Because. Really. And
![](https://www.theartofdecluttering.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/New-Ep-3.png)
When you’re decluttering and you come across something you decide to keep… sometimes it can be hard to know if you’re keeping it because you do use, love or need it… or if you’re working hard to convince yourself on a reason to keep it.
Try answering this out loud to yourself, “I’m keeping this Because…” Answering yourself out loud can help you articulate something that maybe is otherwise a vibe/ feeling or fear.
Next answer this question, “Really?” Out loud, be honest, is your answer true? Are you being honest with yourself?
And finally answer the question, “And… what would happen if you didn’t have it?”
The aim of these questions isn’t to convince you to declutter everything, but rather to help you investigate why you’re keeping things and the simple act of saying things out loud to yourself may surprise you with it’s effectiveness.
I invite you to come and join my Free Wardrobe Challenge, declutter and organise your wardrobe over 5 days with video coaching. Did I mention it’s FREE?
