Finding a sense of identity in prized, personal material possessions such as gadgets, clothing, and accessories can be extremely unhealthy. Not only do certain materialistic goods distract you from reality but they can weigh you down, and in general, is an inviting call that leads to a certain extent of chaos that affects you financially, spiritually and virtually. It can affect your social life, your school life and your family life.

We live in a generation of constant upgrades, updates and keeping up with the Jones's, or Kardashian's. If you feel an excessive need to purchase, purchase, purchase but feel no internal peace within, do you find your worth in that particular good? Instead, finding raw and real worth should come from within you, not from the outside, mediated world.

Materialistic possessions will not satisfy you, forever. Sure, they can mend whatever you are feeling in that moment, but, money really does not, will not, and should never, buy happiness. If it does, this is a rather clear indicator of a lack of something. A lack of individual pride, a lack of love, a lack of...you name it. Excessive cluttering of materialistic goods can be draining and can affect every facet in your life.

Reducing stress and living a healthy lifestyle is rather, simplistic. By devoting a little of your time to getting rid of the clutter in your life and maintaining things by good energy, you’ll reap the rewards of pleasing areas such as reducing stress, and will discover the beauty of organized, productive existence.

The best way to tackle this is to get rid of toxicity. In your home, work space, friend group and over all life. The style you live in, says a lot about the individual you are inside and outside. Showing off, isn't the best asset when it comes to flaunting items that really do no good.

Combining small steps will lead to big improvements that will be easier to maintain. Finding peace in the most simplest of ways means enjoying more time and giving off less harmful energy.
