don’t let your stuff own you Hellen Buttigieg The closets are full. Do you really need to create more storage space or do you need to pare down your stuff? Top ExcusEs for holding on To cloThing you don’T wEar 1 It will come back in style. Yes, it
will, but the fabric and cut will be slightly different and everyone will be able to tell you have been holding on to it since 1978! 2 It will fit once I lose weight. You may lose weight in different places and it may still not fit. Reward
yourself by buying new clothes instead of wearing your old things. 3 I paid a lot of money for it. And it makes you feel guilty every time you look into your closet and see it hanging there. Let go of the reminder, and the shame. 4 I wore it on my first date, the day I got promoted, etc. Don’t let sentimental items take up valuable space in your closet. Take a picture and let it go. 5 Someone bought it for me. They’ll never know, and even if they find out, they’ll understand. 6 It needs repairs. Put a deadline on it and let it go if you miss it. 7 I need it just in case. This is probably the top excuse I hear. Unless there is a specific reason to hold on to something, let it go.
