Lifestyle - Mess Creates Stress

Decluttering – an instant tool for helping to restore wellbeing

By Gillian Dalgliesh

Decluttering can restore calm, order, clarity & wellbeing to our lives where we may previously have been feeling stressed or anxious.

Our brains naturally crave patterns and seek structure & order in everything we do. We learn from patterns & repetition and that gives us a sense of ease, familiarity, routine & consistency. So if you are living in a cluttered & disordered environment your brain will be working overtime trying to make sense of it all and create order.

Mess creates stress as clutter floods our minds with excessive stimuli (visual & tactile) causing our senses to work overtime trying to make sense of, or find patterns in things that are likely unimportant. In addition, we can experience anxiety as the mind senses that it may not be able to find something important amongst the disarray.

So find your spark of inspiration …. Then go and declutter!

Phew! Who knew how harmful clutter can be????

So what happens when you declutter your space? Answer - It improves your Mood!

Studies show that people experience a significant decrease in the stress hormone cortisol when items are removed, helping you to feel more stable, clearheaded, and relaxed as you clear. By clearing & cutting down clutter in your home, work space & environment to only the items you genuinely want and use, you will help yourself feel calmer and less under pressure to complete a mountain of tasks. You’ll be genuinely able to relax as you won’t have that background programme running of “Things To Sort Out”! Additionally, it appears that the physical activity of clearing & cleaning coupled with the end result of a cleaner environment helps reduce stress, feelings of anxiety, and depressive symptoms.
