Clutter & Mental Health

Feeling stressed and anxious?  Struggling with procrastination?  It just may be your clutter to blame!  There is a lot of research that shows the negative impact of clutter on our mental health.  What is one small area of your house you can declutter today?  You will be so glad you did!

Hahah. This describes me. When I feel overwhelmed by everything. Doing a massive clean out right now. Trying to get my family on board. Only got one car load taken away and lots more to go. But already that felt so good.

Walking through with this as my daily reminder: less clutter = less stress + easy clean up. Thank you for your channel, Dawn! It’s changed my life coming from a hoarding childhood!

I have been watching your videos for years. All the things. Just last night the hubby says, "Today I realized that my brain gets as cluttered as the clutter on the flat surfaces."
Last night. After years of me saying the same thing. Just. Last. Night. 😅

You feel better shedding baggage and old seasons too. Autumn for the soul. 🍂💗

My husband can agree that since we decluttered and simplified our home I am much much less snippy. 😅

I don’t want to be a minimalist, but I do want less! I do procrastinate. But, I don’t know where to start. And making the decisions on what to let go, is overwhelming to me. I know I attach too much sentimental value to items. I have done one cabinet this spring and it felt so good!

Basically ADHD causes cluttered, which worsens ADHD symptoms, which worsens the clutter. It's a vicious cycle 😢

LOL I would just like to add sometimes this is correlation not causation. Lower socioeconomic status people tend to have more clutter for a variety of valid reasons. Just a disclaimer, minimalism is still an awesome tool!

I am not saying this can't be true.... But I am curious how the research was done. If they studied people whose homes are cluttered and found those characteristics, it could be that people who have higher stress and anxiety or difficulty with impulse control may have higher tendencies to collect clutter, rather than clutter causing the stress/anxiety/impulsivity.
