4 Things To Include In Spring Decluttering For A Fresh Start

Now that spring is in full blast, it is the perfect time for a fresh start. There’s something so refreshing and energizing about letting the fresh air in your home and giving yourself a little reset. With that said, one of the best ways to embrace the season’s renewing energy is by spring decluttering.

However, spring cleaning doesn’t just affect your physical items, but your mental clarity as well. It’s important to keep ourselves in check and clear our minds, leading to a more balanced life.

Your spring cleaning checklist isn’t just for your junk drawers and kitchen pantry – let’s explore the mental clutter you need to clear off.

Unmet Needs

It may sound surprising, but not meeting your needs is usually the main cause of mental clutter. The urge to do something, only to suppress it later without action, creates a mental pile-up, making it hard to focus and truly feel at ease.

That’s why reflection and a self-check-up go a long way. Recognizing your needs and giving them space to exist brings awareness. And by being aware, you’re taking proactive action on your mental spring decluttering.

Neglecting Time For Yourself

Once life gets hectic, everything and everyone becomes a priority but you. Responsibilities pile up, your schedule is full, and you simply don’t have the time to do the things that make you happy.

With this kind of mindset, you’re only setting yourself up for disappointment. Your well-being should be the center of your life and your driving force. Neglecting it only makes you overwhelmed, making the simplest tasks seem too much to handle. That said, this spring, make yourself and your well-being a priority.

The Comfort Zone

I understand how we all love our comfort zones. However, you already know what happens once you stay in it for too long. Most humans thrive on routines, but once they become too familiar, they might lose their effect. Think about it – you’re practicing self-care techniques you know by heart, yet you don’t feel restored as before.

With your spring decluttering, don’t forget to tune up your self-care habits. Letting go of outdated routines and making space for new ones helps support your current needs and energy.

Self-Doubt

Since the season is all about release, self-doubt is something that needs to go! Those voices you hear about your progress being too slow or like you’re not doing well enough – that’s just the mental chatter talking. Being aware of your resilience, small victories, and personal strengths can get you through everything – not just this spring, but every moment of your life.

Spring decluttering is all about creating space, both mentally and physically. With action, this spring just may be the best one yet!
