When you want to clear the clutter, it can be hard to decide what to keep and what to let go. Often what makes it hard is the emotional attachment. The thing triggers the memory and we re-live the past experience. But, that doesn't mean keeping all of it makes us happier or more satisfied. In fact, less is more and keeping a few special things can be more satisfying.
If you're working on a major project, like the basement, it can be helpful to have some options besides keep, toss or donate. There are in fact ways to keep and let go. Once you try some of these, it can transform the way you look at things.
Play favorites: If you have collections whether it's mugs or teddy bears, start paring them down by playing favorites. The idea is to pare down until you have your three favorites. If you want, take a picture of the whole collection. Donate, eBay or share the rest. Then enjoy and display your three favorites
Miniaturize: The word itself can set your imagination going. Think of ways you can miniaturize what you have. It might be anything from taking a photo or salvaging a small piece of an old quilt and framing it. This way you have kept a part and gotten rid of the rest.
Memory box: Before you start, select a special box to save your memorabilia. Whatever you keep needs to fit into the box. This way you can keep small items and photos of things as mentioned above. Either way you have set a limit by the size of the box.Â
Tell a story: Remember it's the memory that means the most. It's not the things. Here is an opportunity to share what you have. By writing a story about it or simply recalling and telling the story at a family gathering keeps the memory alive and enjoyable.
History to share:Â When it comes to really old photos, memorabilia or unique collections, you might want to keep the history alive by donating to the historical society or specific organization that will preserve and share them long into the future.
Any of these suggestions can apply to your situation. They are simple and fit right into the process. For those looking for more creative ways to preserve the past - and still pare down - creative journaling, scrapbooking, and collage are other options.
The idea is to transform things into experiences - to make the process enjoyable instead of a heavy burden of carrying the past, to make it an opportunity to share with others, or even transform the thing into a creative experience.
Saving too much stuff and having it fill your space can drag you down. Devote your energies to living in the present while still enjoying the past.
