I believe involving loved ones can help. 😊 They may offer perspective or share the sentiment, making it easier to let go.

Hey there! It's tough to say goodbye to sentimental items, especially when they're tied to cherished memories. But trust me, you're not alone in this struggle! One strategy that's helped me is to take it slow and steady. Start small by tackling one area at a time, like a closet or a shelf. Sort through your items and ask yourself, "Does this item truly bring me joy or serve a purpose in my life right now?" If the answer is yes, then by all means, keep it! But if you find yourself hesitating or feeling guilty about letting something go, try taking a photo of it instead. That way, you can still hold onto the memory without holding onto the physical clutter.
