As the flowers start blooming and the birds find their way back to warmer lands, our hearts rejoice that a new season has come. Though sunlight is increasing and warmer weather is upon us, our minds can get a bit jumbled and overwhelmed with all the to-do’s. Just like we clean our homes and prepare for a new and fresh time of the year, it’s time to spring clean our hearts and minds for mental clarity.
I’m not sure about you, but I hate clutter. Maybe it was something about growing up in a chaotic home, or maybe it’s my high-functioning anxiety, but clutter puts me on edge. The Merriam-Webster Dictionary defines “Clutter” as “to fill or cover with scattered or disordered things that impede movement or reduce effectiveness.”
It defines Mental Clutter as, “an excessive amount of thoughts, worries, or concerns that can make it hard to focus or feel at peace. It can also be described as a rapid-fire of free associations or jumping from one image to another.” While a messy home will certainly get on my nerves and may eventually cause my house to be dirty or unstable (if it goes on long enough), mental clutter can cause severe long-term damage.
Unfortunately, the effects of long-term mental clutter on our overall well-being can cause stress, reduced productivity, and even more anxiety and depression. So, how do we clean up this headspace in a way that feels doable and not overwhelming?
