    Start Small

    Decluttering doesn’t just mean material items; it also means just simplifying different aspects of your life. Adopting a minimalist lifestyle and attitude can benefit your road to living a clutter free life. Decluttering is a lengthy process and can’t be done overnight, so start small and begin with the obvious things. By putting too much pressure on yourself you will become quickly overwhelmed and want to give up. So even if it means starting with some organization of your calendar or your smartphone camera roll, it is still a start.


    Your journey is personal to you, so go at a pace which is comfortable for you.

    Begin With Physical Clutter

    Begin with the physical things that you can see and organize. Whether it is just one bed side drawer or your closet, any start is better than none! Being consistent isn’t always easy but it sure as hell is worth it! By embracing the less is better approach you can take control of your life and your wellbeing.


    When it comes to material items, try not to be sentimental. It can be difficult to part ways with some things but if you have no use for it anymore, donate it or get rid of it. Start with whatever you don’t use in you daily lifestyle, really evaluate whether or not it is worth your space. When your space is clear, it allows your mind to be clear. Make your space your happy place with your favourite scents, colours, and textures.


    This is your place to unwind and feel calm, so making it to your taste will help to improve your wellbeing!

    Move Towards Emotional Clutter

    Once you feel you have a grip on the physical clutter in your life, it allows you to move onto emotional clutter in your life. This can relate to work stress, bad habits, friends, people around us and personal struggles. Start by mapping out what is making you feel overwhelmed and the things you don’t feel you have control over.


    Slowly, begin to find ways you can change them, whether it means writing things down, asking for help or saying goodbye to toxic relationships. Try this simple start. Set yourself 60 seconds every morning and evening to do the simple things; wash your face and moisturize.


    That’s all you need. You can apply this to many other areas of your life too.
