaving little room for other, more
  rational thoughts. If left untended to, excessive
  clutter can make the most basic of cleaning tasks
  become more difficult for us to even contemplate
  doing, let alone acting upon, and before we know
  it, our homes are dirty and cluttered.

• Other ways in which clutter can affect your
  mental state and life in general
• Did you know that a cluttered and untidy home,
  can even cause arguments and tension among loved
  ones? With that constant visual reminder that
  there is work that needs to be done and precious
  little time to do it in, friction can quickly
  occur between partners and other members of the
  household, from full-on rows to snapping, chiding
  and nagging, the potential for conflict is
  lurking around every corner in a cluttered home.
  If you recognize that the state of your home is
  having negative consequences for your personal
  relationships, try adopting a minimalist approach
  and encouraging your other family members to do
  the same.

• Minimal clutter should help reduce the workload,
  but its still important to tackle the other
  cleaning tasks that will need to be done
  regularly in order to achieve a harmonious home,
  such as laundry, dishes, vacuuming and dusting.
  When dishes build up in the sink night after
  night, arguments are bound to occur, so finding
  the time to complete the smaller but equally
  important tasks is essential. Decluttering will
  certainly be a start, but for a truly uncluttered
  mind, the whole home should be as clean and tidy
  as is reasonably possible.

• A good nights sleep can help cleanse the mind,
  so bedrooms should be conducive to this
• Its no myth that having a good quality period of
  sleep can help to relieve tension and enable us
  to think more clearly, so its important that the
  room we choose to rest in, is devoid of clutter
  and grime. Studies have repeatedly shown that
  those people who made their beds every morning,
  were more likely to achieve a good nights sleep,
  and with an uncluttered room to wake up to, the
  mind is already off to a good start before the
  day has even begun.
