Good Morning,
Are you one of these? There are lots of choices these days, or should I say "labels". Unfortunately I'm all four of them. I never thought about being a hoarder until I started watching the two TV shows about hoarding. Don't much like using it but it's definitely what I am. And yes, I'm also "messy", a "clutterer" and a "collector". Guilty on all counts! Bottom line - doesn't matter much what name I put on my behavior, my house is still a mess. I'll admit to one thing I'm not too proud of - when I'm watching the shows on TV I often catch myself thinking, "Well, at least I'm not that bad". Like that makes my any better, which it doesn't. They are all where I am now and if I don't deal with my stuff now, I will be where they ended up.
I also wonder if I'd have the courage to let TV cameras come into my home? Euuhhhh, I really can't imagine that. Those people are brave! I took a bunch of "before" pictures of my bedroom and I still haven't decided if I want to share them now or wait till I have the "after" pictures to offset them. (Until I find my camera cable it's a moot point - lol!)
A word about clothes ... I have a hard time letting go of them and I'm talking about tee shirts and casual wear.(At the moment I can't even get to my closet so I'll deal with my work clothes when I get to it!) I've started a bin that I put the items that I'm going to give to a womens shelter. For some reason, it's easier for me to "let go" to a specific cause vs just a donation drop off box. I know there will be more discussions about clothes. Basically now I'm just looking for what I can toss out and don't have to make any major decisions about.
Just 15 minutes a day is making a difference,
Karen
and it's getting better. I've decided to admit, after much deliberation and prayers, I'm a hoarder. I'm committing to spend (at least) 15 minutes every day letting go of all the stuff I don't need anymore! Come with me on my journey to clean my house and change my life.
