Feeling overwhelmed by mental clutter? Discover how to regain clarity and calmness with five simple steps. Embark on a journey towards a more focused, productive, and peaceful mind. Let's dive into the process of decluttering your mind.
The problem with clutter is that, once you are in the middle, you don’t realize it anymore
You get used to the disorder so much that you become the disorder
- Whenever we are occupied by things that are not helpful, we are burying the good things underneath
- Our mind needs decluttering too
Step 1: Clear Your Procrastination List
Make a list of things you’ve wanted to do but never started
- How important are these things? What is making you delay them?
- Understand whether and how these things are important, and then decide how to tackle the challenges preventing you from starting them
Step 5: Say No to People and Things that Drag You Down
You don’t need a journal to know that someone or something is toxic to you
- When it hurts you, it needs to go. It will only keep hurting you.
- Alcohol, for example, has become unhealthy, especially mentally, for one woman.
Stop Worrying
Daily practice of mindfulness will help you detach from your emotions and watch them from above
- Many times we are worrying without recognizing it
- Mindfulness will help recognize it and let it pass like a cloud in the sky
- Don’t let your worrying control you
A Final Word
To declutter your mind, leave only what is helpful and sparks joy, so your life can be productive and joyful.
- Clear Your Procrastination List
- Stop Worrying
- Follow Through on Promises and Commitments
- Let Go of Anger and Forgive

Step 3: Follow Through on Promises and Commitments

- Find a time where no one and nothing else can disturb you

Step 4: Let Go of Anger and Forgive
Hating someone is like taking poison every day while hoping that the other person would die from it
