Have you ever found yourself saying, “I just want to be more organised!”? But what does that really mean to you? For many, it’s about reducing the amount of stuff in the house. But the bigger question is: What are you really letting go of when you declutter?
Maybe you’ve already started the process, and after a few weeks, you’ve donated or thrown away a carload of things. But you’re still craving that deeper sense of calm that comes from truly embracing less. If you’re ready for more peace and less clutter, you’re in the right place!
Here’s why owning less feels so good.
Owning Less = Less Stress
It might sound obvious, but it’s true: the less you own, the less you have to worry about. Every item in your home takes up physical space, but it also occupies mental space. Whether you feel it or not, each item is another thing to care for, maintain, or manage.
When Was the Last Time You Used It?
Do you have things stored away that haven’t been used in years? It might be time to ask yourself some tough questions:
Do you really need it?
Do you even remember what’s in that box?
I can’t tell you how many times clients say things like:
“I didn’t know I had that.”
“Where did this come from?”
“I don’t remember buying this!”
Let’s be real: If you forgot about it, you probably don’t need it.
Make Space, Free Your Mind
The more physical space you create by decluttering, the more mental space you’ll gain. Imagine having fewer things to maintain, organise, or clean—how much more time would that leave for you?
Fewer clothes in your wardrobe means less time spent picking out an outfit.
Less kitchen clutter means more mental energy for the activities you enjoy.
Reducing your belongings can lighten your mental load, leaving you more focused and relaxed.
Is Your Home a Storage Facility?
If your home is filled with items you never use, it’s acting more like a storage facility than a living space. Many of my clients use words like:
Messy
Chaotic
Overwhelming
Stressful
Does this sound familiar to you? Studies from the University of California show that clutter can increase your cortisol levels—the hormone responsible for stress. Imagine the peace you’d feel in a decluttered, organised space.
Do You Really Need That?
Take the kitchen as an example. Do you really need 20 cookie cutters if you only bake a few times a year? Probably not. And if you have a drawer full of cables but can’t remember what they connect to, it’s time to let them go.
