Clutter & Your Brain: The Hidden Stress You Didn't Realize

Ever feel mentally drained just by looking at a messy space? That’s because clutter isn’t just physical—it affects your brain, too!

Science says…
When your environment is cluttered, your brain has to process MORE information at once, leading to:

  • Increased stress & anxiety

  • Reduced focus & productivity

  • Higher cortisol levels (the stress hormone)

  • Trouble relaxing & sleeping

The Fix? Less clutter, more clarity!

  • ✔️ Declutter one small space at a time

  • ✔️ Keep surfaces clear for mental breathing room

  • ✔️ Donate or toss things that no longer serve you

  • ✔️ Prioritize mindful, intentional spaces for peace

A calm space = a calm mind.
