When You Are Triggered by Mess

EP:79 Do you ever feel overwhelmed by the slight clutter or mess in your house, and you’ve walked in the door, only to feel overloaded by scattered papers orunwashed dishes and clothes and disarray. Maybe you’ve even had arguments because it bothers you more than it bothers your partner, or your your spouse.

I want you to know, most importantly, you are not alone.

When my house is clean, and there is no clutter, I have a peaceful mind.

The state of cleanliness for some brains, helps you feel like you have structure, stability and control, which helps you feel like you have that within your life and within your brain.

8 Reasons to Eliminate Clutter from your Life:

1. Clutter bombards our minds with excess stimuli.

2. Clutter distracts us by drawing our attention away from what our focusshould be on.

3. Clutter makes it more difficult to relax.

4. Clutter constantly signals your brain that your work is never done.

5. Clutter makes us anxious, because we’re never sure what it’s going to taketo get through to the bottom of the pile.

6. Clutter creates feelings of guilt.

7. Clutter inhibits creativity and productivity by invading the open spaces that allow most people to think, brainstorm, and problem solve.

8. Clutter frustrates us by preventing us from locating what we need to quickly.
