If you think all that clutter piling up<\/a> around your house is just an eyesore, you might be surprised to learn that it could also be hurting your physical and emotional health. In fact,\u00a0according to an article published by WebMD<\/a>, too much stuff could pose a wide range of health and safety risks \u2013 from fire and tripping hazards to increased allergies and even weight gain! Stay with us as we explore a few ways good home organization habits could improve your daily life.<\/p>\n

Less Clutter, Less Calories<\/h2>\n

The connection between home organization<\/a> and your caloric intake may not be immediately obvious, but the two are more related than you might think. Maintaining a neat, tidy, well-organized home requires planning and mindfulness. Many people find that practicing these behaviors in one area of life often has a positive influence on other areas \u2013 like diet, for example. Eva Selhub, M.D. believes that people who are more organized at home could also be more likely to plan ahead for nutritious meals. So, in addition to cutting back on your food intake, why not try cutting back on the clutter?<\/p>\n

Improved Relationships with Friends and Loved Ones<\/h2>\n

Have you ever gotten frustrated with your spouse because you couldn\u2019t find your keys? Did you insist that you put them in one place only to discover them later buried under a pile of mail? Situations like these happen to the best of us from time to time, but if you find that you\u2019re always misplacing things, it might be time to get serious about home organization. Life\u2019s little nuisances can add up over time, creating a tense environment and harming your relationships.<\/p>\n

Or, consider this all-too-common scenario. Your doorbell rings unexpectedly, and you panic when you see your neighbor on the other side\u2026 And guess what, he wants to come in. You quickly survey the room \u2013 noting the general disarray \u2013 but it\u2019s too late. There\u2019s no time to do anything about it now, and it would be rude to leave him standing outside in the cold. Your clutter is now on display for all to see. But, it doesn\u2019t have to be this way. By making time for home organization, you won\u2019t need to fear the doorbell. Heck, you might even find yourself inviting the neighbors over for a change!<\/p>\n

An Organized Home is a Happy Home<\/h2>\n
\n

The official journal for the Society of Personality and Social Psychology, Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin<\/em>, found that people who used words like \u201ccluttered\u201d to describe their homes exhibited more signs of stress, had less energy, and measured higher levels of cortisol, the body\u2019s natural stress hormone. Cortisol tends to spike at certain times of day before declining in the evening as we wind down for the night. However, excessive clutter<\/a> could actually prevent your cortisol level from decreasing like it\u2019s supposed to. We have compiled a list of common sources of clutter and some tips about how to help<\/a>! Mark another point for the merits of home organization!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
