I have always liked stuff, and had to try an minimalist approach, and had to get rid of books, video tapes and scrapbooks and regretted it.
People say you shouldn't have regrets, but I do. I loved having items I can look back on and continued to make more scrapbooks. It is a good way to store memories, but then it is the realisation, do I look at them?
Yes I do!
So, what things must we have in our lives?
1. Items that solve a problem: What I mean is things like Instruction manuals for items we presently use in our home, but items that we don't can be disposed of and added to recycling.
2. Items that we still nurture: Example: Photos and cards of our children as babies, like I have kept Henry first shoes he wore, that were bought from Clarks, and would love to put these on a shelf with other items he used as a baby.
3. Items that create a good routine: This can be having your cup of tea at a certain time. I like in the morning before I actually get up, to go in the bathroom and brush my teeth as I like to have a good breath and feel self conscious when not doing so. It sets up my day and then will shower and do a bit of self care.
4. Items that help us to relax: This for me is right now as I write this blog post, and listening to music and have to play a few songs in the morning before I get up each day and before I go to sleep. I find it soothing and do have a good nights sleep.
It is all things that has a meaning behind it and creating self love and care, and celebrating what we have in our lives that makes us who we are today, and keep creating love in our lives, and makes you sit back and open doors to you all over the world and the place you are now.
