Describe one positive change you have made in your life.
One of the most positive changes I’ve made in my life is getting rid of excess stuff.
I used to keep things just in case I might need them some day, which never happened, so stuff would just pile up in my small house. Suddenly, after my first daughter was born, I felt this urge to throw out, sell or donate everything I wasn’t actually using. I ended up tossing about 75% of my belongings. Do I miss any of those items? Absolutely not.
The list of things I got rid of includes:
– Occasion dresses I wasn’t planning on ever wearing again (outfits I had worn to weddings, for example)
– Shoes I had never even worn.
– Clothes that didn’t fit.
– Supposed sentimental items such as postcards and such.
– Old notes, books and materials from school and college.
– Books and materials I wasn’t using for work.
– Old electronics and appliances.
– Books I didn’t like or was never going to read again.
– Beauty items and unused cosmetics.
I’ll never be a minimalist but I have now gotten used to have less stuff around. I’m constantly purging and I have reached a point where I think twice about bringing something into my home. I still enjoy shopping but I no longer something just because it’s cute and cheap.
This change has honestly had an impact on my life, mental health and stress levels because I don’t do well in a cluttered environment. I still have a long way to go but I’m happy to have taken this step into simplifying my life.

I need to take a page out of your book and start to declutter my space, I’m getting sick of things! Bravo for doing that

There are definitely things I wish I kept such as baby items (sadly my ex didn’t). They are my only regrets. However, I now keep less and it is empowering. I am sure I could declutter more. great post
