When a friend said 2019 would be the year of abundance for him, I, without much thought, proclaimed it to be a year of frugality for me.
The year started with a (sham) vow to go frugal! I use the word 'frugal' for the effect, what I really mean is to go minimalist.
Frugal or minimalist...easier said than done...it's been a month (almost) and I am staring at the number of totally unessential stuff bought on amazon. Every day, more things enter my space and i feel violated. I feel weighed down by all the things that I call mine. This is not imposed but self-induced anxiety.
So many pairs of jeans, so many tops, footwear...do these really add to the person I am or I aspire to be? Those umpteen number of gadgets, accessories...what do they bring to my life?
To declutter and to make space for the things that bring real value and joy is no easy task... letting go is never simple...
I will take one step at a time...but I will get there...
You could always donate to feel lighter and less weighed down... Give it a shot!
