Living with chronic illness means making smart choices about energy. Here's how to create a calmer home without exhausting yourself.
When I was really unwell, I used disposable items and ready meals—not ideal, but it saved precious energy for what mattered most.
Here's why clutter affects us more than we realise:
- Elevates cortisol levels (hello, stress!)
- Drains mental energy as our brains constantly process visual chaos
- Increases fall risks (especially with dizziness or mobility issues)
- Creates feelings of overwhelm and guilt
You don't need to do it all. Pick ONE thing. That's progress.
