De-cluttering your home and improving your physical space is intrinsically linked to your psychological wellbeing. Although clearing your space of needless clutter frees up those stresses and strains in your mind, the process can be downright emotional!

Clutter not only takes up space in your home but also in your mind. It can create a build up of stress, anxiety and worry, leaving you feeling frustrated and overwhelmed. When you spend time clearing out unwanted and unused things, and organising your belongings appropriately, you will feel able to focus, concentrate and get on with life. The de-cluttering process can have an extremely profound effect on your entire being.

The journey to this happier, more organised state can be tricky. Your belongings have a wealth of memories attached to them and you have probably had many reasons for holding onto them for so long. The question you have to ask yourself is whether the stressed feelings are worth holding on to a memory of an event gone by.

De-cluttering is also about asserting boundaries. Many people struggle to order their home because they believe they have an obligation to their clutter. Perhaps you’re holding on to something you truly dislike because it was given to you as a gift. You may be hoarding someone else’s clutter, such as a daughter who has recently left home. You may have inherited a relative’s belongings and the emotional attachment stops you from getting rid of things you don’t need and dislike.

De-cluttering your home is possible despite these emotional hurdles. If your goal is to reduce your stress levels, create some room, organise your belongings and gain control of your surroundings, it is a matter of giving yourself permission to de-clutter. Remove the emotional attachments and go with the ‘need’ and ‘like’ approach.

I wish you all the best with your de-cluttering efforts. I hope you will be able to overcome emotional attachments to enjoy a clearer mind and a clearer home!
