Is Clutter Draining Your Life-Force? #94
Let go of what you no longer need.
Have you ever walked into a room in your home and just felt tired or stressed?
Not because you did anything exhausting, but because everything around you feels like one more thing on your to-do list.
Stacks of paper.
Unfinished projects.
Piles of stuff that haven’t found a home yet.
It’s easy to think clutter is just a visual issue. But it’s not. Clutter is mental noise, and your brain is constantly trying to process it.
Studies show that visual clutter increases stress, decreases focus, and raises cortisol.
Your nervous system can’t fully relax in a space that feels chaotic or overloaded. You may not even notice it, but over time, it wears on your mood, your energy, and even your sleep.
And for a lot of us, our homes have become more like work zones than places to rest.
When every room reminds you of something you haven’t done yet, it’s hard to feel calm, let alone energized or creative.
It’s like your brain is always running in the background, keeping a mental checklist that never really gets cleared.
But here’s the good news…
Even small shifts make a big difference. Clearing a surface. Letting go of what you don’t use. Creating a corner that feels peaceful again.
It’s not about perfection. It’s about making space for clarity, calm, and a little more breathing room.
So if you’ve been feeling low on energy, scattered, or overwhelmed, take a look around. Your space might be quietly signaling to your body: It’s time to simplify. To let go of what you no longer need.
Start small. Begin with whatever feels most distracting. And notice how different it feels when your space begins to support you, rather than drain you.
Happy simplifying.
