Why should you declutter today?

by Nour Abi Fadel

Have you ever cleaned a messy drawer or stuffed closet and felt great satisfaction? Decluttering extends beyond improving the beauty and aesthetics of your home or workspace. It is vital to your physical and mental health. In fact, Feng Shui philosophy poses that the free-flowing energy generated from decluttering gets rid of exhaustion and stagnation. A cluttered area overwhelms your brain with excess sensory information which can result in irritability and stress. Address the blocked energy streams in your home by clearing your clutter!

Yes, decluttering may be time-consuming, and you’ve been postponing it for a while now. But here is why it’s worth it:

You create more time on the long run
Have you ever felt overwhelmed by the messy office, or took an hour to choose the right outfit? Day by day, these get in the way of managing your time well. Many people report saving at least an hour a day after a big clutter-clearing. What’s stopping you?

You address personal issues
In a deep clean, you may confront items that hold with them deep emotional residue. They may be negative memories that you have not confronted. Decluttering will cleanse your soul from the past and give you a chance to create room for new experiences.

You feel in control and empowered
Whether you realize it or not, the unorganized area must be bringing stress into your own home or workspace. The practice of sorting it our reduces this stress and allows you to gain a sense of control over your own life. This is because the blockage of energy is relieved, and you become in command of your environment’s aura.

You trust your intuition more
When you must make big decisions, having a clean space creates clarity for you. Yes, your intuition may still work when your kitchen is all over the place, but a clutter-free home gives you a sense of certainty and comfort in yourself. This in turn increase your confidence in the decisions you make.

You start to sleep deeper
Clearing out all this stagnant clutter and storage around your bedroom is particularly important for energy to circulate around you. With this free energy, it becomes easier for you to rejuvenate through deep sleep.

You begin to solve problems
A clear space brings with it a fresh perspective and great focus. This helps you solve problems easily whether it is at the professional or personal life.
The bottom line is that there is no downside at all to decluttering, but instead many benefits. Begin with a small space today and be inspired to continue with larger spaces. This is also an opportunity to give away the items other people may need. Soon, you’ll be feeling the magic and energy in the air around you from the positive changes you have made and the happiness you brought to others in need!
