Today's
happiness tip follows on from yesterday's when I wrote about
simplifying life. Today's tip is consider decluttering your life if you haven't already done so.
The
term declutter was first recorded in the mid twentieth century but I
don't recall hearing it until the current century. When I got married
in the nineteen seventies I was much too busy acquiring and
accumulating things for my new home to think of the possibility of
ever having too much stuff! However, a time did come when I decided I
had too many things and needed to part with some. It has been an ongoing process for me.
Some
people believe more money and more things result in more happiness.
Yes, some possessions bring a level of happiness and there are
belongings that are very special to each of us, things we wouldn't
want to be without. However, accumulating more and more can end up
being overwhelming. Many people find they are happier when they part
with items that aren't important to them. Sometimes these are things
that were once important but aren't any longer and other times they
never were special.
The ideal amount of possessions for one person will be different from the amount that suits someone else. It is a very personal matter.
