Decluttering Inspiration

Decluttering is tough work, so this post is dedicated to inspiring action!One of the blogs I follow consistently (for the past 2 years) is Leo Babauta's Zen Habits. If I feel stressed this blog is where I go to breathe. He has done so many amazing things in his life - quit smoking, became a runner, wrote a novel, paid off all his debt and so much more. I love that his sites are mnmlist and so easy to read. I recently stumbled on a quote from him on a decluttering website.

“There is an empty room, and you. And you are enough. You are all that’s needed in this room, you fill it with your light and the miracle of your being, and you now realize: the things you used to express yourself, those were just a crutch. You need none of it. You are enough.” – Leo Babauta

This reminds me that it is unnecessary for me to worry about what physical objects I have in my life. They do not define me. I am my own person and I am enough and so are you!I also found Project 333 today! This project asks you to live with only 33 articles of clothing/jewelry (not including clothes you sleep in or go to the gym in) for 3 months. At the end of the 3 months you swap out your articles for 33 other items. A story from a woman who recently completed this project for the first time indicated she feels much lighter and getting ready for her day is much easier with fewer choices.Tomorrow is a big day folks - declutter mania + picking 33 personal items for the next 3 months!
