- It's time to set up space to put clothes I'm keeping before I put them in the closet. I also need space for the clothes to go after they have been washed so they are ready for sorting.

Way to go Mira! 1 corner, 1 pile, 1 drawer at a time. It’s not a sprint, it’s a marathon. Remember self talk should be positive so when you look at your clutter don’t concentrate on what is left to do but what has been done! Celebrate all the wins, the big and the little!!❤
Thank you for letting the worn out pants go. You will never miss them.😊
Well done Mira - you’ll be surprised at how quickly you actually can get through your bedroom now you have a plan.
And getting rid of holey clothes and just wearing your good clothing is putting you first - it will make a difference to how you feel.
Totally agree. I stopped keeping stuff for best and started wearing it every day instead. Made a massive difference to my mood. Got rid of the tatty stuff I thought was okay for everyday. 😊
I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS MIRA!! YOUR SENSE OF HUMOR, PERSONALITY AND AUTHENTICITY IS VERY REFRESHING!! YOU JUST KEEP IT REAL!!💯💯💯.
Thank you so much!
Dear Mira, we had to say goodbye to our dog on Friday, and this video makes me feel better. Your laughter is a real breath of fresh air and for a moment I needed to escape my grief. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your videos, which bring so much positivity into our lives.
I'm so sorry 😢
@@cremebrulee4759 the pain will slowly disappear, it's the guilt which is the most difficult part to deal with
So sorry for your lost.
Aww sorry to hear that thinking of your pup 🌈
Sincere condolences
You may not think you have a "thick" decluttering muscle but Mira, you are definitely getting there. Throwing out those leggings that were getting threadbare was exercising that "decluttering muscle. Like grieving, the process takes time and each and every day it gets a little bit easier. Bless you for keeping at the decluttering, Cupid and your Mother must be very proud .
So inspired that you let the old torn pants go. I have a drawer full of old, torn, stained “project” clothes that I can’t remember the last time I wore. I’m now celebrating an empty drawer after tossing it all 🎉🎉. Thank you Mira.
I love this for you! Thank you for sharing, and I'm glad I could play any part in inspiring you to toss them. Thanks for watching!
“Quality decluttering content at the most awkward angles possible” 🤣🤣🤣 You had me LOL!
Great job Mira keep up the good work!! 👏🏻🥰
Everytime you clear out a space like a cabinet or floor I think, "Hooray Mira!"I know its hard now but you will love the end results.
The "freeze" response is totally legitimate. Sometimes, when our brains are overwhelmed we go into attentive immobility. It's an emotional and nervous system response. Totally normal, and totally relatable.
Well done! It might not look like much on camera, but you made a lot of decisions and had a lot of new insights. Physically moving the objects is a necessary step in decluttering, but making decisions about the clutter and learning about behaviors that change how clutter comes into your life is the real heavy lifting.
Throwing away one pair of ripped leggings may not make a dent in the actual clutter, but it will help you to realize that you deserve nice things and you have an abundance in your life that means you don’t need to save things that are no longer functional for you. I also appreciate you talking about how your grief feels. I am struggling with similar feelings about my increasing disability and it feels so good to have someone perfectly describe the weight and space of grief.
I appreciate your lovely words. I'm sorry you are experiencing struggles. I wish you all the best. Thanks so much for watching!
Yay, a new video, I so enjoy following your progress. Great idea to have a sorting station so you don't keep stuff shuffling.
You had me laughing right away about the camera angles. 😄 You have a way with words.
As for muscles they aren't built in a day. You are growing your decluttering muscles in a slow and steady way - which is the healthiest way.
this mug declutter has been the biggest tease!
you're doing so great, Mira.
I’m so sorry you feel frozen. From the outside looking in, you’re doing a lot! You’re so brave, and I admire you and your strength and willpower.
Thank you so much!
They say we only wear 20% of our clothes 80% of the time. Knowing this, it made it easier for me to get rid of more clothes. Also, a quicker way would be to just go ahead and donate, if you can, instead of trying to re-sell. You're doing great!!!
What a wonderful improvement! Such a small space really made a difference for you. You deserve a clean bed and room Mira ❤
Thanks so much! 😊
Clay was super “helpful” in this one! He thinks everything you do is so very interesting. My dog is the same. Mira, I really admire that you continue to Declutter at a steady pace. You’ve been through a lot in the last few months and it might be slower than you think you should be going but I think you’re doing a fantastic job. And I continue to love to see all the different prints on your clothing. That’s a lot of fun.
I saw something once that I actually thought was lovely. The grief doesn't get smaller, or take up less space, you don't get "less sad" about the losses. It's you that grows bigger around it. (Though it was worded much better and more succinctly!)
I'm proud of you for letting go of the pants! 🤩
Good job on declutterring and throwing out the black pants! That made me smile really big. ❤
Your making progress doesn't matter how long it takes. Seeing the totes means you have a system going for now & can keep what you have sorted for selling or using it looks neater. Keep going girl you got this & you are helping all of us!
Totally agree!
Another of your videos I have to save! The first few minutes of the video while you’re talking to us and reaching for different garments, that little charmer Clay stole the show! He wiggled his way to the back of the bed sniffing almost every piece of cloth along the way. He got to the back, turned in a circle or two, then sniffed and wiggled his way back. I was practically in tears I was laughing so hard! Once again, he sniffed and wiggled his way to the back, circled, then wiggled and sniffed his way to the front! Back and forth he went, occasionally looking at you (what was going through his mind? ‘“I’m glad she’s keeping those leggings, they look good on her.”). At times I thought he was checking off inventory. Other times I figured he was looking for something: “I know it’s here! I’m certain I left my bone here!” I laughed and laughed! OMG, Clay is the most adorable little dog! But, I have to watch several times before I can focus on you and decluttering! Now, don’t be upset, he can’t help being a scene stealer (kidding!). Anyway, great video that will keep my mood up and my focus on decluttering (and adorable dogs). Thank you!
Ha ha, I agree that he steals the show! He's such a character; I adore him. Thanks so much for watching and commenting.
It's good you are at a stage where you recognise why you are cluttering the lounge
GOOD GIRL !!! You got rid of those leggings. Huge victory for you. Strength and joy to you.
I lost my mom 5 years ago - there are different stages of grief. They don’t go away but we learn to manage. I am so proud that you have kept going!! That speaks volumes. Love your videos and love your attitude. You got this!!! Looking forward to the next video!!
Hi Mira, happy to see you continue posting and working away at this. I really look forward to a video that shows you listing the things on Mircari and dropping things off for donation. I think it will feel so much better for you if you start to see less so it isn't so overwhelming when you start to put things away. I know it is a lot of work. It personally makes me feel so good when I see you tossing things or putting things in your car for donation. It is my personal thing but it does give me a bit of anxiety when I just think you are moving piles around.
Consider getting grief counseling, dear Mira. You are suffering. On another topic: STOP buying leggings and STUFF!! I was gobsmacked when I saw more in your last video!
I don't 🤔 she's buying more. I think all of them we've seen are what she already had. I believe even the unopened pkgs of leggings were old purchases.
Mira I lost my younger brother in 2012 in a hit and run accident which has never been solved. I also lost my father to lung cancer. This all happened in February, but in different years, so I normally get very down when February approaches. I just want to tell you that your channel means so much to me and thank you for sharing even when you are grieving. Sending love and hugs from South Africa.
Wow, how heartbreaking. I wish you love and hugs as well. I am so happy that my channel can help you. Thanks so much for watching and commenting.
Sue Wolfe- Another success, Mira! Keep up the good work. I've donated clothes since i don't have the storage space to keep extras. It's been hard realizing i can't keep all I'd like to keep, but others can use them. Keep up the great work, Mira. We're all cheering for you! 👍💪👏👌😉❤️❤️
Good for you getting rid of holey pants! You deserve nice things!
Hi, I've never hoarded or wanted clothes. I love to watch people sort. My mom hoarded clothes, papers, and trash. My dad would toss, we'd toss, she'd cry, everything just kept piling up. Once, I got sick from the mold. Tina, Al's wife
Ding dong, those leggings gone 😂🎉 SO proud of you 👍🏻 Cleared space looking good 👍🏻 Can’t wait for you to change up your bedding. You deserve it & I’m amazed myself how new sheets &/or blankets change the entire feel of a room. ❤
Mira, lost my dad last week your perception of grief helps a lot, thank you!
I'm so very sorry to hear this. I'm glad my words could help. Be kind to yourself and take care. Wishing you comfort.
Mira, I have so much respect for you sharing your journey with us. Grief is hard, we all have it and I extend healing, comfort and love to you. Sometimes that grief, can freeze us in time and affect all aspects of our life. You have had a lot of struggle, but look at you get at it one step at a time. Way to go, Superwoman Mira!!!! I will be holding your hand throughout, I wish you lived near me, I would walk the journey with you. xoxo
You are so sweet! Thanks so much for this lovely comment.
It might be helpful to move your clothes onto your spare sofa. That way you can clear a space in the bedroom and put things back when sorted. Or maybe do this with your wardrobe so that you start with an empty space and things go back to their forever home.
Dearest Mira,
You inspire me so much. I love how you are working at your own pace and giving yourself grace. Watching you keeps me going
Thank you so much! Wishing you the best.
Go Mira! Giggle giggle giggle. You brighten my day. Amazing progress and good you are completely removing the filled bags at the end of the day… makes a huge difference.x
Mira, it’s been a little over 5 years without my mom and I can tell you that the day will come when you’ll think of your mom and smile, with just the tiniest of tugs at your heart. The same is true for our fur babies. One of my two crossed the rainbow bridge in September and the pain and hurt are starting to fade. Her sister/littermate is still with us, making that grief journey a bit more bearable, as I’m sure Clay does for you. I’m always thinking of you and praying for you. I love your courage to share so much with us. ❤
PS - I avoid “dry clean only” like the plague!
I love that you are continuing to find things that bring you so much joy, like your joker necklace. May that continue to push you on the hard days! I'm so excited for you to continue this journey and to enjoy the rewards it brings. As someone who doesn't struggle with depression (I get anxiety instead, yay!) but who struggles with (self diagnosed) seasonal depression in the winter, I find the cleaning and organizing at least helps. Sometimes I'll light a candle and get my spring scents going to help as well. Hope you are well and your heart is healing okay Mira!
P.S. I love that you are continuing to find what works for you. I can see why you are so crafty! I know it can get hard when you're in the "it gets worse before it gets better stage" but cleaning off those tops and having somewhere to put your clothes for now will lead to good things down the road, and allow you to continue your decluttering a bit easier I think!
I think that you are going to end up with very strong decluttering muscles from these frequent workouts! Wishing you all the best from here in the UK.
Thank you so much!
Bit by bit! Go you!🎉
Hi Mira, little by little keep chipping away at the ice(clutter). Slowly but surely as you continue to declutter and donate, you will start seeing space in your home and you will have the space to organize the things you want to keep.
I too was on a decluttering journey. Took me three years!!! Because I work full time so I didn't have time during the week to tackle me stuff. But little by little I kept chipping away at my clutter and shredding tons of papers. Three years later, I can proudly say I have less clothing and less papers.
You got this Mira, keep chipping away at your clutter. Sorry for your losses. Maybe a support group for those who lost loved ones can help you in your time of mourning. You are doing a good job!!!
Your videos just recently came up as a suggestion for me to view. I want to tell you how much strength and grace you have shown in all your videos. I admire how you have persevered despite your grief yet still can look back at yourself in your videos and chuckle at yourself. You are an inspiration! I undertook a decluttering of my house a few years ago and I did exactly what you did - one small space at a time. But you have achieved so much more in such a short time. Congratulations and keep up the good work!
I can emphasize with your grief. I lost one of my 2 cats in 2019 and I was hurt to my core. I cried everyday for months. Work numbed me about thinking about my grief and when I wasn’t at work I lost myself in reruns of my favorite sitcoms in order not to look at house and how empty it was without my precious little one.
Recently (October 2023) I lost my dad at 94 after watching him weaken and weaken - very tough. I took time off from work the last 2 weeks of his life. Had the best connections when he was lucid enough to know I was there. So I am at peace with his passing (but it can still catch me off guard).
My other cat is very old and has health issues and I thought I was going to lose her and my dad in 2023. It has been very hard moving forward. I find I get very frustrated and easily annoyed at others. Watching your videos have made me realize that I need to reach out to a professional to help me.
Your video on revisiting your living room made me smile. I have plans in the very near future of revisiting areas in my house to go through again. What better time to tackle my storage room then when I’m putting away my Christmas decorations. 😊
I appreciate your thoughtful, detailed comment. Losing loved ones is so painful. I'm sorry about the recent loss of your dad. I'm glad you had some good connection leading up to his passing. I got that with my mom and feel so blessed about it. Good for you for reaching out to a professional. I'm going to do the same. You're in my thoughts. Thanks for watching.
Nice to see you Mira. Today was a 'progress, not perfection' type of day here too.. These are just as important as the big progress days. Your words about grief ring with so much truth. I am sure we can all relate, even though we all experience it differently. Keep on keeping on. :)
Great job, Mira. You threw away the holey leggins! Bravo. I have been binge watching Hoarders for motivation. My very large dining room table is covered in donations, which will be this week's adventure. I find myself revisiting areas to declutter more things. I feel as if I'm going backward, not making enough progress. I have emptied 5 giant totes of clothing. I found a large tote of the next sized down pants. I am forcing myself to select just a few to keep, many thrift store purchases. So I'm purging some pants. I find myself having to crawl over other things to get to where the pants are. I have no idea where where to put those things. Ah, if I could wave my magic wand to make everything go away. If anyone has suggestions about what to do with the things I crawl over, please feel free to answer. Your humor is always so entertaining. I need the endorphins! Love and hugs my friend.
It sounds like you are doing a great job to me. It's not an easy process but by taking it one box or tote at a time you will get there.
Making more mess and displaced items always happens. Work in progress.
It would be great to have that magic wand. It sounds like you are doing great. A little at a time is just fine. You can do it!
I’m looking forward to your mug declutter. I’m just like you. I have a massive amount of mugs and tee shirts.😂😂😂
There's nothing like sleeping on clean bedding. I hope you enjoyed it as much as I do! I'm glad you tossed those leggings since you have plenty more to wear. 🙂 You're doing a great job, Mira!
Good job, Mira! Hang in there. You are doing great.
„Why am I like this?“ what do you mean, why are you such a creative person?! Lucky you, dear Mira!
I saw a decluttering video last year where they mentioned that If everything is special, then nothing is special. It really resonated with me and I was able to let go of much more when I realized how true that is.
That is helpful. Thanks for sharing!
Way to go, Mira! Getting rid of those leggings was a huge step! I know how you feel - I’ve just gone through my leggings - some are really hard to part with. As I went through them I checked the size - if they were too big, they had to go. If I was uncertain I tried them on then checked how they looked in the full length mirror. If okay they stayed, if not they went! It took three days but I am now down to what I consider a manageable number (40 or so!). T shirts is the next big one for me. After doing an initial sort several weeks ago, then finding a hidden stash, it’s time to revisit them!
You are such an inspiration, Mira! I love your attitude, your humour, your ability to bring us into your life.
Looks like you are making progress! I worked on paperwork and shredded old and organized what needs kept. Started filling out my budget book for this year. Organized a bit in pantry..a lot more to go. Do have declutter box filling up. We are getting there! 😊😂😅
I wanted to cheer out loud when you said you would put the box of dog costumes in the cubby where the dog stuff goes. You have a place for it. You look at something and know where it goes. This is what progress looks like.
I am fully braced for the mug declutter!!! 😂😂😂 ❤❤❤
Great job ❤
Love your sense of humor. You are doing a wonderful job. Decluttering is hard and you are making great progress. Keep up the good work. A tip for decluttering clothes that works for me is to think about what I am really wearing before I start. It makes it easier to let the rest go.
Your right grief is exhausting but so is clutter hopefully as you go along your journey it will get easier keep up the good work your doing great ❤❤❤❤
I totally understand what you mean regarding grieving and I'm so sorry for the loss of your mother and Cupid.😪 I lost my father recently and I'm overwhelmed with grief. Wishing you many blessings and sending hugs from Ontario Canada.
I'm so sorry to hear about your father. It is so hard. Hugs to you too.
Good job working steady on your goals! So proud of you letting things go to Thread Up and donation and trash!
Good for you for keeping on. Grief is hard and takes so much time to really get through. It's okay if breaks are needed but you gotta know those who love you truly was you to have your space the way you want it.
Great job Mira!
Mira you keep going qt your own pace. When your having a tough day pick a small space.just promise yourself that you’ll do a little some thing ever day. I know it’s hard when your going through so much but we are routing for you 💕💕💕💕💕 your doing a great things for yourself you deserve a ton of praise💕💕💕💕💕
I have way to many clothes too.
I've finally gotten over thinking I might be that little size again.😅
I am sad that I am now caught up on your videos, but happy that with all you have been through in the past few months you are pushing through and really getting so much done to free your home and mind of the clutter. I am so sorry for your losses and thank you for sharing Cupid and your Mom with us. It is an honor. I am happy to say you have motivated me to start going through my clothes again. I have a lot of crafts, but more than that, clothes. I started a few months ago and donated a bag of shoes and I have been driving around with 2 bags of clothes that I just need to put in the donation bin. I finally found a bin that gives back locally and that was really what I was looking for. I have to say when I first started watching you I thought how cute your leggings were. I had no idea the volumes of leggings you own. I understand though as I also was a fomo buyer of things and like you had mentioned I also now sit on something and think about it before I buy it. Watching you declutter the leggings alone lets me know there is so much more I can part with and I will be ok after the items are gone.
Mira I would feel overwhelmed with all of those clothes, but seeing you go through them, makes me think I can do things too. Thank you and every little bit helps.
Yes, you can do it! Let's do it together.
Mira good job however instead of using those wipes get your self a can of furniture polish and micro fabric rags less expensive and won't ruin your furniture and if u keep after it will be less successful .good luck can't wait to see the whole finished job.
Clays little tail is the cutest thing ever! A little sheep is running around your home!
Mira, you are doing an incredible job! I love your sense of humor & all of your camera angles. I love the sound space you are creating in your home! You are so brave! ❤
Thank you so much!
Hi Mira- I'm watching some of your older videos that I hadn't seen. I was inspired to do one hour of decluttering of family mementos. I filled one bag with stuff I don't want to keep. We did a mug declutter a few months ago. My husband collected Starbucks city and country mugs for many years and we were able to donate a lot of them. We kept a few of our favorites. I was glad to have some more cabinet space in the kitchen. Thanks for all you do. Much love. 😊💐💐💐
Hi Mira, I m looking forward for your new videos. I watch the old ones again and again, and when you are peeling clutter I feel like my clutter is also being peeled away and I feel relief. We deserve a light life, and the best way for it is an organized space. I m so happy for you. You can achieve this among all the grief. So I believe I can too. Love…
I appreciate this lovely comment so much! I'm so glad my videos help you. Wish you all the best with your journey. Hugs.
I felt like that when my dad died. It just felt so weird that the world kept going like everything was normal when this huge change had happened to me. It passed eventually but in the early days it was very hard to adjust. Take care. I am enjoying your content
Thank you so much!
Way to go Mira! So proud of you girl!!! Baby steps!!!
Your videos really inspire me to give myself grace. Even though I am not at all going through similar things, I learn a lot. I actually think you would make a great therapist - just saying!
Wow, thank you!
Your grief journey is shared with so many of us. Take heart my dear, you are not alone.
only 1 minute in and smiling at the return on your laugh.
at the end: look at you! planned on two spaces and actually did 3! that's strengthened your decluttering muscles!
Nice work Ms Mira! Now you've got me motivated to clean something. ❤
That looks like a great way to handle the clothes sorting!
That last sequence was a true mic drop moment!
Dear Mira,
I have to tell you that I really love the sound of your laugh!
Allow yourself to feel every emotion, this is very important in the grieving process..
Keep being strong, you're doing great 🌸
Thank you very much!
Hi Mira, I love your positive attitudes and your persistence… it’s so inspiring!
I don’t know if you’ve ever watched Dawn from the Minimal Mom, but she discusses the concept of “inventory” which can help when there’s a big collection of particular items. I know it’s really helped me! All the best! 💐
I'll look into the inventory concept you mentioned. Thanks for commenting!
I'm so proud of you for getting rid of the leggings!! I've done the same thing and just was like...why am I salvaging these? Not even really conscience of it. Just want to find a USE for everything. So I began cutting up my old clothes to use as cleaning rags for really dirty jobs. That way if I have to throw it away - no biggie. I don't end up with some negative emotions about it. I'm not a hoarder by any means but just want myself and my things to be useful. I don't all the logistics that goes through the mind about all these things but I do know that bad habits or poor decisions we have made in the past do not define our future. We can change whatever we want to whenever we want to just by making that decision to do so. And that is what you are doing. Just by pure WILL. Sheer determination. WTG!!! I'm rooting for you!!!💞🌟✨💞🌟✨💞✨💞🌟✨💞🌟✨💞
You keep going and spur me on. I just finished getting Christmas packed away, getting rid of many things. I looked at what remained and think next year, more will go out. It seems never ending....
I was inspired to declutter my closet and dresser. I had a drawer full of stained, worn out clothes for “dirty jobs”. I forced myself to get rid of all but one shirt and bottoms.😊 Thank you for the inspiration.
Yay! I'm glad you did this.
Yay for tossing the black leggings!😄 I need to do that with my old slippers-I got new for Christmas but haven’t tossed the old-not sure why it’s hard but it is. I totally understand!!
I've never thought about it that way but you're right, grief has frozen me before too.
Well done for letting those pants go mira - that was a tough one. You’re doing amazing! Take care, from the UK Xx
Just an idea: when I am cleaning or tidying up. I remove the bag of trash and give aways immediately. That way when I come back it looks less cluttered
Hi Mira, I think you are doing a fantastic job with all that you have going on at the moment. I am on a weight loss journey and I just take it one day at a time. So be kind to yourself take things an hour at a time, a day at a time, whatever you can manage. Your perseverance is definitely paying off, well done and take care. xx
Great job, Mira! ❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉
You and your angles lol. It wouldn't be a Mira video without one. If you ever get them right I'll be so disappointed! Just another part of your relable charm.
Mira, maybe you can put all your clothes from the wardrobe info trash bags so it is easy to move them around and you can take one bag at a time to your living room and sort it there, having only one bag to go through should feel less overwhelming. And in the same time you would have an empty closet to put things back into?
Work is good for grief. You keep going Mira. Progress is progress. Love your videos!❤😊❤😊❤😊
Am so glad that you have cleared away the unit so you can put your clean clothes in its really good progress again keep going and I can't wait for the next instalment xx
Over the years I've also learnt not to but dry clean only pieces of clothing. I still have a few pieces I love and I hand wash them
Yay! Keep going Mira. You could make a lot on all those clothes with tags and all those legging😊❤
I am so sorry for your loss. Great job at the decluttering.
"quality decluttering content at the most awkward angles possible" 😂 love it
❤️❤️❤️ doing great 😊 your mom would be so proud of you ….i lost my mom 7 years ago and talk to her whenever I need her
Grief over loosing Mother certainly is zapping. You gave the best advice, to make time for you. You are pushing forward with organizing. Good for you.
Thanks for the upload sweetness. You are loved and appreciated!
I read this awhile back on Facebook and it really applied to all the loves I have lost including my dad and three fur babies over the years.
I know, in truth, that the world has not been changed by the loss of you,
And yet, I do not recognize the world I find myself in without you.
Edward Lee
Grief is such a personal experience. We have all felt it in a general way with the loss of a loved one so we sort of know what others are feeling. At the same time we don’t because each loss is personal to us and the relationship we had with our loved one, be that animal or person. It was a long time after my father died before I realized what his loss meant to others. His father lost a son, his siblings lost a brother, everyone was experiencing their own grief. There’s no easy answer for how to get through it because grief isn’t easy. All we can do is slog through until we start to feel half human again.
On a lighter note, Mira, I want to be friends with you! Watching you pull all this cool stuff out of your piles makes me think we’d have a lot of fun. We like a lot of the same movies and music. Too bad we don’t live close to each other,I would totally help you declutter, I’m one of those weirdos that loves that stuff. I’d love to help people in my area, but I can’t figure out a safe way to do it without meeting up with some weirdo and getting locked in their basement. That’s not how I want my Dateline 48 hour mystery to begin!
That is a beautiful quote about grief. Thanks for much for your lovely comment!
