We all have a tendency to put items on display depicting where we have been, who we are, and what we have collected. But, sometimes our walls, shelves, and counters quickly become our own personal museums. The more we have, the easier it is to create the feeling of being confined, let alone increasing the time it takes to clean the places where we put them. Don’t get me wrong, it’s okay to have things on display – until they become overwhelming clutter.
My advice is to reduce and refresh by simply limiting the number of items you have on display. This doesn’t mean you have to get rid of anything, unless you want to, it just means that storing some things away for a while until you are ready to make a change. Take some time to choose certain things that show off one trip or one special occasion and put the rest stored for displaying several months down the road. When the holidays hit, decorate with discretion. Think about temporarily storing non-seasonal items until after the decorations are put away.
Think about refreshing your living spaces instead of creating memorials to all of your achievements. Our lives are full and we want to be reminded of all we have been through, just keep things to a minimum and relive them one moment at a time.
Live clutter free.
It’s as simple as that!
