Declutter your life!

As some of you may know: I'm a hippie at heart. And I've been unhappy with the directions some parts of my life have taken while also been offered some amazing opportunities I really want to have the strength to take. I've been thinking and pondering a lot and got inspired by this blog and the following picture:



And I have come to the conclusion to declutter my life. Both emotionally but foremost in the literal sense. Having lived in several flats with other people during the last 8 years and now living with my man who has also lived with other people for years, I have acquaintanced so much stuff. So.much.stuff. I'm one of those people that feel the weight of material belongings on their shoulders (told you: hippie!), especially stuff I don't need or use. At the same time I'm one of those people that say 'Oh, I'll keep this, it's still good, you know.' (hippie!)

Which leads me to this:

Every day, I'll go through one part of my belongings and decide what to keep, what to donate and what to sell. If I don't use it, I'll give it away.

I actually started with my Make Up. I had one big fat drawer full of stuff: from cheap eye glitter to ridiculous fake eyelashes. Observe:



And here's what I've kept:

*spoilers*

Feels good so far! Next step: clothes

More rules:

I won't buy anything for one month. Except for the obvious stuff: food, toiletries etc.

Do:
- drink water, lots of it
- join that yoga class
- sell stuff, pay dept
- meditate
- got to bed early/wake up early

Don't:
- no alcohol. ever.
- no TV. DVDs are okay.
- no ordering food. eat clean.
- let your fears stop you

I'll let you know how it goes. Maybe even someone wants to join me ?

Life:



Glen Matlock of the Sex Pistols will play at my bar in April, I might just be a bit excited
