I always find that when I’ve finally cleared the clutter from an area, I can’t help taking a deep breath of relief every time I look at it. It is palpable peace. Amazing feeling.

@letuswalkinthelightofthelo5350 10 дней назад

I took 5 loads to the dump. Two 10 foot Uhaul trucks and three cargo vans full. Most of what I disposed of could have been useful to someone else or valuable enough to sell it but I couldn’t take having my home full and bursting out like it was I just wanted to be done. I was not feeling altruistic in my purging method. My husband was a hoarder and a doomsday prepper (was or still is?). We had literal tons of food. It’s gone now. I couldn’t take it anymore.

Amen I like this. I'm working on decluttering. God is healing me everyday. Clutter is definitely a defense mechanism caused by trauma. You really start to feel a freedom.

@@Add_Account485 For me clutter keeps me safe. I was abused by a family friend who was living with us when I was very little, he would sneak into my room late at night, I discovered if I left my toys between my door and my bed he would have a hard time getting to me and sometimes the noise he made would wake my parents. The more toys on the floor, the safer I was. This is something I am still dealing with as an adult. Thats how trauma caused clutter in my life. I hope that makes sense.

@MysteryGrey 10 месяцев назад

Only keep the things you will use. If you have stuff that is good but you don't need it, give it away to someone as "free stuff" or sell it.

@nonelost1 7 месяцев назад

@@kristinmeyer489 Then again, I have seen so many items for sale on OfferUp that say (ex:) “posted six months ago.” Or I see people who have a boatload of items for sale that say(ex:) “posted five days ago.” In other words, every week they cancel the ads and start new ones for the same unsold items so that people don’t think they’re hoarding the items in their houses for months on end. It also lets potential buyers know that the sellers can’t get what they want for the items. Me, I just want to get rid of the crap before it drives me nuts. Finally, if you want to get rid of clutter, don’t take up trashpicking. How do I know this? EXPERIENCE!

This is perhaps THE BEST explanation on the benefits and the psycological aspects of decluttering. Happily a lot of us have seen and experienced the life changing magic of decluttering, but to watch your explanation takes it to another level. Thank you so much, especially for the ones you motivate to start the journey ❤

@eileenthomas9983 7 месяцев назад

Thank you so much for your advice - I wrote a note to myself - each day throw something out or give other things away. There’s no pressure only a simple task and it gains a momentum of it’s own . The lady at our op shop said “you always bring in nice things”, it made mr feel I was on the right road.

@zingara76 7 месяцев назад

In 2018 I did a huge declutter. Around 60% of my items I trash or give away. That truly change my life in every way possible. I’m a big believer, that in order to welcome new things to your life (New Energy) you must let go of old.

When I think about the times in my life when I was accumulating a lot of junk I didn’t even really want, it is obvious in hindsight I was functioning especially poorly spiritually and emotionally. I felt out of control of what was happening in my life. Curating your things and having only what you need and value free you from the baggage in every context.

@shelbyandmargaret 6 месяцев назад

Thanks for the video. This is something we have practiced for 5 or 6 years and as you say, it's empowering. I provide care for a member of the family and working away from home was not an option. Downsizing, getting rid of things we haven't used in years freed up space and earned us money in some cases. Our smaller home feels larger because it's filled with essential items only. Our social life consist of a small group like minded friends providing a more stress free environment. We're saving more money, blessing friends and family more often and being overall happier🤠🤠

Thanks for this message. It was important for me to hear. I never had clutter until I began accumulating the emotional pain and inner turmoil from multiple toxic, abusive relationships and traumatic experiences over a period of years. It’s taking time to redefine who I am and what stays and what goes. I’m letting go bit by bit. I think we need to be patient with ourselves. Clutter can go deep at times.

@takechancespayattention 7 месяцев назад

Yes! Have patience. Clutter clearing can help create the certainty of self that makes the future more clear and makes decisions easier.

I imagine because I am at a final stage of clutter clearing your video popped up. I have had items in storage unit for over a year. I was always "afraid" to let it go because I may be "without". I have been "without" it for over a year.😅 It is a waste of money to store stuff. And ultimately you always will have what you need. It is so freeing. I donated everything to a local furniture bank for veterans an those in need.❤

Thank you for your video. I've been decluttering for a little over a year. I had to start small and it was a little painful at first, but it's getting a lot easier. Once I hit that stride the relief was amazing. You are exactly right. It starts to affect the rest of your life. I'm seeing the clutter everywhere that has been in my life way to long. I've read a lot of the comments and I can hear the same relief I feel. It's liberating and cathartic. I hope you are doing well. Thank you for sharing.
