Chaos to Calm: Learn to Declutter

Time and time again, others have tried to say that when your space is cluttered,

so is your mind. However, that can also go the other way. As your mind becomes

cluttered with things to do, meetings to go to, and all the stresses you

experience, your space will become cluttered as a result.

A cluttered workspace may say that you are in the middle of a project and need

lots of information present at once. However, this same workspace will stress out

your mind and hurt your work performance.

Clutter creates a negative impact on our lives. The clutter in the world around us

indicates lots of clutter in the mind. When you experience stress and anxiety for

long periods of time, take a look around you. Are you seeing clutter that matches

the state of your mind?

The first step to bringing your chaotic world down to a calm one is to recognize

the clutter around you. Knowing both the physical clutter and the clutter of your

mind will let you know what you need to clean to bring you back to peace.
