While I was on vacation I watched a bit of Netflix and I found this documentary called Minimalism - A Documentary about the Important Things. A lot of it resonated with me. I love to shop and I have a hard time getting rid of stuff. I will buy something just because I think it's cute, or I think I just can't live without it, or sometimes for a social status. When I was cleaning up the house I found a ton of things that I never even took out of the box. I realized that I don't want to do that anymore. I only want to have things around me that make me happy, that I will use and are of good quality.
I ended up donating 10+ bags of stuff to the Goodwill and it felt really good. My house was starting to stress me out because there was just so much stuff and I was running out of places to put things. It was hard for me to get rid of some of the stuff but I really needed to let go of things.
Now don't get me wrong, I am not saying that I will never go shopping again, or I will only buy used items, I just need to stop buying so much!!! I think this will help the hubby and I get a bit more financially secure as well. I want my house to be a place of comfort and refuge.
