It takes a lot for me to let stuff go and I admit it, I am a hoarder, but I know for my wellbeing that I need to. I do the method of when I want new items I need to declutter something I no longer need and be rid of items I already have and have no use for anymore.
I go by the method of when I leave my room to not leave empty handed if something needs to be desposed of and if it can be recycled.
Doing one bit at a time helps me and so I don't tidy all in one go as I know this demotivates me, but one bit at a time, check out my EBook called:
Things to Change one day at a time
Just making that one change can make all the difference and I will take a long look at it and ask myself could this do somebody else if it is in good condition or not and see if any family may want it or it gets given to be donated at a Charity shop.
So this week I got rid of some bags of mine and put one in the bin and another to be recycled with some items to be donated and even though they were nice bags I knew that I was using them for storage but that is why I use Storage boxes so it let them go.
It is because I want to invest in another bag I want that I have seen in a Charity shop and no it is better for me. I like rucksacks that have many compartments so have limited them down to two.
Books I have tried to clear but I no I can't let them go until I have read them, and that is another thing I do, I am real to myself of what items I can really let go and so I am making way so I have my books displayed as they are on a book case but also stored in a rucksack so this week I am going to be changing things around do I can get rid of that rucksack, so technically I still have 3 rucksacks but once this bag goes I am then owning two.
Letters, I find hard to clear but let go, because keeping old documents helped me get money through PPI, so I again I keep it and then it is sortiing them out into different categories.
When it comes to clothes can be tough for me but use the method of "Do I really need them and do I wear them and are the items I know I am never gonna wear?" this does help me in not overdoing it and I select items in my basket but leave them in their for a while and go over if I truly need to have the item now.
I don't what a overhaul of clothes but items I know I will get good wear out of it and lasts me a long time.
You should check out my site called carriesversitilefashion as I post on this site twice a week, Monday's and Thursday 's of fashion I like to wear and got my mind on in adding to my wardrobe.
Household items at the minute I don't need to worry about such things as I live back with family again but for me I don't like to have loads of items just enough of what I know I will use and what it will bring to me, and if any creates more clutter I put back on the store shelf.
It is a hard task but when I see a good set of items not overflowng I feel good and going to have a massive change that will help to and see if there are more items I don't need.
Many thanks for reading,
