In this follow-up article, I will discuss the emotional impact of choosing to live a minimalist lifestyle and how decluttering can affect us emotionally.

Minimalism is a lifestyle choice that emphasizes simplicity, and it can be a powerful tool for reducing stress and increasing emotional well-being. The act of decluttering, or getting rid of excess possessions, is often the first step towards a more minimalist lifestyle. But what is it like to declutter, and how does it affect our emotions?

For many people, decluttering can be a difficult and emotional process. We often have sentimental attachments to our possessions, and letting go of them can feel like losing a part of ourselves. It can be hard to let go of items that we’ve had for a long time, or that hold memories or sentimental value. Additionally, it can be challenging to part with items that we’ve spent a lot of money on, or that we think we might need in the future.
