Thank you for sharing this. I personally hate clutter because it stresses me out but yet I still allow it to exist in my life. I don’t have a garage or basement full of unused forgotten items but I have drawers and boxes and closests full of I and it seems to keep growing little by little. I like that you mentioned having to change our mindset before you can find true success with decluttering. I totally agree! I believe any lifestyle change we try to implement must start with a perspective and mindset change. I also like that you had set specific rules for yourself to follow before making any new purchases. When we have a set of guidelines to consider before making certain decisions it forces us to take a step back and make sure we are making a wise choice. Keep up the good work! You’ve inspired me to start my own journey towards declusttering my life and mind.
