Decluttering can be a difficult task as possessions can create emotional baggage and unresolved issues.
We become attached to our possessions which leads to difficult in letting go of the items.
Try to think of reason to let go of clutter when struggling with getting started with the organizing process.
Ask yourself the following questions when going through the decluttering process:
If I went to the store today, would I buy this item?
Do I have anything similar that has more meaning?
If I get rid of this item, would it impact my life?
How much space is this item taking up?
Would I like to make someone else happy with this item?
Think about your current life goals and if these items are adding value to you current lifestyle. Are your possessions getting in the way of you moving forward with your current goals?
Start with one area of your life, such as a closet or drawer or cupboard. Go through the area, purge and see how it feels to let go of unused or out of date items.
Happy Organizing
