Feeling stressed out at home? Your clutter may be affecting your mood

November 2, 2010 by respaced

How does your house make you feel? Secure, relaxed, content? Or do you get that anxious or overwhelmed feeling when you look around your home?

When our home is disorganized, it affects our mood. We are profoundly affected by our environment, which we may not realize.

Our disorganization creates stress – stress because we can’t find our keys, stress because the bills don’t get paid on time, stress because there is not much room for the kids to play, stress because we spend our weekends trying to catch up on housework rather than enjoying the time with our family.

Our clutter suffocates us.

But organization liberates us. When you have clean counters in the kitchen and you can find all of your cookware, you are free to create healthy, yummy dinners for your family each night. When you have nothing stacked on your chairs, couches and coffee tables, you are free to entertain guests and your children will want to bring their friends over. When you have a dedicated craft space and a clear work table, you are free to feed your soul with your creativity.

If your home causes you frustration, exhaustion and stress, it’s time to reassess what you have filled it with. It’s time to ask yourself, have I made room for what is important to my family or has our stuff crushed our priorities?
