Don't be the Grinch Who Stole All of Your Own Money this Christmas! 😏⁠ ⁠ It's so easy to get caught up in consumer side of the holidays... feeling like you NEED to get a few more things for stocking stuffers. Or thinking your Christmas decor will not be complete if you don't buy that beautiful gilded reindeer for your coffee table (that you just realized existed 5 minutes ago as you walked through Hobby Lobby). Or convincing yourself that your child will never forgive you if they don't wake up on Christmas morning to "that thing" they claim will make their life complete sitting under the Christmas tree. ⁠ ⁠ It's hard to stifle these thoughts, desires and anxieties so we often just give in. Unfortunately, stealing from yourself for these moments of relief doesn’t feel great later on either. ⁠ ⁠ Mounting debt.⁠ More clutter.⁠ Buyer's remorse.⁠ Disappointment.⁠ ⁠ So see if you can sit with the anxiety of NOT buying that thing and walking away. See if you can practice thinking "I have enough" rather than frantically adding things to your cart. ⁠ ⁠ You're going to be uncomfortable either way... but when you're working on NOT buying all.the.things. guess what? Your credit card bill in January will be much smaller and your home will be les cluttered. ⁠ #declutter #livesimply #organization #minimalist #minimalism #minimalistlifestyle #minimaliststyle #lessismore #wannabeminimalist #cleartheclutterandbreathe #thedeclutteredlife⁣ #livewithless #getorganized #decluttermylife #declutteryourlife #decluttering #clutterfree #tidying #tidyingup #homefree #declutteryourhome #decluttered #declutteringmylife #declutteringtips #cleartheclutter ⁠

The number one question I get asked is "HOW DO I GET MY SPOUSE ON BOARD WITH DECLUTTERING?"⁠ ⁠ And I always give the same answer... you can't. ⁠ ⁠ This guy right here has dubbed himself a "minimalist hoarder." I've told him that's not a thing but he insists it is. He says it means that he is super intentional and thoughtful about purchases (and rarely buys things) but when he does buy something he is under the assumption that we will have that item until we die. 😂⁠ ⁠ He is also a collector at heart and has 1000s of baseball cards and sports memorabilia items. He is a list maker and paper stacker. He is sentimental.⁠ ⁠ So you can imagine what transpired when I was wanting to get rid of over 50% of our possessions. 😬⁠ ⁠ But I explained my overwhelm with our home's current state. I described my vision for our home with open space, finding anything in 5 minutes or less and more time to focus on our family rather than working around, cleaning and maintaining our useless junk. ⁠ ⁠ I began working on my own areas first (my closet, etc) and as I did so he began to catch the vision. He could see how much easier my life was with less. He started trusting me and that I wasn't going to get rid of anything we TRULY NEEDED. ⁠ ⁠ He still has his massive collections and he does what he wants with his areas of the house (i.e. his home office) but he LOVES what has happened in the rest of our home and is 100% supportive of my efforts. ⁠ I wanted to have less stuff so I could focus on what really matters to me. My relationship with my husband is #1 so I'm not going to let stuff (or my desire to have a lack of stuff) derail that. Focus on your own stuff first. Explain your vision but let your spouse be themselves and love them for it. This is where the magic happens. #declutter #livesimply #organization #minimalist #minimalism #minimalistlifestyle #minimaliststyle #lessismore #wannabeminimalist #cleartheclutterandbreathe #thedeclutteredlife⁣ #livewithless #getorganized #decluttermylife #declutteryourlife #decluttering #clutterfree #tidying #tidyingup #homefree #declutteryourhome #decluttered #declutteringmylife #declutteringtips #cleartheclutter ⁠ ⁠ ⁠

This applies to stuff, yes. But also schedules, commitments and to-do lists. ⁠ ⁠ Everyone has a different threshold for what they will tolerate. Some like having a lot of stuff on their countertops while others cannot tolerate even a houseplant.⁠ ⁠ Some feel productive and happy if every minute of their day is filled with activities, appointments, tasks and socializing while others need 3 days of alone/down time to recover from one lunch with friends (or one Thanksgiving dinner with extended family 😜). ⁠ ⁠ The point here is that we all have our limits and we all have our preferences. ⁠ ⁠ But if it feels like too much, it's too much.⁠ ⁠ If your days are filled to the brim but you don't feel productive and energized by it and instead feel burdened, resentful and obligated then it might be time to make some changes.⁠ ⁠ If your home is stuffed to the gills with useless and unnecessary things and you are in a constant state of overwhelm by it, you are completely capable of deciding enough is enough. ⁠ ⁠ Because this is also true... if it feels like perfection, it's perfect. But you must create that for yourself intentionally.⁠ ⁠ #declutter #livesimply #organization #minimalist #minimalism #minimalistlifestyle #minimaliststyle #lessismore #wannabeminimalist #cleartheclutterandbreathe #thedeclutteredlife⁣ #livewithless #getorganized #decluttermylife #declutteryourlife #decluttering #clutterfree #tidying #tidyingup #homefree #declutteryourhome #decluttered #declutteringmylife #declutteringtips #cleartheclutter

Why?⁠ ⁠ Because they aren't seeing what they lack... they see everything they already have.⁠ ⁠ True happiness.⁠ ⁠ Beautiful artwork from @whittonandwhite⁠ ⁠ Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
