Joyful Decluttering

Start this week with a simple tip to reduce stress and chaos: Joyfully declutter. Decluttering is about organizing and arranging your surroundings, so you feel centered and refreshed.

• Pick a room, closet or drawer that needs decluttering. Ease into a calm mindset with deep breaths.

• While present in the moment, decide whether an object brings value or happiness to your life. If not, place it in a box to store or give away.

• Soon you’ll find yourself with an open, organized space arranged with the items you use and love most.
