Psychological Studies Show Minimalism Reduces Depression & Anxiety

Thanks for checking out LUXE BLOG. In today’s post, let’s keep it short, mostly bullet pointed, & healthy. Cool?

Some of the things we’ve recently read or heard:

• 2020’s perils have led to unexpected, positive side effects.
• Humanity is being challenged to improve itself or face extinction.
• The human brain calculates every item in a room/area and is programmed for simplicity (hence caves).
• Since COVID-19’s arrival, Google searches for “benefits of minimalism” have soared.
• Contemporary luxury homes in Metro Phoenix are a hot thing.
• First-time minimalist property owners report improved mood and productivity.
• Interior Designers specializing in minimalism are booked.

What’s Causing The Minimalist Living Boom of 2020?

Hmm, Perhaps:

• Financial constraints due to unemployment.
• Residents stuck at home are de-cluttering and sharing videos online.
• Raised awareness of clutter’s apparent ability to cause stress and depression.
• A shift in psychology that “extra items create extra risk for virus’ to exist”.
• People simplifying ahead of an unknown, radically unpredictable future.
