300,000
Take a guess what this number means.
A few years back, I came across an article saying that this is the average number of items situated in a household in the US.
If people are feeling frustrated inside their home, this is a good explanation.
Research shows that humans react to things unconsciously, so the more stuff we have, the more emotional and psychological reactions are triggered as well. This becomes a domino effect and we can become disturbed without noticing these hidden causes.
Things do bring joy, but having too much can indeed become a nuisance, that’ll drive happiness to the opposite direction. It’s hard to control how the current materialism and economy operate, but we do have the slightest hope to control what’s inside our households.
The decluttering process is a natural movement for folks who realize the importance of “letting home breathe” meaning things should come in and go out. Yes, it’s hard and puzzling in the beginning as we may not know where to start. But once you find a good area to start, then the rest is just continuation, it’ll become your daily routine, and you’ll no longer live in fear, worries or anxiety.
Power to less!
