There is a good chance the things that surround you are there because you personally brought them into your life. The act of asking “Why is [insert everything around you] here?” Is the first step to helps ourselves understand if we need it or not.

Move on and indulge in the freedom of letting go! Take this advice with a grain a salt though. Just because you don’t like cleaning your place doesn’t mean I’m saying to donate your vacuum. 

Instead take a look at your closet, your bathroom medicine cabinet and the notorious “junk drawer.” This is where most people hide the things that we do not need. After personal reflection, I noticed I collect things that I’ll need at some point in the future … maybe.

When the topic of "having less stuff makes life easier" pops up in conversation many people get confused on where their stuff should end up. Obviously donating or recycling is the best method in terms of getting more life out of something you no longer need. These are your first steps toward a minimalist lifestyle. 

Habitat for Humanity accepts almost all home good donations no matter the condition, find a Habitat for Humanity: ReStore location near you. 1-800-Got Junk is another great nationwide resource for larger items. 

Lastly, searching the internet with “sanitation and recycling (your location)” will provide a list of local options to dispose of your things in an environmentally-friendly way.

After you’ve purged your life from the things that have no use to you do not go out and fill that void with newer "stuff." 

Anyone who has started a new workout routine or gave the latest juice cleanse a try knows what I am talking about here – keeping up the hard work can be a struggle. Once you’ve asked why and actually took the steps towards making life easier, the most important thing is to follow through.

Conclusion:
