What It Feels To Declutter…

An hour ago I was lingering in my room and looking around for some things I can fix when my attention shifted to my closet. As I rummaged through it, I realized I had kept so many things I didn’t need such as clothes I never wore, clothes I only wore once, swimwear I was hoping to still wear, concert tickets I thought would last a lifetime, accessories I no longer feel fit to wear, wallets I kept for years, bank statements of more than six months, and pictures I can live without.

I can’t believe I kept so much more than I needed. And no wonder I get stressed all the time just by the moment I’d open my closet.

So without a tinge of hesitation I placed them all in a paper bag, very much ready and willing to throw away. And while I was doing the entire cleaning I fee freer and great. Then it occurred to me:  sometimes all it really takes to free yourself from all the stress is to just let go. No need to spend on a grand vacation or go on a shopping spree which a lot of women do when they are feeling bad or stressed. I’ve done that, too, and I always ended buying things I never really needed or would only wear once. I did think about the many times it happened as I saw those clothes in my closet which I never wore even once and  had now ended up in the paper bag waiting to be given or thrown away.

Less is more, so they say. And I now understand what that really meant :)
