Give your tootsies some TLC.
Every January, like clockwork, the urge to get my life together hits with the force of a freight train. There’s something about the start of a year that makes organizing my closet feel less like a chore and more like a gateway to inner peace (which is clutch, given that the holiday chaos typically leaves my place in shambles).
Here’s how it usually goes down: After months of avoiding even looking at all the clutter filling my room, I pull out my sticky labels and storage solutions and get to work. And by the time the dust settles (literally), there’s this undeniable calm that washes over me—as if tidying my surroundings has somehow tidied my mind, too.
Turns out, it’s not just me. Clinical psychologist Carla Marie Manly, PhD, previously told Well+Good that tidying can be a powerful practice for your mental health. “When so much feels uncontrollable in the world, anxiety and stress tend to dissipate when something as easy and rewarding as cleaning is within our control,” she says. And according to neuroscientist Nan Wise, PhD, cleaning and organizing channels the fight-or-flight energy caused by stress into something productive, increasing feel-good neurochemicals like dopamine while reducing cortisol and adrenaline.
Whether you, like me, get the annual organizing itch—or you’ve been feeling a lack of motivation to get your life in order, give yourself the gift of a few new storage solutions. From closet racks to clever kitchen organizers, these eight game-changing essentials may just be the secret to streamlining your space *and* your headspace this year.
