3 Ways to Declutter Your Mind
Researchers estimate that we have about 60,000 thoughts each day. And many of those thoughts involve thinking the same things over and over again. Rehashing the same things, focusing on the negative, and worrying about things we cannot control wastes time and mental energy. Go to the Psychology Today website for three tips to help you spring clean your mind and reach your greatest potential.
The Relationship Between Mental Health & Cleaning and Decluttering
When some people are feeling overwhelmed or stressed out, they might try yoga or mindfulness but for others giving the shelves a quick dust, wiping down the kitchen counter, or even organizing the closet is just as beneficial for their mental health. Clutter and mess may contribute to decreased focus, tension, irritability and even depression. Go to the Verywell Mind website to learn about the benefits of decluttering for your mental health.
How to Beat the Spring Blues
When we think of seasonal depression, we usually associate it with the cold, gray weather. However, studies show that anxiety and depression can reach their high points in the spring as well. Go to the Lifespan website to learn why good weather can also bring on depression
and what you can do to combat the spring blues.
