338 // Feel proud of your home again: Decluttering tips to overcome overwhelm with Emily McDermott
Hey friend!
Did you know that multiple studies have shown a direct correlation between a cluttered environment and elevated levels of cortisol — our body’s primary stress hormone? When our surroundings are messy or chaotic, our brain perceives it as “unfinished business,” which keeps us in a state of stress.
So even if you're not consciously thinking, "Ugh, this clutter is stressing me out," your body is. And it’s responding by keeping you in a low-grade stress mode — making it harder to focus, sleep, or even relax.
But let’s think beyond cortisol for a second.
Clutter also impacts:
-
Your energy: It’s mentally draining.
-
Your relationships: It can lead to arguments or embarrassment about inviting people over.
-
Your productivity: Visual distractions make it harder to concentrate.
-
Your confidence: A cluttered home can make you feel like you're "failing" at adulting — even though you're absolutely not.
You deserve to feel proud of your home — not overwhelmed by it.
