31 Gifts ~ Day Twenty-Two

Day Twenty-Two: Simplify
 
As you are cleaning your home, getting out your holiday decorations and preparing for parties and visitors, begin to practice minimalism by looking at the items in your home with a more critical eye. 
 
 What can you let go?  Keep a bag or box with you as you go from room to room. 
 
Donate clothes you no longer wear because they don’t fit, are no longer your style, you haven’t worn in years or, maybe, you have 4 or 5 of the same or similar items. 
 
Are there everyday décor pieces you have kept around and no longer even really notice, except to give a quick dusting? 
 
Have you been holding on to the random glassware, flatware, plates from old sets?  If you are like me and do very little hosting, how many serving dishes do you really need? 
 
Do the same with your holiday stuff as you are preparing to pack it away for another year….what never makes it out of the storage boxes anymore for display? 
 
It's very cathartic to shed some of the old and over-abundant.  It's the perfect way to begin a new year, free from the excess weight of those things. 
 
Helping to make you feel lighter...even before you head back to the gym among the Resolutioners!!!
