May deciltering is the perfect opportunity to refresh the house and mind. Eliminating the superfluous can lighten space and even thoughts. But where to really start?
In a month that marks the transition between spring and summer, getting rid of disorder becomes almost a natural need. The light changes, the days stretch and with them there is also a certain desire for renewal. It is not just a matter of seasonal cleaning: it is precisely a matter of choosing what still deserves space in one’s life and what, however, can safely be left to go. It often happens to postpone, saying “I will think about it tomorrow”. But tomorrow never comes. And so we find ourselves with boxes full of “you never know”, forgotten objects that no longer speak. Better to start now, starting from what is no longer needed and will not miss anyone.
Interesting as you think that throwing it is equivalent to losing something. In reality, it is the exact opposite: there is room for what really matters. You earn lightness, order, time. And maybe even a little good humor. Here is a small guide to start on the right foot, starting from 10 things you can eliminate without the slightest regret.
May Decluttering: the chaos drawer and everything you don’t need most
That area of the house that every time swears to fix “tomorrow”. It is usually a drawer, but it can also be a box or a corner of the closet. Inside you find everything: old batteries, toys, unknown cables, flying sheets, pens finished for years. It is believed that they “can serve” sooner or later, but most of the time they remain there for years. The advice? Take everything, completely empty and make a quick sorting: if it has not been used in the last six months (and it is not known what is used for), it is better to say goodbye.
This small gesture free physical space, but also mental. It is no coincidence that minimalism is associated with greater serenity. Each less object is one less thought.
10 items to throw immediately: more space and less stress
Here is a list of objects that can be deleted without thinking twice. It takes little to lighten any environment:
Many of these objects hide in plain sight, others have ended up at the bottom of a wardrobe for months. It is curious how you can get used to disorder, you almost don’t see it anymore. Still, everything superfluous occupies precious space.
Eliminating is not just a practical gesture: it can also become a liberating act. The beauty is that you don’t need to do everything together. You can start from a single category and you will already notice the difference:
- Ruined or that are no longer good clothes: If you haven’t worn them for over a year, they will hardly return useful.
- Expired cosmetics: creams, tricks, dry enamels. They are useless and potentially irritating.
- Unnecessary paper: old bills, discontrinters disconnected, expired advertisements. Digital is better.
- Spaziati socks: how many are preserved in the hope that the twin appears? Better to let them go.
- Books that will never reread: it can be given to those who really appreciate them.
- Empty or damaged boxes: from electronic, cosmetics or Christmas gifts.
- Gifts never used: If they were closed for months, maybe they don’t really do.
- Seasonal decorations ruined: it’s time to say goodbye to dusty garlands or lightning lights.
- Unused kitchen accessories: duplicates, never used utensils, pissed cups.
- Explated notebooks or agendas: they occupy space and have lost their function.
A small revolution made of simple choices, which not only free space, but also energy.
Emotional Decluttering: it is not just a matter of objects
Often it is underestimated how much the physical disorder is connected to the mental one. Accumulating can become a way to postpone decisions or to keep a past that no longer needs. The emotional declutteringon the other hand, helps recognize what weighs and to lighten.
Keeping an object only out of habit, sense of guilt or nostalgia is not a good reason to keep it. Better to ask: this object makes me happy? Does it still represent me? If the answer is no, maybe the time has come to greet him.
It is no coincidence that those who regularly practice decluttering reports a sense of widespread lightness. It is not a question of emptying everything, but of keeping only what has value Now.
Refreshes the mind by freeing the space
May is the perfect time to put in order, without stress and without unnecessary attachments. Starting with small things, from objects that are no longer needed, can make a difference. Each choice of this type helps to live better, with more awareness and less dimensions.
So why wait?
Il May Decluttering It can turn into a regenerating practice, even if only starting from a drawer. The rest will come by itself.
