Looking after ourselves

Re: The magic of tidying

Sorry @EternalFlower  I wasn't trying to panic you . Was my opinion on things thats all

Re: The magic of tidying

I would add a clear path to walk inside house oh and clothes not smelly and shower at least once most days Actually makes me feel so much better after shower. @Dimity Not really sure why 

Re: The magic of tidying

That's OK @TAB 

Thanks @Dimity for understanding.

I want to not hide and be honest, I am living in extreme mess, almost unliveable. And I don't have much stuff, I just can't manage it on my own for some reason.

 

Low energy etc.

 

I have the no pathway floor thing @TAB 0/10 stars don't recommend it.

Re: The magic of tidying

I first started doing this like 30 years ago . Literally everything I owned in world spread out over the floor. I would only notice it when other people saw it. @EternalFlower 

maybe start with a few things , throwing out something you don't need or clearing a path at least. You Will feel better 

Re: The magic of tidying

Hi TAB I like the way u describe it. 

It's my floor and every surface. Like on my dining chairs there's clothes and towels.

I have this https://www.kmart.com.au/product/rattan-cabinet-42893677/?selectedSwatch=&size= and am trying to figure out what to use it for?

Would love any suggestions @TAB @Dimity @Sophia1 @Shaz51 @RedHorse 

 

I feel good when I throw stuff out, I sorted my books and am so proud and happy.

But it's the next Kondo category, "komono" that's too much.

 

Re: The magic of tidying

Maybe its for clothes re holes in doors @EternalFlower  ? 

Re: The magic of tidying

Maybe CDs or DVDs @EternalFlower ? Or folded towels? 

Re: The magic of tidying

Thank u @Dimity @TAB I appreciate u!!!

 

Re: The magic of tidying

Hi all, thanks for the awesome tips.

I have been sorting through clothes and found I have a lot that don't fit, and we're not quite right.

I find giving stuff away mindfully helps me a lot.

But other times I have less energy and put stuff on the side of the road or throw away 

Re: The magic of tidying

That sounds good @EternalFlower .

We've got our annual hard rubbish collection next week so I'll be able to put out a few things.

I've been slowly working through a box of old receipts and guarantees. I can add shredded paper to the green bin (non-personal stuff I put in recycling). I just picked up another 4 boxes from storage - more stuff to sort and cull.
