Will decluttering my small home and going minimalist make me feel better?

[MissSunshine2]

I have a small space at home. I have become sick of owning so many things. I was starting to feel like my stuff was owning me. So I filled three bags with old clothes, for the op shop and I’ve decided to give away most of my art gifts that people gave me and ornaments. I’m planning to only keep photos of loved ones and my grandmother’s jewellery box that she gave me before she died and a few pieces of artwork from my parents. Clothes will be what’s necessary.

I believe that you will feel better and it won't be so crowded in your house.

Plus by donating some things that you once loved someone else will get good use of it.

I wish you could come and help me with doing the same thing in my home. I can't do it all by myself and I need to downsize.

If I was feeling better and not so sick, I would have done it a long time ago.

Have fun! 😊

So happy for you!!
yes and yes. Keep up the good work. The challenge part is to do a budget. So that you don’t spend the money to buy other things.
we have a big house but very minimal stuff.
i prefer life experiences vs materialistic things.

I recently sold everything and moved overseas to a furnished 1 bedroom condo. Everything I own fits into 2 suitcases, a backpack and 2 boxes and I've never felt better. I'll never go back.

Yes, I take a load to the dump periodically. It makes me feel lighter.

oh definitely, i have cleaned and rearranged things and usually feel really good after. i think it'll do you good.

It feels better but I can't cause it logically means whatever cost required to gain such is lost

Having stuff weigh you down costs something too, just saying.

Yes 100% do it now.
