Clutter is the material stuff that gets in the way of living our life, and so that's not minimalism. You know everything actually has a much more relaxed feel about it and happiness.
Feeling overwhelmed by the mess in your life? You're not alone. In this episode of 'The Therapeutic Poet', addiction psychologist and poet Jacky Power sits down with professional declutterer Belinda Knox Spinks to unravel the tangled web of clutter and its impact on our well-being. While Marie Kondo's tidying methods have swept the globe, Jacky and Belinda dive deeper into why letting go of our belongings can feel like pulling teeth for some of us.
Did you know that for people who hoard, discarding items can activate the same part of the brain that processes pain? It's no wonder decluttering can be such an emotional rollercoaster. Studies have shown that messy environments can sap our willpower, disrupt our focus, and even spike our stress levels. But how do we balance a clutter-free space with holding onto cherished memories?
Jacky and Belinda share practical strategies for tackling clutter, from understanding our emotional attachments to possessions to setting realistic goals for a tidier, happier home. They also explore the role of therapy in helping us let go of what no longer serves us. If you're ready to transform your living space and lighten your mental load, this conversation is a must-listen. Tune in to discover how decluttering can be a liberating and healing experience.
