IT’S FIXABLE!

DON’T GO COLD TURKEY

“There are stories of people who go too minimalist and miss their stuff,” says Jessica. It’s OK to be attached to possessions and get comfort from them – just make sure you’re mindful and deliberate about what you have.

OPEN YOUR EYES

“The first step is awareness,” Jessica says. “The realisation of, ‘Look at all these clothes I have that I’m not wearing.’ Once your attention is drawn to it, you might set a specific time to develop a decluttering strategy.”

ASK YOURSELF

Have I worn this item of clothing in the past year?

Has this object been broken and not fixed in the past year?

ACTION PLAN

It’s time to donate or throw out those belongings.
