A messy room, a desk full of books, colorful notes, old photographs, dried flowers and a cup of coffee are not synonymous with chaotic life, sometimes the disorder of a space is the harmony of a creative spirit, it is our essence and the logic of chaos where we identify ourselves: it is our private world.
Throughout our lives we have been taught that it is necessary to be organized, because order is control and, in turn, an organized environment gives us a sense of security. In part, all of this is true; however, we cannot conceive of disorder as essentially negative. Is disorder the essence of failure, inactivity, neglect, and neglect for many?
- An office or a messy house is not synonymous with chaotic life.
- Just as an empty table does not symbolize an empty mind Is my messy space just the rumor of my active.
- Free and creative mind?.
Believe it or not, there is a real psychology of disorder. It is a scientific trend specialized in the analysis of what lies behind this behavior and its characteristics. The University of Minnesota in the United States has concluded that a messy space enhances the creativity of its residents However, there are many nuances to this data; Let’s think about it.
We’ll start by explaining a really curious fact. Tracey Emin is a British artist who, in 1999, presented to the world an exceptional and shocking work, it was just a messy bed. Did it contain clothes, cigarettes, fabrics, bottles of vodka? The ensemble, far from being aesthetic and attractive, represented a personal drama; depicted a person experiencing an emotional drama, it seemed that his life was adrift.
For the play, titled “My Bed”, she was nominated for the Turner Award and in 2014 in London Christie sold the composition at auction for 2. 5 million pounds. Modern art is a challenge, but the artist he said himself after the excitement caused by the auction. who usually works in this kind of messy environment, because disorder, at least for her, is the seed of creativity.
A study published in the New York Times? I came to the same conclusion: it has shown that sometimes a somewhat messy environment frees up the spirit of conventionalism and can move in all directions to create new responses and new ideas. We cannot forget that in the stages of creativity lies this “storm of ideas”, from which the decision arises from chaos and, therefore, from innovation.
The disorder will not be a problem and will even be beneficial if you have any control over it. Psychologist Kathleen Vohs, an expert in this trend of order and disorder, explains that in a work environment, for example, there must be adequate organizational efficiency.
However, creating a messy visual space in terms of objects and colors generates a stimulus that helps our brain to relax and create, however, we have to take into account individual differences: not everyone tolerates this type of imbalance, some people need organization to be productive.
In any case, the conclusion we reach is that a messy room is not the reflection of a person with a chaotic and irresponsible life, nor of a person concerned with control and order in their private spaces and affairs, does not suffer from any mental disorder or is a reflection of an ancastic personality.
Each inhabits our private spaces in their own way and with total freedom, each song is a reflection of our habits and customs and should not be criticized or labeled, it is often said, for example, that disordered people need goals, have different internal conflicts and often cannot express themselves because they feel a harmful attachment to their memories of the past.
Popular wisdom, isn’t it always fair, and if today we choose not to make the bed or the house, it’s because we can have another priority at the time. You have nothing to explain. The mess that is chosen, that is controlled and that does not overwhelm is not bad; it’s peace of mind for a mind that identifies with your needs.
Because order is probably the pleasure of reason, but that disorder, for some, is the pleasure of imagination?
