Thanks for sharing this! I just started on a 30 day De-Cluttering Challenge yesterday. Just couldn't stand the mess surrounding me anymore.
I really resonate with you on the part where you mentioned about eating off good plates, wear the fancy jewellery...For the longest time, I would keep all the good stuff instead of using them. Like my favourite hand cream from L'Occitane which I received as a gift I kept for like 2 years! Recently I have decided to pull it out and use it! Now I share it with my colleagues and enjoy it! So one of the things I am going to do this year is also to stop buying stuff and use up everything that I have sitting around at home.
Thanks again for sharing this! I want a better lifestyle free of anxiety!! Wish me luck in my quest!! Upvoted!
