Introduction

We all have stuff. Some of us may have more stuff than others but in the grand scheme of things, we all have way more stuff than we realistically need.

With that being said, we can all stand to get rid of some of our stuff. But I get it. Your stuff is important to you. Its not just a collection of random items that have gathered in your space. Every item means something to you or at least it meant something when you got it.

Rather than immediately launching into this long diatribe about why you should get rid of your excess stuff (thats going to come later with some really helpful tips and tricks), Im going to share my story first.

I was your typical 21 st Century woman. I was busy juggling my career, my social life and my family life. Things were going well but for some reason my stress level was at an all-time high. My career was demanding but I thought I had control over everything. All of my needs were met and I enjoyed a very full life. I had a closet full of fabulous clothes, shoes and purses. I had a wonderful apartment that was well decorated and I managed to squeeze in regular massage appointments to ensure that I relaxed as much as possible. But something was still off.

The massages werent actually working.

I still felt stressed and it wasnt until I turned my attention to my home that I realized the problem.

I had way too much stuff.

It was stuff that I had slowly amassed over the years. My home wasnt messy in any way, mind you. I cleaned regularly and kept everything in its place. But one day I was sitting in my office trying to concentrate and I looked around and noticed there was an overabundance of folders, boxes and cabinets filled with stuff. Suddenly I felt it all closing in on me and I knew I needed to make some changes.

I needed to clear out some of this stuff and ultimately clear my mind but when I walked over to one of my cabinets and went to throw some things out, I stopped. I couldnt just start throwing things away like this. There was a reason why I had kept everything. I needed it. I slowly took some things out and looked at them, quickly realizing that the items were several years old. I also realized that I hadnt looked at it in several years.

Maybe I didnt need it after all but I still couldnt bring myself to just start throwing things away en masse. I needed to separate from my stuff in a way that honored my emotional tie to it. I did some brainstorming and came up with a solution that Im going to share with you.

I decided to write a goodbye letter to my stuff. That way I could give it the send-off it deserved. If you have a hard time getting rid of your stuff, give this tactic a try. It worked wonders for me.

Dear Stuff,

Please dont take this wrong way. You are very important to me. Ive kept you around all this time because I just couldnt part with you. I needed you to be readily available at all times. I balked at putting you in storage because that would be disrespectful to the relationship that we have.

But now that I look around and see that there is now so much of you I realize that Ive been unfair to both of us. Ive been using you as a crutch. Youve been sitting here gathering dust and Im not using you the way Id intended when I kept you.

This is not the type of relationship that we should have and with that in mind, I have to say goodbye. I thank you wholeheartedly for what youve meant to me and what youve done for me with your presence. But the time has come for us to part ways.

Dont worry. Im not going to unceremoniously dump you in the nearest trash bin that I see. Im going to respect our relationship until the very end. Youve served me well but now its time for me to move on. I still appreciate you as much as I did the day we met. I know you will go on to provide some great value in your next life.

Goodbye Stuff.

Yours Truly,

Me

Feel free to edit your letter and make it as nice and loving or as gruff as youd like. The ultimate point is to honor the role your stuff has played in your life while releasing it from being necessary. If you have a hard time getting rid of your stuff, this is an important step. Its your way of giving yourself permission to move on to the next step which is identifying what stuff can stay and what must definitely go. Writing the goodbye letter will help you begin to make peace with ridding yourself of the extra stuff you dont need.

Once youve begun to make peace with it, you can start to adopt a more minimalist mindset.

Philosophy

B reaking up with your stuff is going to be hard. Just because youve written a letter and gotten the process started doesnt mean that it will be easy from this point forward. This will be a process of coming to grips with getting rid of your stuff then changing your behavior to make sure that you dont end up in the same position again. In order to begin to implement this change in behavior you should adopt a new mindset.
