What should I do if I yearn for a minimalist life and want to throw away old things but am afraid to

If you have hidden an old object in a corner for a long time, you have long forgotten its existence, and you will only remember it when you occasionally turn over things, which means that you actually do not attach so much importance to its memories, then please do not hesitate to throw it away or give it to someone in need; If an old object was given to you by a friend of yours, but you don't like it or don't want to use it, express your gratitude to your friend in earnest, make it clear to him that you don't really like it, and then give it to someone in need. (I think the subject said that you don't want to throw away memories mean that you don't want to throw away memories with friends, not just memories with objects, right?) Believe me, after expressing your gratitude to your friends, being honest with your friends will make your friends know you better, and true friends get along with each other honestly. If a friend keeps giving you something you don't like, and you have been reluctantly accepting it, distressed that you don't know what to do with it, and slowly you will subconsciously think that your friend doesn't understand you, causing you some unnecessary trouble, and your friend's feelings will be damaged.

And in fact, it is very likely that the person who sent you something has long forgotten what to send you. If it's something you like, you've been using it for a long time, but you can't use it anymore, remember it, say thank you for being there for it, and throw it away. What you like and treat with your heart will not be forgotten and remembered by you just because it is not with you.

If you really feel that you have a poor memory and are easy to forget, just take a picture. (But I don't recommend taking pictures because I think albums also need to be sorted out and cleared) The initial disconnection is a painful process, because you have to make countless choices every day, whether to keep it or throw it away, leave it and feel too much trouble, throw it away and fear throwing away the memory together. But in fact, in the process of discarding, you will look at them all carefully, and then carefully select which ones should be left and which ones should be discarded.

After making repeated choices, you will know yourself more clearly, know what you really like, what you want, what you need, let go of your obsession with things, and the next time you bring something into your home, you will be more careful about whether it should stay with you. And the items that can still be with you after you have thought it through must be the ones you like, need and need, and they will be the ones you cherish more. Then if you throw it away after making the best use of it, you won't have to worry about whether you will throw it away along with your memories, because cherished things will not be forgotten casually.

And you'll become more confident because you're doing what you're doing and because you know yourself.

Things that carry memories, gifts from others, souvenirs, relics of family members, things collected on a whim ......We have a lot of feelings for these things, so naturally we are reluctant to throw them away. Not only that, but deep down we also have the "fear of loss" in our hearts. Recently, there are often people who "take pictures of relics as souvenirs" and then dispose of the physical objects.

In fact, other things can be handled in the same way. If you want to take a look at it from time to time, just take a digital ** and store it in the computer. In this way, you can rest assured that you can still be bold.

If you don't even read ** often, you can even delete ** after a period of time. After all, what is truly worth remembering will surely remain in our memories.

A minimalist lifestyle is now in vogue to make the room look less cluttered and save time tidying up the room. So when a person is used to all kinds of shopping, and the room has been filled with all kinds of useful and useless things, how to deal with it in order to live a minimalist life and keep memories, let's talk about it briefly.

Start by cleaning out your wardrobe

We say that women always feel that they have one less piece of clothing in their wardrobe, and if you are a woman, then I believe your wardrobe is full. In fact, if you think about it carefully, there are many people who have not been worn for several years, or because they are not in the same shape as before, they can't be worn. Or that when you are older, your temperament is different from before, and you can't wear it.

Although there are a lot of clothes, there are still a few pieces that are worn every season. You can clean up unnecessary clothes, throw them away, donate them, and you can make a lot of them.

Electronics

I believe that there should be a lot of obsolete electronic products at home. For example, mobile phones, obsolete household appliances, and useless small appliances, because the service life of electronic products is very limited. Generally speaking, mobile phones are replaced about once every two years, and those that are eliminated should not be used again.

You can't recall anything of these things just by looking at one shell, so let's deal with them all in one place.

Control at the source

If you want to live a minimalist life, the most important thing is not to buy things like crazy. Many people have a habit of seeing discounts, and they like to buy them when they see them cheaper than usual, otherwise they will feel that they are losing, and in the end they find that they have bought a lot of things that they don't need at all. For the sake of minimalist life, this habit must be curbed, and when buying things in the future, it is absolutely necessary to consider from the perspective of practicality and durability.

In fact, it is a good habit to think about living a minimalist life, which means that the things we buy are useful, and very practical and durable. It's not that you have to buy some useless things for a discount, in fact, these things are very wasteful when they are not used when they are not used.
