47 | Conquer Your Clutter Part 1: The Emotional Trap
Is your home cluttered with objects that tug at your heartstrings, making it impossible to let go? Today's podcast will guide you through the emotional battlefield of decluttering, offering new perspectives on the guilt, nostalgia, and sentimentality that often anchor us to our belongings. We'll navigate these feelings by providing reflective questions that can help you assess your attachment to items and uncover the freedom that comes with releasing those that no longer serve a purpose in your life.
Throughout this episode, I share my personal insights into the complexities of decluttering, and with each question I pose, I invite you to reflect on your own attachments. Discover how to cherish and release your possessions, making room for what really matters to you.
Fellow professional organizer, Kate Bosch, wrote a great blog post about these "Sticking Points" or "Traps" that keep us from letting go of the clutter in our lives. Please check her out here:
