Tidy home, tidy mind. Clean house, clean head. You have probably heard variations of these sayings before! But you may have never fully realized what decluttering the house can really do for your mind.
Throwing away old things is a powerful way to give your mind, clarity, focus, peace, and balance. Without even noticing it we surround ourselves with unnecessary, energy-draining clutter. This clutter can create a negative environment and affects our mood in a bad way.
So, here is a pretty long list of things you should get rid of! You will probably be surprised how many useless things you are holding on to.
Of course, cleaning stuff out can be a hard task, especially if you haven't done it for a while. Plus, you may not be able to throw out all of these things at the same time. So maybe instead of setting aside a huge chunk of time to do this, make this into a little challenge for yourself!
And one more thing, by throwing out I also mean selling, donating, giving away and recycling. The goal here is to get rid of these things any way you can!
