Changes in circumstance can often result in the need to de-clutter. Big life changes such as losing a loved one, moving house, ending a relationship, starting a family, even starting a new job, can all precipitate the need for a major clear out of clutter. Possessions that we have accumulated during certain periods of our life can often lose their importance when our life changes. Frequently when we are trying to move in a new direction we are being pulled backwards by all our belongings and clutter from earlier phases of our life. We want a fresh start without all the old stuff. How often have you heard people say they just want to get rid of everything and start again? Sometimes we hold on to items that belonged to someone who is no longer in our lives. This might be through divorce, separation or death and getting rid of these things can be a slow and difficult process. However, de-cluttering marks not only an end but also a new beginning and can be a wonderfully healing and cathartic process. 
Sometimes people are hesitant to get rid of things, for fear that they will regret it at a later date, but this rarely happens. The freedom and space that de-cluttering will bring to your life is worth far more than the items you get rid of. |
