When you meditate, you’ll help reduce confusion by getting clear on your priorities, and you’ll get better at focusing your attention and reducing distraction. By committing to a practice of meditation, you’ll take your mind to a place where clarity is natural and effortless. You’ll never be able to declutter your mind if you don’t make the time to meditate on what is actually keeping you stuck. If you want to start decluttering your mind and creating healthy habits, start by getting some restful sleep. According to researchers, sleep deprivation disrupts your brain cells’ ability to communicate with each other, leading to temporary mental lapses. If you are not getting enough sleep, the most common effect is sleepiness, of course, but also brain “fog”-the general inability to think straight or remember anything. Sleep has numerous benefits, including helping with your mental state. Here are 15 tips to help you clean and declutter your mind. Only then can you unravel unhealthy thinking patterns that are keeping you stuck and your mind cluttered. In order to build mental muscles and declutter your mind, you need to become intentional about where you place your attention and how you spend your time and energy.
Unclutter your life full#
It’s time to let go of the mental habits that are keeping you from reaching your full potential. When your mind is cluttered, you are not present, which causes you to lose connection to yourself, your environment, your relationships, and the moment you are in.
It also creates mental confusion, distraction, and disorganization that prevents you from creating clear priorities, making decisions, having focus, and being productive. When your mind is cluttered, it wastes your time and mental energy. Having external distractions and constant sensory input.Keeping a mental to-do list, including incomplete dreams and goals.Holding onto negative emotions and experiences, including resentment, past hurt, anger, and sadness.Worrying about things outside of your control.Not that you're to blame, but you do have the power to change a story at any time.Clutter doesn’t have to be just physical items in your environment. It's helpful to examine your motives if you seem to keep telling yourself upsetting stories when no one's listening. You can tell yourself a different story about any particular item if you want to. We each endow every object around us with meaning. You bring the story to all of it in and of itself, each item is neutral. Label them carefully including the date you placed them in storage then schedule an appointment with yourself six months from now to revisit the project. For those things that are just too tender to interact with right now, I suggest you box them up and put them someplace safe to return to in six months. If it will always upset you when you look at it or use it, let it go. If the item in question has use and no upsetting associations, inte- grate it among your other belongings. Consider whether you can use this item in your new life or if it will always remind you, and not in a pleasant way, of your relationship. Leave things that involve children or extended family for a bit later. Next I'd suggest turning your attention to those things that are isolated to just you and your former spouse. Add in the almost constant interruptions avail- able through digital media and electronic devices, and you can see why many people collapse in a heap of frustration and ex- haustion over something as simple as not being able to find your keys, wallet, or bag. That level of stimulation makes it that much harder to concentrate for long periods of time. When you can't feel safe in your own home, you're repeatedly stressing your adrenal system. Living with clutter and disorganization exacerbates an already stressful situation. They both yield the same result: clutter. You may have the best of intentions of later collecting that item and returning it to its home, or you may have been so preoccupied that setting it down was completely unconscious. When we're overwhelmed, distracted, or distressed it's easy to set an object down and keep walking.
Unclutter your life series#
Clutter is a series of deferred decisions. An inability to stay focused, regardless of the cause, typically results in piles and stacks and clumps of items set down randomly throughout the home and workplace. Physical clutter is often a concrete representation of mental or emotional clutter as well.
