How To Go About Decluttering Your Life

in #lifestyle6 years ago

Yesterday, I wrote a post that had to do with decluttering our lives and why it is important that we constantly check ourselves and get rid of those little stuffs that tend to hold us back, you can check it out here.

Here is a list you can use as a guide to help clear up your mind and put your life back in order:

1. Reevaluate Friendships and Relationships

I believe the best way to start is by reevaluating the kind of friends we keep, and well, getting rid of some of them. That might seem cruel at first, but the sad truth is that not everyone is meant to stay in our lives for too long. Toxic people are bound to drain your mental and emotional energy. When all a friendship or a relationship is doing is putting you down, then its time to declutter.

Be around people that bring you joy and also contribute to your growth (and which you are able to add value to as well). Decluttering doesn't mean you harbour hateful feelings towards them, you just reduce the amount of time you spend with these people and maybe with time you can have enough strength to move away. Friends do have an influence on us, we should keep does with the right kind of spirit around us.

2. Check The Feelings You Have Inside

Keeping hurtful feelings inside can be really toxic, keeping it inside is actually harder than letting it go. These kinds of feelings taints our view of life, hold us back and blur our judgments. We might have been badly hurt by people, but we don't need to hold on to those pains which might lead to us hating them. Process those feelings, and let them out, they are not worth keeping!

3. Prioritize

Don't go with almost anything that comes your way, or else you might end up being a mess. We can't do everything that we want to and attempting to do all will only end up putting you in a fix. When you are able to prioritize, you will be able to channel your strength into whats really important, commit to things that really need your attention and thereby making you more focused and clearheaded.

4, Declutter Your Physical Environment

Our environment is part of lives as well and they most times contribute to how our mind works. A cluttered environment automatically means a cluttered life, don't let that be you. I feel that as we constantly declutter the space around us, we will inspire ourselves to declutter our lives as well.

Decluttering isn't a once in a lifetime kind of thing, it has to be followed up constantly because, with time, we gather up friends, things, feelings etc. that we don't even need,

When you are able to get rid of that toxic friend, you will be able to open up for a better one which will help you grow. When you are able to let go of those hurtful feelings, you will be able to love better, understand people better and build healthy relationships. Decluttering will only help you get better!
