Do it with someone else.
And then make sure you're in the right headspace because it is emotional work to declutter those items.
And so I feel like doing it after a long day of work or maybe if you've had just a more emotional day for whatever's going on in your life.
it might not be the time to do it.
I also like to tell people to keep a physical boundary of their sentimental items.
So let's say you have a bunch of cards from your spouse throughout your marriage and you want to keep them, but it's not the kind of thing you're going to hang up.
Then get a little box, a shoe box that has your sentimental items in there that you can go through and
And treasure them a couple times a year, maybe whenever you stumble upon it.
But that physical boundary is really going to help you so you're not keeping every single card or every single thing from your spouse.
Rather, paring it down so it has to fit in this box and you have to have a lid on it.
And I would say, too, a lot of what comes with sentimental items are items that are passed down from generations.
And I always like to encourage people, especially if the person who has passed down it down to you has passed away.
How do they want you to feel?
They would not want you to keep something out of guilt.
or like you should right so if you are holding on to grandma's china because you feel like you should and you have to i want you to think about would grandma want you to feel that way or does grandma want you to be free and have a life filled with the things that you love and the things you actually use so those are some really helpful mindset shifts when it comes to sentimental clutter
Yeah, that is such a big question.
And I...
There's definitely multiple ways to approach it, but I feel like you have to think about your why it goes back to your why, because people aren't decluttering just to declutter unless you're me and you do it for fun, right?
Like people aren't downsizing just to downsize.
There is something else that's motivating them.
