ones that bring up negative feelings. Life is too short for you to let your stuff to make you feel bad about your- self!

You may feel real sadness for the vision that never came to be, what you’d hoped your life would be like. You bought or held onto something because you hoped life would take you down a different path, one where you’d need it. But it didn’t, and the item remained. There may be other emotions that this generates. Negative ones that make the process of going through
There may be a feeling of waste and regret. You spent money on things as an investment, maybe a gamble for what you thought you might do in the future. You were confident that it would be an expense you’d justify through action. However, you never took that action, or didn’t take it as much as you thought you would when you made the purchase. If you happen to be struggling financially now, you may regret that you don’t have that money now and are left only with the item that you don’t use. The reality and the feelings can be hard to face. There can be a sense of shame when you find an item, or multiples of them, were items you kept buying to replace the ones you couldn’t find because your home was too disorga- nized. There can be shame or disappoint- ment because you truly wanted or needed to change, and just didn’t follow through. This is very com- mon when coming across items that were meant to change bad habits: “I

They can cause you to want to retreat from the tough work you’re doing, going through your things to evaluate whether they have value now. When these emotions arise, remem- ber: These are tough questions, and tough decisions to come to about your life, but you’re going through this because you’ve already declared, “I need to own less. I want to own less.” If you’re committed to paring down and reducing what you own, but you’re stuck letting go of items that are “still good”, it’s important to get underneath not the practicality of the item and its potential usefulness, but truly the purpose it plays in your cur- rent life and your foreseeable future. Challenge yourself, every day, to fill your life only with the things that pro- vide value to who you are today, and who you are about to become, not the
