Well if you know me I am kinda of a... I hoard sentimental things person. Like the shirt I wore when me and my husband met. Or the hat and outter covering he wore when our kids where born. Also I'm a "I'm totally going to be able to wear that again one day so I dont want to get rid of it" person too. Well recently clutter has just made my skin cringe! So I have bravely been getting rid of things. Like bag fulls of things , yall. I have been so proud of myself. Slowly my anxitey about getting rid of things is going away. Thank you Jesus! Now dont get me wrong I will still keep the very sentimental things that mean alot to me , but all those smaller clothes if I dont absolutely LOVE them they are getting donated! And if something fits me right now and I have it just because it Fits and I dont Love it... BYE BYE! My cloths have been making me feel frumpy and old and that is not me. AT ALL!
Sunday I went through my closet in 5 mins and got rid of a whole Garbage bag full of cloths! 5 MINS and I got rid of that much stuff I have been holding on too. And it felt SOOOOO GOOD!
I've been selling some odds and ends things on a local resale sight and saving all that money in a coffee can so I can buy myself a MAC desktop , to edit photos and so my kids have a place to do some homeschool work on. So out with all the old junk that just sits in my back room and hello new computer and clean back room =] Plus when we build our home we dont want to bring extra useless clutter into it.
The less and less clutter I have I feel anxiety lifting and feeling so much better!
I have gotten rid of 2 more garbage bags full of stuff and have a box half full. Im going through the girls rooms with them so they can keep their most loved toys/ things and lets get rid of the other cause yall know birthday parties and christmas will be coming and MORE toys will enter our house.
So this is a new me and Im have way less anxiety about getting rid of the old. Now dont get me wrong I am still sentimental and those EXTRA special things to me I will keep but for real yall I know I have gotten so much better!!
Anyone else like that?
Are you a sentimental hoarder or can you toss anything??
I challenge you to go into your closet and take 5 mins just 5 mins. And look around, If it doesnt make you happy when you look at it, if you dont love it, if it is something that you have been holding onto for 3 years and you still havent worn it... Toss it into a garbage bag and take it to your local donation center! I promise it will make you feel so much better and so much anxiety will be lifted and you will want to keep getting rid of things you dont use, need, or love!
God bless,
Heather
