Day 3/30 of Learning to Let Go

As promised, a picture of another cluttered spot. Hopefully at the end of the 30 days I’ll have a place for everything on there or it will have left the house for good!

I have to be honest, three items was a little harder than two! I was tempted to dive into the books but decided to save them for when I’m really struggling.

Earlier today I remembered about a pair of really soft pants I gave away earlier in the year – I let them go because they didn’t fit well since I had gained some weight which I assumed would stick with me because I was getting older.

Well, as it happens when I give something away, I eventually feel like I “need” it. Those pants would fit me now – and I was sad I didn’t have them anymore.

My first thought was “See, this always happens!” When I got really real about them – thinking about how often I wore them and how comfortable they were I remembered I usually only wore them a couple times a year and they were never really super comfortable.

It didn’t take long to feel okay with having let them go already. This will be a conversation I have with myself quite regularly I think
