The Benefits of Decluttering

Decluttering can have numerous benefits for not only your physical space, but also your mental health. What I love about decluttering the most is the fact that it's like a skill.. which means it can be learned.

When you flex your decluttering muscles, it does become easier, which reminds me of this beautiful quote:

"The more stuff I donated, the more I was able to breathe. The more trash I threw away, the more weight I felt lifted. The more I decluttered, the more joy I found." - Zina Harrington.
