Be aware of the tendency to keep things out of obligation. I’ve done it myself, and I know it happens to all of us at one time or another. It’s easy to feel like we need to keep something that someone else gave us. But, if we can truly remember this: People are not the things they own, and they are not the things they give us. Let me say it another way, your relationship with a person is not based on what they’ve given you.
If someone gives you something, then the TRUE gift is that they thought of you, and they wanted to bless you. But, keeping something you don’t use, or don’t love simply because “she/he gave it to me” is going to burden you with things that take up space, and may keep you from living clutter free and organized. Your love for a person is not based on your keeping something they gave you. It’s so important for us to realize why we are keeping the things we are, and give ourselves the freedom and grace to let go of something that’s not serving us. Let it “live it’s best life” elsewhere! There is probably someone who would love to own what you have and aren’t using, and sometimes, it’s time to move on 😉
Cheering you on with GRACE!
