    You are what you live in. Holding onto all that stuff takes up a lot of mental and emotional energy that you might not be aware of. Decluttering material things you no longer need or that don’t serve you anymore can help you declutter your inner being. The process itself clears your mind and gives you more space for productivity. Today, Kat Nieh highlights the importance of self-control specifically on buying things you do not need. Letting go of the urge to buy unnecessary things can be stressful.
