“To truly cherish the things that are important to you, you must first discard those that have outlived their purpose.” – Marie Kondo
Let’s be honest, getting rid of old things can be difficult, especially for us sentimental folk!
We can keep accumulating things that have value, sentimental or otherwise, for only a period. And when it is time to move on, we simply forget about them.
It is not that hard to fall into this trap! Just think of the fantastic holiday that you had 5 years ago. Are you still cherishing the souvenirs you bought at the market in Paris, London or Rome? Or rather, they serve as dust collectors on the mantel or the bookshelf?
It is important to realize that sometimes these old things weigh you down, get in the way, and no longer have any value in your life.
In many cases, the simple act of decluttering does the job and transfers our space to its former glory. Once that is done, the fun of replacing the old items with new ones from the current trip can begin. Or, you can have a stroll in your favourite store, hunting for gems that are more in tune with the existing decor trend.
