Tip of the Day

Is your messy environment depressing you?

Working under the assumption that depression is not a lack of happiness but rather a lack of vitality, there may be a little something to that, as a seemingly insurmountable clean-up job is dispiriting.

Straightening up is not impossible, and you could spend just 10 minutes today and make a huge difference.

Plus, a lot of messy people are extremely successful – they simply have housekeepers or children to do their dirty work!

Depression doesn't come from the environment, it comes from your thoughts. Focus on changing your thinking rather than worrying about any other side issue that is a distraction.

Your life isn't a mess just because your house is.

And your house being a mess is just a problem, not a character flaw.
