Have you ever wanted to de-clutter your home but never got the chance because the task seems intimidating or you don’t know where to start? Another dilemma that might hold you back is the challenge of letting go of the items in your possession. A study made by researchers from Yale School of Medicine proved that letting go of the things that have sentimental value or items that people think they can still use later on is never as easy. Two parts of the brain (anterior cingulate cortex and the insula) activate in response to the need to let go. Hence, it will feel difficult to even think of tidying up and much more in doing it. However, de-cluttering is necessary and offers surprising benefits you should not miss.
Having excess items like clothes, furniture, and scrap materials around the home can negatively impact the emotional and mental state of the homeowner. The view of clutter in itself can cause stress and anxiety. In that sense, de-cluttering provides a clean and healthier surrounding that gives peace, sends positive energy, and lessens stress.
Another important benefit is that the process creates more space. Imagine getting rid of the things you don’t need (but you think you need) and creating space for more important ones. It also saves you time and effort. For a busy person, finding misplaced items in a cluttered area is too much to handle, but if the house is organised, there will be fewer chances of misplacing items.
In the long run, de-cluttering will give you the option to help or earn. During the process, you will find items that you think are not necessary for you anymore but others may find useful. You can arrange these items for donation or sell them through a garage sale. Either way, it will benefit you as the homeowner.
