Original Discovery
My biggest obstacle is always “what if I need it again”? After my divorce about 12 years ago, I had to sell our family home and move out. I didn’t have much time, and I was moving to a smaller place, so I had to get rid of a lot of stuff. That’s when I noticed that I had become a closet hoarder, why do I call it? A closet hoarder is because on the surface everything was pretty much clean, a few boxes and clutter here and there, but every closet was full of stuff. It took a giant moving truck to get rid of things that I didn’t think I would ever use again, and I got rid of them. I had a couple of great sewing machines and lots of fabric. I killed it in five years later when it settled from the divorce, and I was kind of back in my groove. I really missed having those craft items, and of course, it was tougher financially to purchase those things again, so now I’m kind of stuck with the clutter I have in the garage again, but I have such a tough time letting it go because what if I need it again. I’d love to hear what’s your obstacle and how you’ve dealt with it.
