Declutter Your Way To Happiness

By Fairychamber and Niina Niskanen

It is time to declutter our way to happiness! In this book you will get tips on how to declutteri both physical and mental spaces. In this handy guide we will go through different aspects of our homes and our lives that might need decluttering. This includes decluttering stuff in our homes, wardrobes, and other physical spaces. We will also be discussing decluttering other areas in our lives such as the use of social media and toxic relationships. Clutter can hurt our mental and emotional well-being, causing stress, anxiety, and a feeling of overwhelm. By decluttering our physical space, we can create a more organized and peaceful environment that can help improve our overall happiness.
By decluttering your physical space and creating a more organized and intentional environment, you can experience a sense of calm, clarity, and happiness in your daily life. Take the time to declutter and reap the benefits of a more harmonious living space.One of the things about decluttering that nobody tells you is that, it can be highly addictive. Ever since I started my decluttering journey a couple of years ago, there are some areas in my home that I have gone through multiple times and I keep doing it again, even if I wouldn't have much to declutter, but at the same time, when you have a smaller amount of items and they are all quite dear to you, they bring you twice as much joy, much more than if you would have more items, which is interesting psychology. Home is where we spend most of our time, so when we make a home beautiful and we enjoy living there, we signal to ourselves that when we respect the space we are living in, we also respect ourselves more. Here is the real secret to why decluttering is a spiritual practice. When we declutter our physical space, at the same time we are clearing our mental clutter.

Mind Clutter Behind Decluttering

There has been lots of talk about decluttering. People are getting rid of the things that no longer serves them and there are all these different methods we can try, Konmari, Fengshui, one in-one out rule, five-item rule and so on, but I see way less talk about the spiritual aspect and the benefits of decluttering. In this book, we will focus on the benefits that decluttering has on our minds. This book is divided into different sections and they are not all about decluttering our homes, but decluttering our lives. There are chapters about decluttering social media, relationships that don't serve us anymore, decluttering the things in everyday life that keep dragging us down. Everything is not going to apply to everyone but you can take some of these methods and use them in your own life.

Before we get into that I would like to share my story with you.

A couple of months ago I was chatting with a friend of mine. We have been friends for seventeen years. We were sitting on lunch and we started to talk about the spiritual benefits of decluttering and owning less. Sadly when I was a child I was not very organized, and it was not just that we had lots of things, we had too many things. When I think about my childhood, it was quite chaotic. My mother has a mental illness. She is bipolar. My dad died when I was very young, and my sister and I, basically grew up in a mess. My mother is a hoarder, but she is a very clean and organized hoarder, but what it came to me and my sister, we just had too much stuff and I do feel that our mother, gave us a lot of things, because she felt guilty about not being around.

We had Barbies, legos, and my little ponies. It was two girls living in a toy heaven, but everything was scattered. Cleaning was difficult because there was so much stuff you couldn't even close closet doors. If we think about some decluttering experts like Marie Kondo, in one of her books she wrote that, since she was a little girl, she tried to come up with new ideas on how to organize. When I was a child, I feel like I had the opposite thing happening to me. Somehow I got used to living around bunch of things, so much so that it became normal, but in my head, I always felt this
