@melb_lifeandhome: Decluttering or getting rid of things 📦 can be HARD. It doesn’t mean you need to get rid of everything you love, but if you’re stuck, try THIS 👇🏻: 1️⃣ Don’t ask yourself: “Do I love it?” Instead ask: “Does this fit my life RIGHT NOW? “Would I buy this again today?” “Does this help with how I want my home to feel?” You can love an item, but also recognize you don’t need or use it. 2️⃣ Refine & keep the BEST: If you have multiples of an item, narrow it down. Instead of keeping 8 mugs, keep 3. Focus on 2 cardigans you always wear instead of 6. You’re not getting rid of everything, you’re refining what you own. 3️⃣ SPACE over STUFF: Look at the space you have and use that to help you decide! If you only have 2 drawers, you can only keep so many clothes. The focus changes from “this isn’t important” to “this is all the space I have” and takes the gilt away. 4️⃣ ONE BOX: When it comes to sentimental things, give yourself ONE box per child, memory, etc. Take photos 📸 of items you can’t keep and put them into a memory album. 5️⃣ CHOICE vs. GOODBYE: Instead of thinking what do I need to get rid of, you’re changing your thought process to “What am I choosing to allow into my space”. This helps your mind focus on giving you the control, rather than loss. 6️⃣ MAYBE Box: I’ve shared this one before. If letting go feels scary, give yourself a “MAYBE Box”. If you’re not sure about an item, put it into that box with a date on it. Store it away and if you don’t reach for the item in 6-12 months, you likely don’t need it. TIP: This works great in your closet with clothing! ✨✨If you want my FULL guide for Decluttering comment “GUIDE” on this post and I’ll send it your way! ✨ (must be following me or you won’t see it!) #declutter #declutteringtips #manageablehome
