Lesson 15.

12 questions to help you let go of difficult items.

It's normal to confront emotional items while doing your minimalist journey.

Decision making becomes very difficult and you may get stuck.

It is ok.

And it is very normal.

Answering these 12 questions will help you make a more confident decision.

I want to share with you a resource that we have been building over the years of working with clients that will help you let go of difficult items.

This resource is hugely helpful.

One of the things that people encounter when they go through a down size,

A declutter or a purge is that they have a really hard time letting go of things,

Especially if they have sentimental attachments to them.

That's why we developed this 12 questions resource sheet.

This resource offers you some really hard hitting questions.

These are the 12 questions that you can ask yourself.

Do I need it?

Or just want it?

Does this item match my goals?

Do I want to create a home for it?

Is it easy to find another one?

Can I manage without it?

Do I love it?

Are the time and storage costs worth it?

Am I keeping it because of guilt?

Is there anyone who may need it?

Will a picture of it not meet my need for it?

Am I keeping it to avoid something emotional?

Do I have more than one of it?

It's answering these questions what will make the decision making so much easier and faster.

If you have a friend working with you,

We suggest you give them this list of questions so that when you come across those difficult items you will know very quickly in less than 12 questions if you are going to keep it or let it go.

Remember to always keep in mind your desired outcome and the reasons why you want it.

When going through your belongings,

Having your outcome in mind and asking these questions will help you make a more confident decision.

I hope this resource helps you let go of difficult items.
