How to let go of your stuff, especially sentimental items that we have an emotional attachment to is difficult. As a minimalist for over 15 years and then becoming an extreme minimalist, getting rid of everything I own was a journey. I’ll share my decluttering minimalist tips, of ways I decided what things to get of and what to keep. Owning less, decluttering, and minimalism look different for each of us. Maybe you are downsizing or just want a clutter-free home, I hope these minimalist ideas help you simplify your life and let go of things.

    Yes. The possessions I own represent what has come before, what defines me and my happiness. I have reduced and continue to do so seasonally but when I look around and smile, it's because my "things" made me smile and reminisce. Losing a husband... I've lost enough

    I love your videos and consider myself a minimalist but I need a home with a few things that bring me joy. Both ways of living are fine. ❤
  • Beautiful video ❤ Letting go of sentimental items can be so difficult ❤
  • Thank you Connie for this video 🙏 I have certain personal items from when I was married to the love of my life. There are many I no longer have. There are a few that the thought of letting them go actually gets my heart pounding and I feel like I can't breathe. Talk about attachment and not letting go. By letting these personal things go, the reality of us no longer being together is even.....more official, if that makes sense. I know after a short time I will feel fine; however it's the initial action that scares me. Fear. Sadness. When I hold these things in my hands, I cry. I do not feel joy. When I feel ready, I go on a splurge and purge things. I am hoping I will feel the same way with these items. I am still tethered to a relationship that has not existed for 15 months. 😢 Time to wake up Roberta 🙏

    I love your life philosophy and your new life in Costa Rica. At the moment I’m stuck in a life that’s giving many challenges, just surviving and not truly living! Your videos give me hope. I do appreciate the good things in my life now and I hope that I’ll have time left for some more adventures as well. ❤️

    It's hard to rid some of my sentimental things. I need intervention haha. Love your videos.
  • @kittykittoon
    The digital record is a great idea. I think I hold onto some things especially is because they belonged to loved ones I lost too soon.
  • @Kate42

    I think the key take away here for me is the willingness to let go of emotional attachment to things. There are some things that I choose to keep a memory alive, such as some of my photos or special gifts. We are human just doing life at our own pace.
