Take a look at your “Things” and what makes you hang onto them.
Our Attachment to “Things”
Many of our things help give us a sense of our own identity. For
instance, we may have lots of books that we intend to read. But now with Kindle
etc they are just gathering dust. Closets full of clothes that we will never
wear, why not send them to one of the Calgary Goodwill centers. Our old furniture that we hang onto, now
looks out of place with our new minimal “Look”.
Remember the furniture pieces you got from your grandmother? We
also might inherent stuff from other family and friends and these “things” can
have a powerful hold on us. Many times we can’t let go of them because they’re
a link to a person we love. “Things” from our past can take on their own life!.
Sometimes we buy things to make ourselves feel better after maybe
a bad week, or we buy because we are bored.
This is the recipe for a packed home that requires a big
investment to keep up. From a cleaning perspective, we go around it all! How
many people do you know who have 3 car garage in Calgary, but only use 2
garages and fill the other with” Things”.
So make the big push, you just might find you’re happier, have
more time, and definitely have more space and more money in your pocket. Giving
“things” to Calgary Goodwill also helps someone who needs it more than you, you don’t
always have to sell it on Kijiji. Its Karma, what you send out will always
return.
