People change. As we grow older our lives change. Our families change. Our likes and dislikes change. Our hobbies change. So, the question is “are you living the life of today?”. Does your home reflect that life?
If your kids are grown and out of the house – do you really
need a big house with four bedrooms? Do you really want to maintain that house.
Or do you want the freedom to do something else? Maybe it is time to think
about downsizing so that your time is freed up to do other things.
If you no longer have the time or desire to knit, crochet,
quilt, paint or any other hobby – maybe it’s time to give away all of your yarn
or fabric or paint. There are probably a lot of people that would really
appreciate all of those things.
Just because you had a hobby once doesn’t mean that you have
to continue it forever. Your tastes change. Your availability to do these
things might change. Maybe you are not physically capable of doing these activities
anymore.
If you do not ski anymore or roller skate or ride your bike –
pass the equipment onto someone that will enjoy it.
Let it go. Without guilt. Clear the stuff out of your home.
Make room for new hobbies. You do not have to hang onto things just because you were once interested in them.
Enjoy the life that you are living now.
But remember that you collected all of these things over time,
and it will take some time to go through it all and declutter your home. Plan
short decluttering sessions interspersed with a fun or relaxing activity. By
doing this you will not wear yourself out and you will be more likely to
continue the decluttering process.
Once an area is cleared of clutter – then you can start the
organizing process. But’s that's another article!
