The first and most important step in preparing for spring cleaning is tidying up , because the less stuff you have, the easier it will be to clean your space. Although many of us hoard things we don't need, we tend to approach spring with a little more clutter because most people hoard things during the holidays. "When we cleanse the physical realm, it can inspire us to remove what no longer serves us, like unhealthy relationships or our relationship with food, technology, or other substances," Wolanin says of Healthline.
Additionally, a study published in the Journal of Environmental Psychology found that clutter in the home can negatively impact our overall well-being and happiness. "When there's a lot of clutter, you lose control of your physical environment, which is very discouraging and can lead to stress, depression, or anxiety," says study co-author Catherine Roster, Ph.D. (via Everyday Health ).
Spring is a time associated with renewal and rebirth, and the perfect time to declutter your closet, garage, trash drawers, and any other living space where things accumulate. It can help you start the new season with a clean home and also reminds you of the importance of letting go of what no longer serves you.
