Less Clothing can Reduce Stress

What am I going to wear today?
That daily question often consumes time and causes stress.
Some people might stand before a stuffed closet and still think, 'There's nothing to wear.'
But, what if they had only six items of clothing to choose from and wear for an entire month?
That's the idea behind Six Items or Less, a self-imposed exercise in frugality, a gentle protest against fashion consumerism and the high cost of apparel.
New York City advertising executive Heidi Hackemer came up with the idea.
"I was talking with friend of the internet about how much time and energy we spend on clothes."
"She and I wanted to see if we can get our wardrobe down to a uniform and see what type of effect that would have on our lives."
The two friends shared their idea with other friends.
"We sent out a few tweets and all of a sudden, within five days, we had almost 100 people from around the world saying that they too wanted to take part in this experiment with us for a month"
It proved to be an interesting month for a wide variety of people.
Hackemer was surprised at how few people seemed to notice that she was wearing the same six items the whole month.
She says, "Having fewer choices reduced stress in her life."
"I learned what's really important and what's really worth stressing over. I also found that physical stuff that we allow into our world, really jams up our mind. And our mind can be quite a powerful and positive thing if we cleared up a little bit."
