Declutter your home and let go!
Yard sale any one? I’d be lying if I said I haven’t accumulated things over the years. Random decor, clothes in my closet that I never wore, some of my kids clothes that they’ve also out grew, and even toys! So I figured it was time to go through my whole house and start the process. And what perfect time when you’re going through a divorce?!
So while my now ex-husband was deployed I started going through each room in the house and going through my things. I started making piles of clothes that either didn’t fit me anymore or that I haven’t worn in the last year. And let me tell you, that was a long process BUT after I saw how much I had that I was holding on to and ready to let go it just gave me such a peaceful feeling. I knew I was making the right decision.
So I continued that process with each room and eventually moved all my piles to the garage. Until I had a big enough pile to be able to have a yard sale with my friend. We bought signs and posted the yard sale in our local Facebook group which helped get us a lot of traction!
The day of the yard sale we set up and we’re out by 9am. And people slowly kept coming and the yard sale was a success! We made some pretty good deals and meet out goal which was to sell as many things as possible!
At the end of the day I went home with a couple of things, mostly clothes that I plan on donating to our Airman’s Attic on base. I felt like I could breathe once I was home! Seeing my home and it not feeling cluttered with old memories and just things that no longer had a place in my new/now life just made me feel so at peace. So what things are you holding on to?
