I GOT RID OF IT ALL I Decluttering my life, selling home & finding freedom

I decluttered 90% after 25 years of an abusive marriage and a divorce (with three children). It was one of the hardest things I’ve ever done, but so freeing and truly helped me start a new chapter. Life is good 8 years later!

Your video somehow teared me up. There’s something bittersweet of letting go of the past and stepping into unknown. It’s always a little bit scary and shaky, yet I really believe that by releasing the past, we make room for the future ❤. Such an honest and beautiful video, thank you for sharing. I’m really excited about your new chapter 🫶🏼.

Letting go is a lifelong process if we continue to grow and change. I finally found my forever home at when I was 69. It is 10yrs later and I am still happy here, but still letting go as I change and find myself able to let go of things or people that I was not able to before.

1 month tomorrow, I sold my home, decluttered and moved! I have a lot more to let go of...thank you for this, I needed it. it lets me know, everything will be ok....

I always felt if I got rid of something someone gifted me I was throwing part of them away ! I held onto so much for that very reason . Wasn't until the height of covid I went thru closets I gathered 13 ,33 gallon bags of clothes . I worked in pharmacy for 27 years had so many many dress cloths had 51 blazers how awful to have that many ,shoes,coats,jackets dresses ,sweaters ,blouses, skirts etc etc some with tags still on.I called the Mission House, the director came to my porch we were masked up & I helped her carry all that in her truck. She looked at me thru tears & said ,"you are going to cloth a lot of people '. That was better than the money I could have gotten for the clothing . ( at the Mission House people get the clothes for free) That very day I gathered household items up. After stores opened up I went to a second hand store in a small community & donated my items,I chose that one ,because all the money made was then given to the community house for the children for camping trips, parties , games etc etc. Many people pass thru this small community to get to a major State Park with 21 waterfalls in the area. I no longer hang on to 'THINGS " I am FREE ! Have a lovely day !

Sometimes it not the FEAR of what lies ahead or what we’re leaving behind that keeps us stuck…..it’s the fear of facing our regret for not having done it sooner.

I finally had clarity one day & was able to declutter the last of my "precious" mementos/memories. It took me 5 out of my 9 years of being homeless. Well, actually, I'm recently housed, but still have that PTSD, fight or flight sense over me. I still feel homeless & unable to let my guard down. I remember having one day of clarity when I had encountered one more "mountain" to climb. I looked around and thought to myself why do I have all this junk of a past life. It's been 9, going on 10 years - "they" are never coming to "rescue" me. So, upon that realization and acceptance, I finally was able to toss out old memories - literally & figuratively.🤷

so beautiful! I can resonate with what you are experiencing here- I have changed course so many times in my life (currently 65 and another major upheaval and change happened 2 years ago). When I would make these changes when I was younger, I got a lot of negative responses from my family- they labeled me as picky, selfish, unable to sustain a job for a long period, unable to "settle down" and many more things. What they never got, and still haven't is that I was seeking not settling. I was letting my soul guide the way. Now I realize that so many are so stuck in fear that they can't try new things, so their fear becomes criticism and labeling their love ones as "broken" or "different" and that's their load to bare, not mine. Thank you so much for sharing this! Makes me feel good to know other people are brave like me. ✨

I’m in this process right now…declutterring, preparing my home for sale, deciding where I will go next….at 65 yo. It’s a lot of work right now, but I know I will open space, inside and out, for something so much better to come.

At 76 I have done this quite a lot of times. It is freeing and let’s you make room for new hobbies and ideas to try. Life is full of uncertainties and changes but this is all part of life. Thank you for your video, it was very honest, some tears and some smiles.❤

I know the feeling all too well, in the past 11 years I have moved 7 times and it never gets easier but like you, I have decluttered and am moving on. Wishin you the best of luck on your new adventures.

I am very lucky to have these decluttering videos to watch before my husband, my two-year-old daughter, and I transferred to our forever home. Watching these videos helped us transition to the new chapter of our life. Decluttering and letting go were not as painful as they would have been had I not learned from people who experienced them before me. I am very grateful to all the people who shared their lives and somehow showed us the way. From Mindanao, Philippines, daghang salamat sa inyo!

Happy to have found your channel and looking forward to learning, being part of your journey and watching the channel grow. A good friend has just gone through a similar and I am somewhat envious of the lightness and freedom she is feeling.

I’m excited to see where you go! I like how you put it as old energy that you are decluttering! Very touching and inspiring video!

Well done for going after your dreams, letting go and pursuing the new version of you, Karin!!! I also found those little treasures between my books. Now I use them as bookmarks 🥰❤

While reading through the comments, the word ‘metamorphosis’ came to mind. Is this what we are sensing at the moment? Breakthrough and the spreading of our wings? Thank you for sharing, Karin! 🌺
