With the 25th being my next donation pick up day, it's go time! This past weekend I worked at the decluttering station in my garage and packed up four boxes of stuff. I also took pictures of items I will attempt to sell on my neighborhood facebook group. Like I said, no obligation or urgency here, whatever sells, does, and whatever doesn't will be donated or posted for free.
Although I've been feeling really good about my progress, sometimes this mean voice pops up and makes me feel like all my efforts are just weak sauce, and nowhere near enough.
When this happens, I need to remember that this is where mindfulness can work its magic. I mean, it's not really magic, but more about being truthful, acknowledging. And I have to acknowledge that I have come a long way. That is a fact, mean voice or no.
So, it's time to take a deep breath, and deal with the stuff (and the emotions that accompany it) moment by moment. Because that's the only place where progress is made.
Have you encountered a negative voice/attitude in your decluttering journey? How did you respond going forward?
