What Mental Clutter Really Is

  • Mental clutter consists of thoughts, emotions, and patterns that no longer serve you and take up cognitive space.
  • When your mind fills with unnecessary mental debris, creativity and presence shrink and peace is blocked.
ADVICE

Do A Mental Inventory

  • Do a mental inventory by asking if a thought serves you, helps solve a problem, or brings joy.
  • Change habitual thinking by patiently rewiring mental patterns that feel important but are unhelpful.
ADVICE

Do A Morning Brain Dump
