Declutter to Relieve Stress

Clutter is a common side effect in our current consumer culture.  We constantly buy more, get more and keep more.  We always want more, but very rarely do we get rid of more in order to get more.  In fact, most of us keep our acquisitions hoping they will continue to give us the same joy they did in the beginning.  Then as our tastes change or our things have overstayed their welcome, we refuse to let them go and eventually put them into storage, or the garage to keep them for a later date when we hope they’ll become useful again.  I’m guilty of this as are many of the people I talk to on a daily basis.
