Look Around You... They are used to be money!

Does your room look like this?
Ask yourself these questions:
  • Do you feel stressed when sitting in your room/house?
  • Do you get upset or annoyed easily when getting back to your room/house?
  • Do you feel like nothing can be done?
  • Do you feel like you can never find anything in your room/house? Or things just mysteriously disappear?
If you answer yes to most of the above questions, your room/house needs a good clean up. According to University of Minnesota, your personal environment can have a positive or negative effect on your mood. The research has shown that rooms with bright light can improve and anxiety. So, you can guess what a messy room can do for your mental health. You can read more about the research here.
Other than that, you bought all of them... with your hard-earned money (of course excluding the gift your friends bought you - wait for it, I will come back for it later!). It is no rocket science that you bought stuff thinking they would make you happy but after a while, they just sit there, pile up and make you stress, and you go out to buy more stuff. I hope you can see the cycle here.
There is only way out
  1. Clean your room/house. Follow Marie Kondo tips: Is this stuff spark joy in your life? If not, let it go. That's simple.
  2. Think twice or 3 or 4 times before buying anything
Have fun cleaning and hope you feel better
