The link between clutter and stress

Research has shown that clutter can increase levels of cortisol , the hormone associated with stress. In fact, the more clutter, the higher the cortisol level. Clutter can also cause feelings of anxiety, which can have a negative impact on mental health.

The benefits of tidying up

Tidying up can have a positive impact on mental health and well-being. Tidying up creates a more organized and functional living space, which can help reduce feelings of stress and anxiety. It can also improve your concentration and productivity.

The relationship between tidying up and self-determination

Tidying up can also have a positive effect on self-esteem. When you clean up, you make decisions about what’s important to you and what you want to keep in your life. This process can help you gain more confidence in your own decision-making ability.
