“Keeping things tidy and ordered at home might seem trivial and mundane. Yet as housing becomes smaller and items become cheaper and easier to acquire, clutter accumulation in contemporary homes becomes increasingly burdensome” (Cwerner & Metcalfe, 2003)
That’s right, our clutter and our mental health have a direct correlation. As the quote summarizes above, we live in an age where things have never been easier to acquire…hello credit cards and Amazon (not that I’m complaining, I love myself some 2 day-shipping). So it’s no surprise that people struggle with clutter. I have struggled in the past with keeping up with the clutter, that’s when I realized the benefits of living a more minimalist life. It’s true! I love shopping as much as the next person, but I also love the feeling of coming home to a tidy house. My house is not always perfect by any means, 2 people and a cat live there afterall! Being organized and intentional with my shopping means that my house can get back to good in a flash, and that is priceless for my mental health. So if you are looking for the peace that a tidy house can bring why not get started today?
