I used to live in the home of stuff. I had stuff-paralysis. I was afraid to throw anything away because what would happen if I ever needed it…wouldn’t it be wasteful to buy it again? What if I just lost 10 lbs, then those jeans would fit? I could learn to like steamed vegetables, so the food steamer we received as a wedding present won’t go to waste. My great-grandma worked hard on that sewing machine, and even though I don’t sew or have any desire to sew, I should keep it because it was given to me by my grandmother. And those emotions about stuff made me keep stuff (and clean it, maintain it, find a storage place for it) that I no longer needed, wanted or had a desire to use. Until I was drowning in stuff…and decided to make a change. Decluttering a freeing process. It allows the old to be removed. And after completion, youre surrounded with open space. Open space helps our psyche and give us peace that “things” are not the way to happiness. redefinedmom/how-to-declutter-your-house-in-five-minutes/
