    The Correlation Between Anxiety and Clutter

    The Correlation Between Anxiety and Clutter

    If you feel anxious in a cluttered or messy environment, there's a reason.
    In fact, in a study by UCLA, people in the study who described their homes as messy or cluttered had elevated levels of cortisol that’s been associated with greater chronic stress and linked with other negative health outcomes, such as fatigue, anxiety and unhealthy eating habits.
    Maybe like me you’ve experienced the feeling that it’s literally hard to breathe with all the clutter that’s filling your home.
    Or you’ve noticed that you simply don’t feel your best when you’re in a home that’s filled with stuff be it anxious, triggered, impatient, all the things...
    Listen in to today's episode on the correlation between our OUTER environment 🏠 and our INNER environment 🧠❤️ and how you can ease the burden of clutter.

14 day challenge

Listened to Katy for the first time during a online conference. I purchased her clutter crusher 14 day challenge and it have been very motivating! I been listening to her and am looking forward to more of her podcasts. Starting to find decluttering fun instead of dreading it.

So inspiring 🤍

I’ve been listening to Katy’s podcast for years and have slowly implemented many of her practices & habits. I finally decided to join her 14 day clutter challenge and this is exactly what I needed to take things up a notch. It’s so helpful to have all the support of this community.
