Doesn’t the chaotic fast paced world passing by overwhelm you? Overwhelming in a manner that sometimes you forget to take a breather? Digital distractions, emotional garbage, and of course – the overly cluttered home, are most of which can suffocate our sense of peace and well-being.
Embracing the minimalist and simple lifestyle is the key to a happier, relaxed and a fulfilled you.
Here at Sphere Medium we have put together a quick guide on how to keep yourself and your home decluttered.
Here’s to decluttering your life.
start with one room
To begin the decluttering process, start with one room, and in that room start with your, let’s say, your end table drawers. Remember, tiny steps at a time. By clearing out drawers and shelves one by one will get the job done sooner, and you won’t overwhelm yourself that easily and this way you’ll see results right away which boosts your confidence and motivates you to keep going.
Aim for the One in One out rule
Aim for the ‘One in One out rule’ Meaning, whenever you buy something new for your home you give away an old item.
By following this rule your home and your life will never clutter again.
Clutter isn't always physical but virtual too!
Organize your files, remove useless programs, and unsubscribe from unsolicited emails. Keep your work/space (if working from home as well as the office) clean and tidy and most of all, organized. Get rid of old files and paperwork. Remember a clean working environment means a relaxed you.
Simplify your schedule
A life that is cluttered can include more than just things. It can also include responsibilities. Make a note of any events on your calendar that don’t make you happy or make your life better. Making a list of your goals can help you find happiness and a happier way of life.
Incorporate Mindfulness
Adding mindfulness to your regular practice can greatly aid in mental cleaning. Every day, set aside some time for introspection or meditation. With the use of this exercise, you can learn to recognize the ideas and emotions that clog your mind and free up time to concentrate on the things that actually improve your life.
Give Away Sentimental Things
A minimalist lifestyle can often be thwarted by sentimental attachments. Although it’s vital to treasure memories, hoarding too many things can lead to needless clutter. Consider parting with the majority of the mementos and keeping only a select handful that truly capture your memories. Happiness and a sense of freedom may result from this.
Establish a Decluttering Schedule
The secret to cleaning your life is consistency. Make it a habit to go through and arrange your possessions on a weekly or monthly basis. You can maintain a more minimalist lifestyle and find long-lasting enjoyment by making decluttering a habit.
Be in the company of things you love
One of the tenets of minimalism is to surround yourself with things that are happy or functional solely. Take some time to assess your possessions, and only hold onto items that bring you joy or are truly useful. This improves your living environment and encourages a happier, more optimistic life.
Seek Support
Decluttering doesn’t have to be done alone, even though it can occasionally feel daunting. Ask your friends and relatives for assistance. By holding yourself accountable and inspiring others, sharing your objectives can improve the process’ efficiency and enjoyment. You can commemorate the path towards a simpler, happier life together.
Evaluate Your Development
Evaluate Your Development, Think back on your experience of decluttering and the benefits it has brought about. Acknowledge that your efforts have resulted to more mental clarity, happiness, and a higher quality of life. Honoring these accomplishments strengthens your resolve to lead a modest lifestyle.
Conclusion
You can live a better and more fulfilled life by decluttering. You can create an environment that promotes your happiness and well-being by adopting a minimalist mindset. Simplify your life gradually, be consistent, and have fun while doing so.
