Summary
If your home feels overwhelming, your nervous system already knows it. Most people think clutter is a housekeeping issue. Research suggests it may be much more than that. In this episode, I explore the connection between clutter, stress, cortisol, focus, and emotional well being. We also expand the conversation beyond overflowing closets and crowded countertops to include mental clutter, emotional clutter, and calendar clutter. What we tolerate in our environment has a way of becoming what we tolerate everywhere. If life has felt noisy lately, this episode may help you identify one simple place to begin creating more clarity. Ready to go deeper?
