Want to feel less stressed? Try cleaning out your junk drawer.
Decluttering may be the simplest path to destressing.
Research has shown eliminating unneeded or unused things and organizing is good for focus, self esteem and mood.
You can actually lower your cortisol stress hormone by purging areas in your home, especially the places where you spend the most time.
Professional organizer Kim Salisbury is the owner of Home Method Co. She studied psychology in college. And, she says she uses the psychology background every day in her work helping families clear the clutter.
"When you are living in spaces that are calm and organized, it brings your blood pressure down, it brings your anxiety down. It brings your stress level down," says Kim.
Kim says the goal is to make your home feel like a sanctuary and it doesn't have to take a lot of time or money to make it happen.

Here is a fun, helpful solution my sister just did: she is using her old roomba vacuum in the garage!! She lives along a main street plus the wind blows toward her garage door. She would manually sweep, or shop-vacuum clean and in a few days it looked like nobody had paid any attention to the garage in months, because dirt and bits of leaves would blow under the door. Now sge starts up the old roomba and the garage makes her smile every time she pulls her car in. Brilliant!!
