What’s with all these trends on minimalist living all about? And why on Earth is this the new trend going on? While I’m not a minimalist, there are amazing benefits of living in a decluttered space.
Putting in time and effort into working through your rooms in your house and all, you will come to see the benefits of decluttering your living space. Thought decluttering can feel overwhelming at first, the end benefits will be so much worth it.
Starting your journey to a simplified and decluttered life, it is important to understand that it is not the destination that counts but the journey. And decluttering your living space will always be an ongoing process. Through decluttering, there are many amazing benefits that we can muster and learn from. To make decluttering an empowering process, here are my four favourites;

Save Money
Have you ever thought about any clutters in your household that you won't be using anymore? Any kind of clutter causes both physical and mental drain, making it harder to organize your things around. Sometimes it's okay to let go of the things that you won't be needing anymore. At the same time raising awareness of the things that you need instead. This will be beneficial as it will make you be more careful with shopping. Having a mental need of what is necessary makes a person more careful about shopping. This saved both money and time as you wont go aimlessly wandering for unnecessary items again.

Fewer Decisions
Making decisions can be hard sometimes and we know that, when you are deciding what to wear for that special occasion you can be easily indecisive about what you’re going to wear. Having so many options does make life a tad bit difficult. Reducing your wardrobe items and keeping your clothes that you do wear (and the ones you liked) makes it so much easier to choose and get ready for that special occasion you have. By decluttering what stays and what goes does speed up the process by consciously choosing only the best you have.

Less Stress
Having a lot of stuff causes endless clutters which leads to more stress having to maintain all your stuff. The same goes for households with kids, which tend to have so many things that having to maintain them seem overwhelming. So often people put pressure on themselves and try to keep up with the unmanageable amount of clutter that oftens leads to unnecessary stress. A decluttered home brings a less stressful environment for family members, with less things on hand meaning less things to worry about.

Less Distractions & More Freedom
Life can be full of unnecessary distractions at every corner there is something out there begging for attention. Be it technology and it can be our stuff too. Having a ‘less is more’ mindset does reflect on your home living. When you have too much stuff lying around we tend to spend our time cleaning, organizing, and in the end we lose focus on our main priorities. Having a decluttered lifestyle does seem beneficial and it allows us to breathe more easily as it creates space for the things that matter to us.
