| Does your room look like this? |
- 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
- Clean your room/house. Follow Marie Kondo tips: Is this stuff spark joy in your life? If not, let it go. That's simple.
- Think twice or 3 or 4 times before buying anything
Have fun cleaning and hope you feel better
Well said. The best way to deal with anxiety and absolute boredom is by engaging oneself in physical activities! That is what I tell my friend, and they all come back with good words on how well it worked. It sure gives a sense of accomplishment to see that someone has the same ideology!!
