When you think of clutter it is likely you think of physical “stuff” – all those items lying about, that you keep promising yourself you’ll clean up. Clutter has a way of distracting you, building confusion with what is important and what is simply trash.

A crowded, cluttered area magically attracts other items that don’t need to be there. For most substantial clutter can be distracting. It kills your focus and concentration.

But it is not just “things” – clutter can also exist in your mind. Having too many unnecessary things in your head at once distracts and ruins your energy, too. Mental cluter can keep you from focusing on the things that matter.

Here are three simple ways to de-clutter your mind: removing thoughts, obsessions, and other mental messes so you enjoy less stress and anxiety and better mental wellness. By addressing this mental clutter your thinking will immediately improve with creativity, productivity and clarity!

1 – Divorce Yourself from Drama

This might mean saying goodbye to some people in your life. If they don’t provide more positives than negatives, their drama might not be worthwhile. Being around a dramatic individual regularly fills your head with unnecessary distractions.

The issues that the drama queens in your life are constantly dealing with become your issues to some extent. Ditch the drama. Say no to issues and individuals you don’t have to deal with. If the drama isn’t yours, you shouldn’t have to put up with it.

2 – Stop Living in the Past and Worrying about the Future

Well, maybe you can worry about the future just a little bit. It makes a lot of sense to plan your life. If not, you’re letting chance, other people, and circumstances decide how your life will go.

You probably know what we’re talking about here. It doesn’t make any sense to obsess over things in your past. They’re gone, and you can’t change them. Use any lessons learned to move on with more information.

As far as the future goes, constantly worrying about it won’t do you any good. This clogs up your brain and leaves no space for your mental machinery to deal with your life. It’s time to declutter your mind by ditching past and future worries!

3 – If It Runs on Electricity, Spend Less Time with It

From when some people wake up until they go to bed, they are bathing in digital distractions. You have your own unique electrical field. Constantly exposing yourself to the electromagnetic fields of your phone and tablet, television, laptop, and all the consumer electronics you encounter at work and play can fry your brain and fill it with mind-numbing clutter.

These are things you can do right now, this very minute. When you do, you immediately start clearing out your and declutter your mind. The benefits are less stress, more focus, and better mental health; you might even find yourself sleeping better at night while skyrocketing your confidence!
