Parting With Sentimental Clutter

Letting go of sentimental items is hard, but sometimes necessary for a fresh start. Here’s how to do it with compassion:

• Start Small: Begin with a non-sentimental space like a junk drawer.
• Use Four Boxes: Keep, Donate/Sell, Toss, Undecided.
• Preserve the Memory: Take a photo or write about the item to help release attachment.
• Let Go of Guilt: Be honest—is the item meaningful, or just something you feel obligated to keep?

Letting go creates space for new memories and possibilities in your next home.
