[quote=Anonymous]This sounds totally hokey and ridiculous, I know - but I used to have this problem until I started thanking each item as I let it go. Literally taking a moment to appreciate the item and then thinking/saying "thank you for your service" when I put something in the donate pile. I got this idea from KonMari - I think the exact line in the book is something like "not every item was meant to stay with you forever, and that's okay. Thank each item for its presence in your life and let it go." I think the idea is that when something/someone leaves your life, you say goodbye - and there's no reason to skip this step when culling possessions. For some reason, thinking about it this way gave me the sense of closure I needed to give nice things away. Haven't had a problem since. That said, I promise I'm not a new-age devotee or anything like that! Just someone who gets attached to things :)[/quote]
