Your Space Reflects Your Inner Self

Our external environment is a mirror of our internal state. Matsumoto points out that cluttered or untidy spaces often indicate an unsettled mind. He writes, “When you’re busy, it is easy to forget to shut any drawer or cabinet door you have opened, but this is a sign of your heart being untidy.” By maintaining a clean and orderly living space, we promote mental clarity and emotional well-being. For instance, consistently closing drawers and tidying up as we go can help prevent feelings of chaos and overwhelm.
