Science Now Shows What We Have Known All Along

Yes, indeed!  You read that right!

Science has now shown that clutter can actually give you anxiety. 

The author of this article, Anne-Marie Gambelin, says in her article that “clutter can also be defined as having a disorganized and overwhelming amount of possessions in our living space, cars or storage areas. Clutter creates stress that has three major biological and neurological effects on us—our cortisol levels, our creativity and ability to focus, and our experience of pain.”

But the author goes on to say that it’s not just physical clutter.  She addresses the mental clutter that inhabits our brains and thoughts!  A quote she uses in the article goes like this: “‘When you have to-do items constantly floating around in your head, or you hear a ping every few minutes from your phone, your brain doesn’t get a chance to fully enter creative flow or process experiences,’ says Mark Hurst, author of Bit Literacy, a New York Times bestseller on controlling the flow of information in the digital age.“

I highly encourage you to read this wonderful article!  And then act on what you have read.  Let’s de-clutter together.  I can help.
