· Do you feel like your brain is in serious overdrive?
· A stream of clutter slowly turning your mental space into a chaotic mess?
· Here are ten simple yet effective tips to help you declutter your mind in no time.
3. Do it little by little. Work on your
problem areas or the space you
spend the most time in.
At least create a clean and
organized space to gather
yourself and de-stress each day.
There’s no doubt that physical
clutter contributes to mental
and emotional clutter.
5. This is one of the simplest and
most effective ways to visualize
what’s swirling around in your
head. Once it’s on paper, it might
not feel so overwhelming.
You can keep track of to-do lists,
social obligations, calendars,
and so much more. All it takes is
a notebook and a pen.
7. Being immersed in massive
landscapes has a great ability to
make our problems feel a little
smaller and bit more manageable.
The outdoors are therapeutic for
many reasons. Think about
implementing more intentional
outdoors time into your life.
9. You’re subjecting yourself to a
constant influx of other people’s
ideas, opinions and biases which
inherently impacts our own ideas
and thoughts.
While television seems like a
good way to settle the brain and
wind down, it’s doing quite the
opposite.
11. Whether you’re addressing
material objects or stray
thoughts, this elimination
process will do your brain some
serious good.
Minimalism entails thinking
about what you really need and
want.
13. Be realistic about what you need
to do versus what you’d like to
do, and set aside time for
yourself above all.
If you want to declutter your
mind, vow to do a little less.
15. Verbalizing our thoughts and
feelings prevents the classic
problem of bottling up
everything inside, only for it to
explode later.
Talking to people allows us
perspective as we can receive
feedback that isn’t so clouded by
our own brain junk.
17. It doesn’t have to be done in
grand gestures. Simply smiling
more often at others can help
you feel better
Whether or not you believe in
karma, you can be sure that
helping out others can give you
some peace of mind.
19. Along with having this realistic
vision, another decluttering skill
would be to focus on one thing
at a time.
Even if you’re the ‘to-do list
master,’ nothing beats a clear
and streamlined vision of where
you’re going.
21. Whatever it is, it might be worth
it. If your mind is facing big
clutter issues, trying to be
productive can be very
counterproductive.
Sometimes, the best advice is to
do nothing. Take a nap. Sit on the
couch. Take a bath. Meditate.
