Picture this
You’re having a bad mental health day and everything around you is a complete mess, with clothes all over the floor and you haven’t showered in a couple of days. You finally get the courage to clean the house and finish off with a lovely warm bath. Suddenly, you notice that your stress levels have gone down, you feel less anxious, and everything feels clear. Why is this?
Clutter predicts wellbeing
Throughout the years, there have been countless studies that emphasize the importance of maintaining an organised space, and the positive impact it can have on your mental health. A recent study by Rogers and Hart (2021) found that clutter and psychological home variables strongly predicted wellbeing. So, what can we take from this?
Prioritise yourself and your space
“Clutter is not just the stuff on your floor – it’s anything that stands between you and the life you want to be living.”- Professional organiser, Peter Walsh. Sometimes we undermine the influence our environment can have on our wellbeing. So maybe it’s time to make daily, weekly, or even monthly commitments to taking care of our body and space.
How?
With such busy lives, and organising taking up so much of our time, most of the time its left at the bottom of our to do list. However, less is more. Adopting atomic habits of cleanliness and self-care, which require little effort and motivation, are much more likely to last and be repeated. You might want to take one day off to just organise everything, and then the atomic habits you adopt will help you maintain your hard work. It’s all about maintenance. For an example, as soon as you get home, put your stuff away straight away to avoid the trouble of thinking about it later and, having it running through your mind alongside everything else.
