    You are doing so well. Have you noticed you have formed some new micro habits along the way, like putting those hangers wrappers directly in the trash. Those would have ended up on the floor last year, doubling your workload. Also great sorting and putting it away straight away. Even more impressive with your health at the moment. You should be so proud of yourself. You have come a long way. I am so happy for you.

    Look at you, letting go of a full Ikea bag! That is amazing, you are doing really well! I also liked how you show needing breaks now and then - we all should remember to take breaks. Thank you for the video!

    3:23 I have a “transition bin” that I use for things I’m not sure I’m ready to give away yet. This way, if I continue to look for a particular thing and realize it’s in the bin, then I’m not ready to let go of it, but if I forget it’s even in there and forget I even have it, it allows me that time to transition and emotionally let go of the item.

    I have a trick that might help you make the this process faster! I just got done going thru my closets. I would hold up each top infront of a mirror with my behind it to get an idea if the color was right for me. I have grey hair now and some of my browns just were not as flattering like before and some colors that were not quite right with my brown hair looked great with my grey. That screened out clothes fast and then i could go thru the one that made the cut on the first round and start screening out more by style and condition of the clothes. It works so well that i have to share this with you!

    There's a great decluttering idea - turn your hangers around the 'wrong' way and when you've worn the item, hang them the 'right' way. It shows what you haven't worn and might help with round 2. 😃

    What an amazing transformation from the videos of a few months ago. This one had a bunch of clothes but the floor around you was clean, there were no water bottles all around, and the sofa was clean except the clothing you were sorting. I agree it’s the pits when our bodies don’t do what we want it to do anymore.

  • @CaliAnimalLover
    @CaliAnimalLover 4 місяці тому +12

    I love your process to be honest. You are making progress. And really NOT that slowly. I am sorry you got so sick, I think that’s why you’re so winded. I think that once you recover more you’ll bounce back. You had gotten so strong since the very beginning. And look at your whole house. The back patio is better. The library is so nice and so is your scrapbooking room. The kitchen is in much better shape, I love the new dining set. And now your bedroom is a work in progress. You’ve cleaned all the corners and gotten your closet sorted so you can organize your things and have more room. The livingroom still looks nice too. And you’ve made some pretty awesome friends along the way! (I personally love all of you, you, Bonnie, Mack and Jason, Barbie) you all are super heroes in my eyes. It’s been so inspiring watching all of you. And motivating. I move slow, not setting ANY land speed records by any stretch. But I hope that in the end my house won’t feel so suffocating. And I won’t be sticking my kids with trying to clean up this place after I go. I don’t want to do that to them. Take care of yourself! Be proud! Can’t wait to see the next installment of awesome sauce on your channel. And I’m still waiting for my Tarot card reading! Xo

    You did alot considering you've been ill recently. Taking breaks is a necessity for you, so give yourself grace. If you have other white shirts, get rid of the one that is stained. You don't have time or energy to dye anything as you're still decluttering and organizing at this time. Thanks for the motivation! ❤

    I have noticed after I let go of things, even if it is hard to do so, I don't think of them anymore. This encourages me when I struggle to let go of other things- I know they will be forgotten and not worth the production I put myself though LOL Do you notice that too? You are doing great sticking with the steady progress method. Love the garbage can idea in the living room!

  • @kiriaioulia
    @kiriaioulia 4 місяці тому +3

    I had a really hard time parting with clothing, too! One thing I was told as a suggestion, that helped, is - put your hangers into your closet so that the opening is in the front. Then if you wear it and replace it into the closet, put the hanger in with the opening to the back. THEN, after a year (or however long you decide to set for yourself) you go look at the hangers. All of them that are still with the opening in the front are items that you didn't wear in over a year... at that point, I had to decide if they went into a "momento" box, or if they went to donation. I found it was easier to put to donation after I realized that I hadn't worn the item in over a year!!!! maybe give it a try????

    If you’ve been collecting clothes for over 20 years and got rid of 500- that’s only 25 pieces per year, so that’s good.
    Keep culling Mira - put near the front door then in the car and every now and again drop into goodwill.
    Well done- you are still left with masses of clothes.
    At the moment I only have 40 pieces per season and some of them cross seasons - so only about 80 items in total.
    More than enough if you don’t go to an office to work :)

I am soon at the retirement age and with not much money which means I will need to continue to work. I have tried for 9 days not to spend money and I was successful just to use what I have I try and do this for food etc.. lets see how much I decide to donate and purchase?

The reason being is that if I have more clothes than hangers then I still have too much clothes 😊. I, like you, have acquired a lot of clothes throughout the years & intend to continue to peel another layer of that onion. I hope you're feeling better.

    Mira considering that you are still recovering this was a fantastic job and you got rid of so much too! I have got my act together too with decluttering. In the last three weeks I have got rid of a set of garden chairs, an exercise bike and my mobility scooter that has been riding in in the boot of my car for about 9 months, needs a new battery and I've decided it's not really worth having one because my partner can't walk far either and I can get around one shop with my crutches. Next thing to go is the spare bed! I've got to say Mira that your channel has inspired me and got me going on the declutter journey. Thank you and take care lovely lady ❤

    Clothes are the most difficult. The most! One thing that helps me sometimes, but not always, is my laundry pile. It usually contains my favorite things that I want to wear first. Sometimes I ask myself, if these were the only clothes I had, would life be any different, because these are the only clothes I wear anyway? But yet I often still keep so many others.

Doing 15-20 minutes at a stretch and saving your energy with small steps is key. You’re doing exactly the right thing.
    Did you know they make a wristwatch gadget now for people with limited energy to ensure we pace ourselves? It looks like a fitness tracker. Energy conservation and efficient use is key-you’re doing great!

    Your closet looks so good Mira I loved your skull leggings & noticed you had a few skull tops just in time for Spooky season. What progress you have made feel proud of yourself & feeling well is top priority so glad you are taking things slow & having breaks. We had a free curbside give away on the weekend got rid of half the items I put out on the curb & then packed up the rest in car & brought to donations. So felt good about that much stuff going out of the house for good. We all help keep each other going. See you soon!

    Mira, the strategy that I followed for the clothes that I over bought was to package up the overstock in tubs. Instead of having to shop, sourced from there. I don't see the sense in getting rid to rebuy the same thing.
    Instead of trying to home your excess shirts, why not store them when current use shirts wear out?

    You are doing a great job! I am so glad you are feeling better! I think that once you go through all of your clothes and then maybe work on something else and come back through your closet again, you will find more to part with. I know that is true for me. I have also heard of the trick of hanging up the items backwards on the railing to signify you wore it. That might help you once you’ve completed the first pass through. I am going to try that trick myself.

    So happy to see you're back 😊 You got rid of so much! Doing great! You might already know this trick but one way to figure out if you're wearing sth is to hang the hangers the opposite way so once you put the piece of clothing on, you will hang it back correctly and therefore know that you wore it 😊
