8. If you want to declutter your mind, try challenging negativity.
When you can identify the thoughts that are cluttering your mind, you will understand best how to handle them. Negativity can profoundly hinder your mind and body and take up much room in your head. Although it is normal to feel sad or disappointed from time to time, when you start to talk poorly to yourself, it can add to the clutter you are already experiencing. The moment you become aware of these thoughts is to do some self-reflection on how you are talking to yourself.

Start by asking what you are saying to and about yourself. To shift your mindset, you have to start challenging yourself. The moment you notice any negative thoughts, you have to question if the idea is accurate or if it’s a misrepresentation. Every time you self-reflect and catch yourself correcting those negative thoughts, it becomes easier for your mind to replace them with positive ones. The easier it becomes, the quicker your mind will be able to do it in the future. When you self-reflect and shift the self-talk from negative to positive ones, your mind will go from feeling cluttered and chaotic to lighter and optimistic.
