It\u2019s hard to find things that you need when your surroundings are a mess. When your area is in order, it makes it much easier to concentrate on what you are trying to accomplish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Higher Self-esteem-<\/strong> It\u2019s hard to be confident when you are surrounded with clutter. It\u2019s hard to feel in control when your life is dictated by the stuff around you.\u00a0 According to Catherine Roster, PhD, a professor of marketing at the University of New Mexico in Albuquerque, \u201cwhen people go through the process of decluttering, they feel a sense of freedom and liberation. It\u2019s a reclaiming of a sense of mastery and control. They feel more competent and efficient.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Better Relationships-<\/strong> Clutter can cause some serious conflict. When one person is messy, it often frustrates other family members or roommates. That frustration can take a toll on relationships.\u00a0 Clutter can also be a barrier to friendships. Often people are too embarrassed to invite people over if their home is disorganized.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Lower Risk of Asthma and Allergies<\/strong>&#8211; It\u2019s hard to clean around piles of stuff and stacks of paper. It might feel like your house is messy, not dirty but decluttering helps you get more of the house clean. This can help reduce dust, mold and mildew, which might trigger asthma and allergies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Improved Lifestyle and Well-being-<\/strong> It\u2019s easier to make meals in an orderly kitchen. You\u2019re likely to sleep better if your bedroom is organized. &#8220;A clutter-free environment allows you to perform tasks of daily living more efficiently because everything you need is readily available and within reach,&#8221; according to Darcey Rojas a wellness advocate and healthy home designer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Better Focus- It\u2019s hard to concentrate in a cluttered space and not just because it\u2019s visually distracting.
