Lesson 20: Wearing or Weary-ing?

Today I am to reflect on clothes that don’t fit or feel good anymore. Basically this is the stuck energy we keep that clutters our lives. I am to release one thing today that is not part of my lighter self. The problem is, I only just recently did this on Wednesday night. I had 6 full garbage bags of clothes and shoes that I placed downstairs for charity collection. On top of this, I gave a bag of jewellery to my friends daughter. I do not want to release anything more as I have already gone through my clothes and shoes and got it down to a point that is manageable. The idea for me now is that I want to live a minimalist life and wear down those clothes until they are not useable anymore. There may come a time when I realise that I still not have worn a lot of those clothes, but for now, I have tried hard to focus on what I do wear for work and what I wear regularly. I haven’t bought clothes or shoes in over 6 months. I think that’s another achievement I have.

The question that got asked was: “Do you wear your clothes or do they wear you (out)?” Personally, I feel like I am wearing my current set of decluttered clothes. We shouldn’t keep clothes around that make us not feel 100%. We shouldn’t keep onto things that do not fit, clothes we’ve never worn or if we just don’t simply love them. Right now, I feel like I love the set of clothes I have. Me bringing those garbage bags down for charity was my form of release. I don’t feel like I need to do a release today as I have achieved a more lighter self.
