Minimalism is a philosophy of life in which a person reduces material values and simplifies the physical and mental space. The concept arose in response to excessive consumption.
How minimalism affects mental health
Thanks to minimalism, a person feels more calm and safe.
In addition, minimalism reduces stress and anxiety. Cluttered space negatively affects well-being.
Cleaning around can help organize your thoughts and put yourself in order in the figurative sense of the word.
According to a study published in the Bulletin of Personality and Social Psychology, women who described their homes as more organized experienced fewer symptoms of depression or signs of low mood during the day.
Order and free space around can not only improve mood and well-being, but also free the brain for new thoughts and deeds.
