This Month's Challenge: Declutter One Room, Clear Your Mind

Feeling overwhelmed, scattered, or just stuck in a loop? Look around—your environment might be part of the problem.

There’s a direct link between physical clutter and mental stress. When your home feels chaotic, your brain spends energy tracking unfinished tasks, visual distractions, and sensory overload. That’s why this month’s challenge is simple—but powerful:

Pick one room. Declutter it completely. Watch what happens.

Here’s how to do it in 3 steps, without getting burned out:

Step 1: Set a Timer (No More Than 45 Minutes)
Don’t try to fix your whole life in one afternoon. Choose one room—your bedroom, office, kitchen drawer—and give yourself a focused time block.

Step 2: Go for the Win, Not Perfection
Toss or donate anything you haven’t used in 6–12 months. Don’t overthink it. The goal isn’t a Pinterest photo—it’s breathing room.

Step 3: Don’t Just Clean, Reset
Wipe surfaces, rearrange furniture if needed, and make the space feel intentional again. When you walk in, you should feel done, not guilty.

Why it works:
Studies show that decluttering even one space can reduce anxiety, improve focus, and increase your sense of control. You’ll feel lighter—not just at home, but in your head.

Challenge yourself:
Pick a day this week. One room. One reset. You might be surprised how much clarity shows up when the clutter disappears.
