Somehow during fall and winter, you collected a few more items than you needed. Maybe it’s a primordial urge to hibernate and bring things in for comfort (can that really be necessary in Southern California?), or maybe we spend more time at home during the winter months so more things accumulate. But chances are, whatever you collected, you have things that you could let go of. It’s time for a good spring cleaning, and a good place to start is your closet.
Maybe you have winter clothes that you didn’t get around to wearing this winter. Let them go. Bring out your spring and summer clothes and decorations. Let go of anything that looks tired or you know you won’t use this year. Let spring time be that time for renewal. Allow those things that you won’t use to be returned to the general flow of things in the world. You do not need to be their keeper. Let someone else use them. Donate to a thrift store or a homeless shelter.
Give yourself more space to move, breathe and enjoy life.
I recently went through the sweaters in my drawer. Since I live in Los Angeles, I really don’t need them all that much, but I hadn’t cleared them out in a few years and since I’d been given some as gifts recently, the drawer was getting decidedly difficult to both put the sweaters away and close easily. Time to reduce the frustration and decide which sweaters to let go of. Now it’s easy to put my sweaters away and close the drawer.
Where do you get frustrated by small things? What could you do to change that small frustration?
