Letting go of physical items can be surprisingly difficult (maybe that's why I've been putting it off for so long). Today I decided to declutter my closet. I knew there were at least 3 pairs of shoes, several shirts and two pairs of pants that could easily go, so I set my intention, turned on some empowering music and opened the closet door. I began sorting through each item and began feeling emotions and memories bubble up.Every time I picked up one of the items I thought would be easy to donate I began thinking the following statements:"I might wear this again.""This reminds me of that time when..""What if I need this one day?""I don't want to spend money to replace this.""Will I regret letting this item go?"I was literally paralyzed with these thoughts. I began reminding myself that I rarely wore the items and that most of them either weren't my style anymore or they didn't fit properly. I was able to start a small pile of clothes I am willing to part with, but soon after the pile was created my emotions and fears of letting things go resurfaced. I was ancy and uncomfortable but added a couple more things to the pile.Hunger kicked in and I had to walk away from the clutter. I ate a filling meal, took a long hot chamomile and lavendar bath and read a travel magazine about eco-retreats and adventures. Until next time clutter.P.S. I have to give a huge shoutout to Enfleurage in NYC. Last weekend I attended a Natural Makeup workshop and picked up a fragrance free lotion, geranium essential oil and lavendar essential oil. Tonight I mixed a few drops of each into the lotion and used it for the first time. I'm in love. It is the best lotion I have ever used (and I've tried a variety because I have sensitive, acne-prone skin).
