@Ros Very good comment! Having been recently widowed, I am trying to walk a fine line between beginning to move on, and not making hasty decisions. In the end, though, as I realised when Mum died, the object is not actually the person, and giving something away is not being disrespectful or uncaring. It's allowing someone else to use it.

@Ros that was a great quote. My mom hoards a lot of family mementos. I am in the sandwich generation and i reminded her that i will only keep pics and some small items. Everything else will be thrown out because I have severe anxiety and stuff paralyses me. My son is 3 and when I am gone i don't want clutter for him.

You’re absolutely right, @Amy Johnson!! I’m in the process of “curating” the possessions of almost 20 years of married life, after losing my husband the day after Xmas 2022 & I keep having to remind myself that I’ll still always remember him, even if I get rid of his clothes, books, hobby stuff, etc. It’s still hard, but I can do it; especially when I know that someone in need will benefit.

For me, when I do a declutter, I always take my clothes to a place called the Hope Mission. I know that my clothes, and a few things for the kitchen, will go to people who really, really, really need it. I find that this makes decluttering so much easier because I really want to help. That doesn’t mean that I don’t have a hard time parting with some stuff, but in the past while, I’ve been able to declutter even more thanks to this focus on mission.

Consider Goodwill for fabric items that are out-of-fashion, torn, stained, worn-out, or any other way unusable or unsellable; this includes bath & bed linens, curtains, etc. Goodwill will consolidate anything imperfect for resale and sell it by the pound to textile recyclers, which keeps it out of landfills.

I lost close to 50 lbs 5 years ago and found myself holding on to my old clothes, in sadness that if I let the old clothes go, I was letting the old me go. I held on to clothes that didn’t fit for FIVE years!!! I finally got rid of it (all but one item) and my life has changed dramatically. I’m not wearing yogas and thermals everyday anymore. I’m wearing my Levi’s and agoldes, and blouses and blazers again. I can see everything! If having nothing to wear and feeling stressed out is the only way to hold on to the old me, then I’m not holding on anymore. Old me was great, but new me is even better. Love this video, Christina. Great work.

Agree with others that these are great tips! My favorite is #7. So many bloggers and YTers focus on getting rid of things and downsizing, and I don't see as many addressing the "why" of how so many unneeded things end up coming home with us in the first place. That's really where the issue starts, so thanks for mentioning it. Keep up the great work!

Love the curation idea and the gratitude perspective. Does anyone have a hard time letting go of certain fabrics? if a top is made of silk or pants are linen even though i may not wear them as often as I did, I don’t want to let them go. There seems to be so much polyester now that I’m afraid I’ll never again find such fine materials! Or they will be too expensive for my budget! Maybe as a part of my curation I can have a museum collection😊

One mindset that is not helpful is the one I was raised with. "It is better to have it and not need it then to need it and not have it." This fostered having the second best, third best, and so on. My new mindset is "It is better to release it to bless someone else who needs it today, then to keep it and not need it." And "Let the thrift store be my extended closet. If I need something, I can maybe find it there....not in my extra storage bins!"

13 minutes well worth this viewer's time! Listed below: 1. Focus on what stays, and not want you should get rid of Self Talk out loud! What you REALLY want to keep. Value, function. 2. Think of de cluttering as creating space for what you really care about, want to keep, use and will miss if gone. 3. Remind yourself that clutter really makes life more difficult. Shifts focus from productive use of time, can't focus, harder to decide, clean and tidy. Make life easier by letting go. 4. Think of decluttering as Curating. Looks calm, intentional, Curating. 5. Set systems, habits, routines, that you can implement on a daily basis. Helpful habits to make life easy to achieve new baseline. orderly. Place for everything. Consistent;. Back in place. Make sure, ex. dishwasher's is working while you are sleeping. 6. The $$$ is long gone... remind yourself, you will not get money back if it sits in your closet. Sell, donate, lesson learned. 7. Managing the inflow is more imp. than managing outflow!.. Only buy what is a necessary purchase. 8. Decluttering .. faced w/ mistakes. lesson learned,. ( Keep a To Be Determined and Memory Box) I learned that from the Minimal Mom. fell proud and accomplished when done or therapy to work on inner fears. 9. Our stuff is NOT me. ex. personal style and house, expresses who you are as a person without expressing anything! Self worth, value is you not your clothes! 10. Attitude of Gratitude for all the blessings that you have.

I'm not emotionally attached to my stuff, but it's still quite overwhelming when I look at all the stuff and declutter for the first time. It's embarrassing when I realize how much money I wasted and how much waste I created. It's takes time and practice to change the mindset. But it's worth it. I'm started to be mindful with my purchase and check my inventory regularly.

I like the idea of thinking about what you are going to keep first. There are some pieces that I got rid of when I moved that I wish back. They were too small for me at the time and now I lost weight, I could wear them. But getting rid of them helped me make space for what I had room to move. I still have a lot of things I didn't get rid of. But they are still in the boxes I haven't unpacked from fie years ago. I merged my house with my parents house that I grew up in. Grief and loss of those parents has had me stuck for a long time. The essence of my mom is my mom's house.

I have always struggled with shopping too much, buying things I don't need, and then feeling incredibly guilty - a big part of it comes from body image issues and not getting rid of things that I wish would fit. When decluttering, I try very hard to go in thinking "if this doesn't fit, it doesn't fit and that is not a bad thing" or something like that and it has helped a lot.

This most recent video, for me, is as wonderful as the one about the toxic aspects of minimalism. I'm currently on the journey of wanting less and decluttering. I'm doing it slowly, at my own pace, and from a place of self-love. I still feel sad, every time I think about parting myself from something. Therapy is the major help I count on for a few years, but this theme of hoarding and wanting a lot is (kind of) new for me. I try to say goodbye, only when I feel I've worn the piece as much as I wanted so it has filled its purpose. Then, I go to another one, and so on. I make lists of the items I'm planning on letting go. Every month I add items to the list, that I try and use to see how I feel about them. Some are really worn and have done a lot for me, so, it's time for them to go. When I find something not worn before, I take profit from that, trying to insert it into my "new" wardrobe. If I bought it's because I loved it, and thought of a way to include it in my outfits. I just need to remind myself of that. So, I found this could be a way of making my brain believe I had something new to enjoy, not buying anything new. The key to this is NOT BUYING. Not adding items to an already long list. I've been enjoying the process, which began about two months ago because I feel I'm kind of playing a game. The joyful side of life is something I'm not willing to let, although the mind set behind these decisions is ultimately very different from before. This is my way, but I admire yours a lot.

I now use the word "curating" when I "declutter". After regretting decluttering and getting rid of a lot of my stuff, I now keep (store) a big box of the items that are not part of my curated wardrobe/home. Knowing that if I decide that parting from a particular item was a mistake I can get it back gives me peace of mind and really help with my curating process.

Great collection of the most important mindsets when decluttering or rethinking your intentions and priorities. Your videos are always so helpful and aesthetically pleasing (the best combination haha). Especially the therapy tip - or at least focussing in on your intentions and reassessing your state of mind - I find incredibly underrated. When ThE pLaGuE hit, I (and a lot of people on the internet) felt the urge to declutter EVERYTHING. What I didn't realise was that I did it because I was sad and depressed and pretty much nothing felt good for a long time. Accomplishing a declutter and ridding myself of overwhelming stuff was one of the stupidly few nice feelings. Now, I'm in a much improved mindset and even get joy again from new (intentionally acquired) things. Again, I feel like it's a general trend influenced by the state of the world (collective trauma, anyone?) as much as the state of our minds. So for me, the most important question during decluttering is the why. 🧠💕

The root of issue is buying. If you have next to nothing, you never have to declutter. Those who rely on buying new things to keep them happy, they will never achieve happiness. This is commonly known as hedonic adaptation. Many people waste their time by constantly buying new clothes to try to impress others. What they don't realize is that no one cares. Instead, people should focus their energy on how to improve their minds, such as learning which will bring fulfillment and deeper meaning into life.

I'm a low key person with a full house. I used to have way more than I do now. The "just in case" issue was just the worst. I was a military kudos who always had linens and drapes and shelving that might fit in a future home (moving was a real event every 2-3 yrs.) We never threw out items which didn't "fit" we stored them. As I accumulated electronics, I carried this forward similar to my grandmother's button jar. My therapist asked me to name one kind of cord i had.. One was replacement/old cords for monitors and hard drives. I had about 20. Theoretically, I only needed two. (One for each) it took a week to take the rest of them to Goodwill, but when they'd sorted and wrapped them all...they didn't last long. Made me feel better about it. And I had cords for which I couldn't remember the original use. I think there's are good reasons for "just in case" storage. It's about thinking through the "just in case" and if the possible scenarios are actually worth planning for. After I was no longer moving every 3 yrs, for example, it was nice to have only drapes for my current home.

Very astute content! I have a friend who is buried even deeper in stuff than I am. Want to help, but the mindset is perhaps the biggest obstacle.

As an annex to number 6 - The money is long gone! --- I also think of the space the item takes up, and the cumulative cost of renting that space just to hang on to an item I don't really want/need. , the time and energy maintaining it (even if it's just dusting it!). Makes it even easier to get rid of it!

I appreciated you saying u had to do alot of work with relation to yourself and your stuff. That resonates, ty! One thing I personally like to think about when letting go of things is: if I donate this now, it might one day become someone else's new found treasure.

New subscriber - your video came up on my feed as my husband and I have been on the minimalist journey for the past two years, and I really loved it when you said “Attitude with Gratitude”! I will be practicing that more since we get lost in the chaos of life sometimes and get so wrapped up in what was instead of what is. So thanks for that reminder and the 10 pieces of advice!

Lol, sometimes the universe has a way of decluttering for us. one thing I find hard to declutter are my books. i put several boxes of books in the basement as I was thinking about giving them away and the basement flooded and the books all got water damage. i should have just donated them! 😂

I recently saw a top I donated to goodwill out on the floor. It was such a weird experience! My first thought was "do I buy I back now?" haha! but I both grateful and nostalgic it was a shirt from my gram that I didn't like and never wore. but it was also expensive
