    I've noticed that not only is your house changing, but you are too. You sound stronger, and so much more confident. It seems like you're moving quicker too. You probably don't really notice it yourself, but when you have accomplished your goals, go back and watch your first videos. It's pretty damn impressive!

    Mira❤ you are a mirror for me, in so many ways, I want to tell you how very much I appreciate you sharing this journey. I'm decluttering myself today and watching this video is my reward. 😊 I can always use extra motivation.

    NO TO THE CAMERA AROUND THE NECK! All the movement gave me a headache! You are doing a great job! Keep up the hard work!

    • @debbiebaldwin4096
      @debbiebaldwin4096 Рік тому +10

      I will need to just listen to you talk, rather than watch, if you use this camera set up. All of that motion does not play well with my vertigo. But I will always be cheering you on !!

      I agree it was a bit jarring! Especially when the footage was sped up 🫨The objects were way too close to the camera it was difficult to see what you were filming.

    You have such beautiful floors that were hidden under the clutter. It’s a joy to watch you reclaim your house and yourself in the process!🇺🇸

  • @habeebideemashayish2750
    @habeebideemashayish2750 Рік тому +1

    I think the largely positive reception (and growth!) that you're getting here is because you're so genuine!
    A lot of people who organize/declutter on here are already very minimal, and the houses that are more like yours and really *need* decluttering just have people who don't take accountability for how things got to where they are now, and then they don't really make any real progress.
    You acknowledge that your house got away from you, and that it is your responsibility, but you are so genuine and you're making MAJOR headway.
    Sure, I'd love to see you knock back a room at a time, but that's just not realistic, and you probably wouldn't get great results and would quickly fall back into old habits.
    I love that you use tape to show dimensions of the areas you're tackling.
    All that to say that you're *getting* positivity, because you're *giving* positivity. I'm so thrilled for your progress!!!

  • @elizabethsaffioti1432
    @elizabethsaffioti1432 Рік тому +33

    Everything looks so good! The fact that your goal was to clear out the space left of the tv, but then, when finished, moved on to the small pile by the loveseat, was pretty darn great! That whole area is done now! ❤️ You should be very proud of yourself.

  • @KlingonPrincess
    @KlingonPrincess Рік тому +50

    I am just blown away with your progress. I'd love to hear what instigated the change such that you actually are doing it? I have times of more energy/motivation when I get things done but you seem to have flipped a switch within. Regardless of the reason, you are crushing it! Blessings 🌻🍄

    You’re doing so well! You’re changing the quality of your life. Being able to move around freely without the nagging voice telling you you need to deal with that stuff. Seeing your hallway reminded me of when my hall was jammed with stuff. I had forgotten all about that because it’s been years now. I’m loving your channel.

  • @tahirihwalsh6217
    @tahirihwalsh6217 Рік тому +3

    Great job!! You’re making amazing progress! I used to have four large bookcases full of books. Over the last 6 years, through multiple rounds of decluttering, I’ve gotten my book collection down to about 6 small book boxes. Much more manageable. We’ve moved a lot and honestly I just got tired of packing and unpacking them. :-) My rule now is that if items don’t fit in the space we have, it’s getting tossed/recycled/donated. Feels good to get rid of things.

  • @garmstrong4872
    @garmstrong4872 Рік тому +9

    @barbb126 Рік тому +1

    I used to have a ton of VHS tapes. I was very into figure skating on TV and recorded lots of ice shows, competitions, and Olympic programs. Also some other tv shows. I also couldn’t find anywhere to recycle all these tapes, and ended up tossing nearly all of them. I felt guilty about it, but couldn’t hang onto them anymore - they filled an entire dresser!

  • @nesxya
    @nesxya 8 місяців тому +1

    VHS tapes and cassettes are considered e-waste. So the recycling drop off for them is any electronic drop places that take computers, TVs, cords, etc. One of our recycling centers has a dumpster that you throw those items into. Hope that helps.

  • @kellyb3211
    @kellyb3211 Рік тому +6

    I like being able to see more closely the things you are going through but agree the footage is a bit too ‘shakey’.
    From what I understand by watching other decluttering channels, the camera is often in an inconvenient place for the person doing the actual filming. So I guess it’s all about that happy medium between what the viewers ask for and what shots you can set up.

    Enjoy your videos! Keep up the good work! I had to have a plumber come to my house recently and I took a lot of stuff out of the living room area and shuffled it to the 2 bedrooms. So nice to get rid of the goat trail. I did have to move some stuff out of my bedroom to get to my clothes and bed that night. But the next day I went through several boxes of stuff and very happy to say that a lot went into recycle, a lot went into the shred box and I had a bit of garbage. So nice to have that accomplished and I imagine you feel the same way. Thank you for sharing your story.

    • @PeelingAwaytheClutter

    Maybe you can take a picture of things like the CD you used to listen to with your niece and donate the actual CD? You’re doing so much progress each week! One thing I’ve found is that it’s ok to let go of hobbies I used to do. Like I used to crochet rugs but now I prefer to do embroidery and have let go of all the crochet equipment. IF I want to crochet again there is always a lot of stock at the thrift stores.

    the VHS that you are keeping as a reminder, why not take a pic on your phone as a reminder? You know you don't have a VHS player and you won't be able to play it anyway, it would be one object less to keep. Because once it is placed with your stuff, you won't remember it anymore. This is a tip I remember from the Hoarders show! lol
