This is such good advice, but I feel like I’d need months of therapy to fully implement it. 😂 It’s so hard not to be sentimental, and I feel like moving abroad really ratchets up the feelings of nostalgia and loss.
I’ve lived in a small Amsterdam apartment for the past nine years, and what I have gotten better about is not collecting so much stuff in the first place. Every time before I buy something now, I ask myself where I’m going to put it, and it definitely helps me make better choices.
Asking yourself where you’re going to put something new or questioning if you even need it before buying it is a fantastic way to proceed!! Or the one in—one out method.
And I’m super pro therapy!! It’s helped me so much 🥰
Do I have five hundred books? 😶
Hahahaha, I relate! I gave away 22 legal sized boxes!
