Different people have different ways of tidying up their space. For some, it may be a regular or weekly thing to declutter the home or workspace. While for others, decluttering may be pushed aside until badly needed, or it’s unavoidable to do the task at hand. But whatever you do or however you want to tidy up your space, we all know one thing: people tend to have way too much stuff in their homes or workspaces.
Heaps of unread newspapers and magazines, boxes within boxes of unopened and unused birthday gifts from the past year, and a truckload of other things ‘saved for later’ and ‘just in case’ something comes up. These things pile up one after the other long enough for you to realize that the mess is actually affecting your wellbeing.
That said, it’s always a good idea to declutter your space every chance you get. Make it a habit to sort everything out and throw what doesn’t serve its purpose anymore. Here at Lane Storage Solutions, we aim to help you declutter your space so you could also declutter your mind. We’ve listed a few of the benefits of decluttering your home and why it’s good for your wellness.
Promotes A Happy Environment
Clutter affects everyone, regardless of whose or what type of mess it is. With that, stress tends to rise within the environment, and even affect your relationships with the people you share the space with. Therefore, it’s only important that you set a specific day and time of decluttering your home, most especially the rooms and common areas. Not only will this help make your home look a lot cleaner, but it will also promote a happy environment, which in turn can help boost one’s overall emotional health.
Lessens Allergens
With clutter all over your home, it’s easy to unknowingly accumulate an amount of dust, mold, or pet hair that could fester tiny spaces, making you prone to allergies. Organizing your home and getting rid of stuff you do not need will help improve your overall indoor air quality and ventilation; thus, making room for a less stuffy environment.
Alleviates Anxiety, Depression, And Other Underlying Mental Health Conditions
For many people, decluttering is considered therapy. When you can’t seem to find a place to organize and store your things away, chances are, you’ll just leave them lying around any empty table, chair, or space you set your eyes on. This only builds more clutter, and it does not help your mental health at all.
Studies say that clutter produces high levels of stress hormones, which in turn causes anxiety and depression. So whether it’s throwing unnecessary stuff or storing away sentimental items, it’s best you do it right away. Though it may seem overwhelming and tedious at first, the quicker you get it done, the less mess and stress you get within your space.
This is why on-demand storage is changing the future of the storage industry. Temporarily get rid of the things you do not use daily without throwing them away. You may contact us here for inquiries about storage solutions.
