Content: Peace And Clarity
By decluttering your living and/or office space, you are doing the same for your mind. Minimalist environments are peaceful, allowing us not to be overstimulated. Overstimulation is an enemy of mindfulness, as one cannot think clearly when we are bombarded with sensory information. What is more, an abundance of stimuli cluttering up our homes or offices means that there are plenty of visual cues that can trigger thoughts or memories. And while that isn’t necessarily a bad thing, it can be hell for someone dealing with mental illness. Overstimulation caused by too much “stuff” might even trigger schizophrenic episodes in someone that is prone to them. Thus, a minimalist approach eases this problem and makes way for a life of peace and clarity. 2. A Step Toward Self-Discovery
Although getting rid of a huge amount of your material possessions will seem like you’re losing a part of you, it’s just a step in finding yourself. When there are no longer so many things around to distract you from who you truly are, the most enlightening and radical self-discovery takes place.
