Use Marie Kondo’s suggestion from The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up and question your stuff. It eliminates the fear of missing something or not having enough, and determines if it’s really our hearts holding on, or fear that is encouraging the tight grip. It’s why I recommend that people who try minimalist fashion challenge Project 333 put excess clothing aside for three months instead of donating it. I told my husband I wanted to donate them and he said, “No, I really like those.” When I told him they’d been in the garage for months, he agreed it was a good time to let go.Ī little separation goes a long way when it comes to parting with your stuff.
Two months later I brought the vases back in and set them up on the bureau. I kept waiting for him to ask about them, but he never did and after a few days, I forget about my treasured vases.
Would I miss them? I wrapped them up, placed them in a box, and put the box in the garage. I wanted to see what it would be like to live without them. Sounds meaningful right? They were lovely, but I realized that I only noticed them when I was dusting them, or accidentally knocking one over. During our early stages of decluttering we had 3 vases on our bedroom bureau, each holding a flower that represented the flowers at our wedding. This is one of the most effective strategies for seeing what kind of value, if any, an item adds to your life. Our heart strings are strong, but the following recommendations will show you how to get rid of clutter you care about.
You’ll have an easier time when it comes to the more challenging things, but there may still be a few items that have a hold on your heart. When letting go, it helps to start with the easy stuff like duplicates, and things you know you won’t miss to strengthen your decluttering muscles. We may hold on to different items, but we experience a similar struggle. Even though a clutter-free life sounds appealing, some things are harder to let go of than others. We all have an ugly coffee mug, a framed picture on the wall that we walk by every day without noticing, or a scarf that while treasured, is never worn.
