I was like that, until, 10 years ago, when in a business conference, I heard this psychologist explaining that hoarding material things is just a reflection of hoarding emotions and feelings inside us. I didn’t want to let go so many things just because of every single thing explained in this animation. Like some of you, the question always pop up: “what if I need it later” or after I got rid of something, later I needed it. However, right after I heard this psychologist, I got home, and I started to get rid of things without thinking “what if”. That was the beginning of rewiring my neurons. For the last 10 years, I adapted this rule, if for the whole year I did not wear or use it, it is out of the house. So at the end of the year I do a deep cleaning of every closet, drawer, shelf, containers, etc. My apartment looks clean, spacious, uncluttered, and I feel so, so light and free. Trust me, even today, after 10 years that I started this transformation, time to time, that evil thinking pop up “I shouldn’t get rid of it”. But I learned to ignore it, and my faith has helped me a lot. In Mathew 6:19-20 the Lord says "19 Do not store up for yourselves treasures on the earth, where moth and rust consume and where thieves dig through and steal. 20 But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust consumes and where thieves do not dig through nor steal."
