Have you ever noticed how heavy your chest feels when your surroundings are cluttered and in disarray?
 
Millions of Americans struggle with clutter. What you, and they, may not realize is that clutter can affect your mind and body – your health.
 
Having a cluttered home can lead to more stress, anxiety, and lack of mental energy.  It puts your mind in a low self-control mindset, causing you to be more likely to overeat and make other sabotaging choices.  So fascinating how much our surroundings affect us, isn't it!?
 
On top of all of this, a cluttered home leads to a cluttered mind, making it more difficult to think clearly.  Basically, you are unable to work through the clutter which makes your brain struggle with processing information. This can make it hard to remember things and problem-solving.
 
Clutter drains you of energy and makes you feel tired. When you have to look at clutter, you most likely feel overwhelmed. You know you need to do something but you don’t have the energy. Take time to clear the clutter from one small area. It can help you and your family feel more energetic and more inspired to work on decluttering in other areas.
 
Did you know clutter could be making you sick physically? No one wants to think about it, but clutter can be the breeding ground for germs, dust, mold and mildew. It could even hide a problem with mice. If you do not believe clutter can make you sick, think of the stress mentioned above. If you have too much stress, you may develop high blood pressure. Dust and mold can cause allergies or worse.
 
Clutter can also affect your body weight. People with clutter are usually sedentary while those with an uncluttered home are active. Part of this may be because the clutter in the home makes it hard for you to move around freely. You may also be using clutter, like being overweight, as a means to protect yourself. Clutter keeps people at bay and so there is little chance that you will be hurt.
 
Now that you understand some of the ways clutter can affect your mind and body, consider what you are going to do about it. Will you take a step forward and begin decluttering, or will you let it continue to rule your life and that of your family?
  
The New Year is the perfect time to begin decluttering your home and starting fresh.  What room needs decluttering the most in your home?
