Health<\/strong><br \/>\nIf you discover that your clutter is stressful and that clutter might be making you sick, prioritize your mental and physical health and let go.<\/p>\n<p>I knew stress made me feel sick and contributed to feeling rundown and overwhelmed, not to mention to MS relapses and symptoms, but I never thought my clutter was stressful, until I took a closer look.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>My clutter was a constant reminder of my debt and discontent. That\u2019s stressful.<\/li>\n<li>Walking into a cluttered home at the end of a stressful work day made me even more stressed.<\/li>\n<li>Managing my clutter; organizing, cleaning, and worrying about my stuff was stressful.<\/li>\n<li>Dealing with the emotions about the clutter was very stressful.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>It takes more than decluttering to combat chronic stress, but it\u2019s a strong start. Every positive change you make and every step taken towards a healthier life will provide confidence and momentum to make the next change.<\/p>\n<p>Other things that have helped me eliminate chronic stress include, creating a morning routine, moving my body regularly and meditation.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2. Clarity<\/strong><br \/>\nBrain fog? Can\u2019t think straight? Easily distracted? We are overwhelmed with everything we have to think about, manage and pay attention to on a daily basis. One of my favorite quotes from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/0804140847\/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;creativeASIN=0804140847&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;tag=notifoms-20&amp;linkId=DZRV3TGYAI4VP6K2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Thrive<\/a>\u00a0is from Iain Thomas, &#8220;And every day, the world will drag you by the hand, yelling, \u201cThis is important! And this is important! And this is important! You need to worry about this! And this! And this!\u201d And each day, it\u2019s up to you to yank your hand back, put it on your heart and say, \u201cNo. This is what\u2019s important.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>When you begin to eliminate the stuff and the fluff, it will become easier and easier to clearly identify and protect the things that your heart knows are important.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3. Joy<\/strong><br \/>\nLiving with less will you give you room to create more joy in your life. Letting go and getting simple provides time for long walks, slow meals, meaningful conversations, or anything else that brings you real joy.<\/p>\n<p><strong>4. Rest<br \/>\n<\/strong>We\u2019ve done a big disservice by portraying rest and relaxation as something you get if you work hard, can do if you get everything done by the end of the day or something you deserve if you are completely run down and burnt out.<\/p>\n<p>Contrary to popular belief, rest is not a reward but instead an essential part of your health and healing journey (a.k.a. your life). Living with less makes it easier to <a href=\"https:\/\/bemorewithless.com\/rest-manifesto\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">reclaim your right to rest<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>5. Silence<\/strong><br \/>\nPeace and quiet shouldn\u2019t be considered a luxury. You deserve moments of complete silence everyday. It\u2019s a noisy, noisy world but you can better navigate and appreciate it by fueling up on silence and solitude.<\/p>\n<p><strong>6. Light<\/strong><br \/>\nTravel light. Live light. Feel light. Be light. It\u2019s as good as it sounds.<\/p>\n<p><strong>7. Time<\/strong><br \/>\nIf you would rather spend time with people you love and doing things you love instead of organizing and managing your stuff, living with less can help. Less stuff means less time cleaning, less time looking for things, and less time putting stuff where it belongs.<\/p>\n<p><strong>8. Purpose<\/strong><br \/>\nIf you want to find purpose and discover what matters most to you, get rid of everything that doesn&#8217;t.<\/p>\n<p>Which why resonates most with you?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sometimes figuring out how to live with less is the easy part.
