Mental Decluttering - Spring Cleaning!

Mental clutter is stress created by the daily demands of modern life, our multiple roles, to-do lists, thoughts, emotions, responsibilities, and the constant influx of information. Consider the self-help concept of decluttering to reduce stress, improve concentration, enhance creativity, and cultivate a greater sense of well-being.

Signs that indicate the need for mental decluttering include difficulty concentrating, difficulty completing tasks, a decrease in work performance and a decrease in feeling balanced and well both physically and emotionally.

Mental decluttering is about creating space for what truly matters and letting go of what no longer serves us mentally and emotionally. The practice of mental decluttering may involve various techniques, such as mindfulness meditation, journaling, prioritizing tasks, setting boundaries, and letting go of negative thoughts or emotions.

Do a daily brain dump. Gather your thoughts and worries down on paper first thing in the morning or keep a notebook and pencil by your bed to jot down random thoughts when your mind is full late at night.
