I was watching a Japanese minimalist Sibu (also spelled Shibu) and he encourages analyzing why the items we are decluttering did not work out - wrong color, wrong size, wrong shape, wrong material, etc. He also encourages to focus totally on what you absolutely want to keep. For me, every new acquisition is an experiment, no matter how much time and thought and research I have put into it (and sometimes it is just the wrong time in my life for a particular item - I just bought wonderful Indian spices and have realized that I have other urgent projects that preclude learning new recipes. But they are sealed so I am hoping they will keep for a few months).

I actually do declutter when I'm inspired and I'm a good mood. I just sit on the floor when I'm sad and overwhelmed.

I just declutter 3 bags of clothes and shoes, I donated them to a Women’s Victim Shelter in my state. Felt very therapeutic knowing that I am helping support a great cause to women getting back on their feet. Living lighter is great! 💛

Thank you for addressing the inflow vs. just the outflow! So often, we're urged to focus on getting rid of things as a means of feeling better, while if we thought instead of controlling what comes into our closet. More intentionality there means we won't have to declutter as often! Great video. :)

I’m in a big decluttering at the moment since I am moving this year I want to the least amount of things to move ( also because like you I may have a smaller space😅 than I have today ) . One of my tip is one question « will I buy it today if lost or broken? » I think it really shows if we want to keep it or not.

At the beginning of each season, I evaluate the things I haven’t worn in the season that’s ending. I get rid of the clothes that I didn’t wear and the items I only wore once! And I think about the reasons why I didn’t wear them to help with future purchases. This helps me a lot!

Yes!!!! I want to declutter when I feel out of control, but I don't think I ever regretted anything I got rid of.

I like your point about limiting backstock. Over time, a lot of toiletries will degrade as the preservatives and other ingredients break down, potentially causing eye/skin infections and/or irritation.

Feels sooo good to have a fresh start in spring 🌹🌼🌷 Loved the laundry strip intro!!! 😂

Love the idea of decluttering as maintenance. Decision fatigue is real, and the easiest way to minimize it is by making small decluttering choices regularly instead of letting stuff build up and then dealing with it in one go

[flohough]

100% agree with you on the wishlist thing. I can't tell you how many times I've put things in my Amazon wishlist only to go in and delete them later. Another tip for cleaning out clothing if you feel overwhelmed--tell yourself to get rid of one item per week. And if you buy anything, a 1 item comes in, 1 item goes out rule. I'm currently doing this and it is working well, I'm being more critical about some of the clothing I have. I live in an area where we have 4 definitive seasons too so I know I'm donating clothing within the appropriate season.

love the way you've styled your hair & blazer in this!

[rosyapplekitchen]

I have decided to only keep three outfits head to toe for leaving the house in. Saves so much time and I know I will look my best in all of them. Love these decluttering vids.

[sarahraymer]

The hair looks so sleek and cool today 🫶

You give great advice! I have been working on decluttering all areas of my home and it's such a process. I love the change of mindset from negative to positive! I'm also working to stop the "inflow" and use what I have! You're an inspiration ❤!

[CheekyMonkey]

Thank you so much for all your videos, Christina!!! I find them all truly helpful...I have been more mindful about my personal style (recently retired so it has become ALL athleisure wear, LOL), and about working towards a more minimalist lifestyle. You are so down-to-earth and practical in your advice. Fantastic!!!! Keep up the great work!
