MINIMALISM// Decluttering non-material stuff and sitting with discomfort.

While Minimalism can clear your slate in terms of having fewer belongings; your life, time, and energy can easily and silently be filled back up by other “stuff” just as quickly if you don’t declutter this stuff the same way you would material possessions.

DONATING CLOTHES// There is No Somewhere Else

When I started writing about why donating clothes is not sustainable without introspection and change, I got asked “what do you suggest that I do with older clothes that I’ve had before I went zero waste?”

DELUTTERING IS A WASTE PROBLEM// A Theory about Objects and Clothing Attachment

There are many aspects of our relationship to objects and consumerism that I believe are problematic; like the illusion that something external, like physical possessions, will bring lasting happiness.

MENTAL CLUTTER// Declutter Other Peoples Opinions and Values

Trying to live a simple and clutter free life isn’t just about getting rid of stuff. Applying minimalism to all areas of your life eventually comes down to decluttering your internal world and getting closer and connected to who we really are.

Have you ever put something on from your own closet and felt like you were wearing someone else’s clothes? Or when something fits perfectly, but it just makes you feel a little off or uncomfortable, but you don’t really know why?
