I think we all get the idea that living in clutter can impact us negatively, but we often don’t give a second thought to the clutter in our homes.
This month I had the wonderful opportunity to join my colleague Dr. Carmen Roman in her Emotions in Harmony video series to discuss the psychological benefits of beauty.
Research is clear that when we’re surrounded by clutter our stress levels are elevated, even when we step away from the cluttered environment.
I invite you to watch the full interview to learn about how clutter affects us negatively as well as to explore how to declutter your home.
If you like this episode, you can keep up with Dr. Carmen Roman’s work through her video series on YouTube: Emotions in Harmony, or you can visit the Emotions in Harmony Website.
Here’s a link to the book I mentioned: The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up: The Japanese Art of Decluttering and Organizing by Marie Kondo (links to Amazon)
