Throwing Things Away
Don't let your guilt about TRASH keep you from letting go of clutter.
From Clutter-Keeper to Not Quite a Minimalist
I have helped clients sort through and organize all kinds of spaces—garages, offices, bedrooms, barns, basements, sheds, playrooms, service vehicles, and even an RV. I have learned no matter what space we are organizing and whether my clients are high-income or low-income, they ALL have a TON OF STUFF. While helping them go through everything and make decisions about what to keep or sell, I realized that almost everyone has the same struggles with letting go of clutter.
Let Go of Guilt
Instead of focusing on guilt, try to reframe your mindset. Consider the positive impact that letting go can have on your life. Donating or selling items can provide a new home for your possessions where they'll be appreciated and used. It also creates space and calm in your home, which can have a positive impact on your mental well-being.
Why Organize?
The feeling of accomplishment you will gain from getting your home organized will spill over into other areas of your life, making you feel more confident, more capable, and happier.
