why does saying goodbye to stuff feel so good?

Organizing actually has a lot of emotion attached to it. The process sometimes takes you on a feelings journey!

But one organizing feeling is so good I love when clients get to experience it.

I have often told clients, when they are first starting, the feeling that I can only describe as metaphorical weight loss when you declutter and discard items that you no longer need.

Until you go through it, you can’t describe the feeling that you get when you take power back from the stuff that is hanging over you. It’s so freeing to say goodbye (with gratitude) to items you no longer need.

This article from Apartment Therapy is a great (quick!) read on the FEELINGS around saying goodbye to things we no longer need!
