"Going through and getting rid of your belongings is no easy feat - especially when those possessions were once loved, received as a gift, or hold dear memories. However, once something has fulfilled its purpose and no longer serves you or brings up only the bad memories - that's when it's time to consider letting it go. Here's how you'll thoughtfully declutter sentimental items from your home."
"It's important to acknowledge that this is a tough assignment - so as you go through it, make sure to do only what you can, take breaks when needed, and phone a friend or family member for support. You'll be sorting through some (or all) of your "sentimental cutter" and deciding what should stay or go. Dedicate this time to one part of your home that houses lots of these items, or all the sentimental things we've been gathering these last few decluttering sessions"
A free two-week decluttering program offers 14 assignments delivered by email to help create a tidier home. Sorting and discarding sentimental items can be emotionally difficult, especially when items were once loved, gifted, or tied to memories. Only tackle what feels manageable, take breaks as needed, and enlist a friend or family member for support. Focus on one area filled with sentimental items or gather all saved sentimental things to reassess at once. If a decision feels uncertain, place the item in a ‘maybe’ box or schedule a reassessment date.
