When talking about decluttering, people often refer to a physical space. The conversation tends to lean towards cleaning a room or organizing a closet or clearing off your desk space.

One thing that is not talked about enough is decluttering your mind.

If you have ever been challenged with removing clutter from your environment, here is a secret for you…until you begin removing clutter from your mind, it is going to be difficult to clear out your physical space.

“If you can change your mind, you can change your life.” ― William James

Here are 3 ways to start decluttering your life by decluttering your mind.

1. Tune out

I am going to argue that the best way to start decluttering your mind is to turn off the television set. If it is on television, there is an 80+% chance it is depressing or negatively bent.

I welcome you to challenge this on any given night at any given time.

The same goes for radio talk shows. Stop listening! Talk about irate! How many people listen to talk radio and sit there and argue with the radio! How obnoxious is that? Like you do not have enough chaos in your life? Let’s just create some. You don’t have enough stress in your life, you need to go looking until you find some?
