15. One activity that you can partake in to declutter your mind and mood is to eliminate anything unnecessary.
Some thoughts or feelings remain in our minds that do not serve a purpose. For instance, if you are dwelling on a decision made yesterday or over-analyzing an outfit that you chose for the family pictures, you are allowing it to remain in your mind. That contributes to the overall clutter and serves no productive purpose. Part of decluttering your mind is distinguishing between what is essential and deserves a space in your mind and what is non-essential and needs to go. If you are an overthinker or someone who worries a lot, you may find that you will have more things in your mind and life that is not truly necessary or important in the grand scheme of things.

If you can identify what those items are, you will have an easier time eliminating as many of those items as possible and declutter a bunch of junk out of your mind. That can not only clear up some space in your mind and improve your overall mood, but it can make room for when those essential items do occur. It might mean that you tackle the junk drawers in your home or tidy up your work desk. By tackling some of these more manageable tasks, you can clear them from your mind and stop giving them energy.
