Threw away all things. Why you need to get rid of old things and how to do it

Minimalism is a special way of life. It implies not only the absence of unnecessary things, it also creates conditions for getting rid of unnecessary clothes. And the last thing is very important: the unwillingness or inability to part with old clothes clutter up the living space more than constant purchases. Each thing has its own active life, and it is important not to miss when it expires.

How to part with unnecessary things correctly? How to get rid of junk that takes up space but will never serve its intended purpose? I have my own algorithm.

Step 1. Winter or summer?

Initially, all things in the house are divided into two large groups:

"Summer",
"Winter".

In summer I work with the first, in winter, respectively, with the second. This is important, because in the heat it is difficult for me to appreciate the relevance, warmth and quality of a sweater, and in a terrible frost it is sometimes impossible to understand the beauty of a sundress. Therefore, we are subjecting to critical analysis here and now the clothes that are about to begin to be worn, because the season is conducive to this.

Step 2. Ideal or not?

Things for the season are divided into three groups:

1. Ideal.
They are up-to-date, they match personal style, they fit perfectly, they are of high quality.

2. Good ones, but...
They are generally good, but something is wrong with them. Wrong length, wrong volume, wrong parameters. They can be a little full, a little outdated, squeeze the stomach, gather on the back.

2. Bad.
They went out of fashion, lost quality, stretched out, faded from washing. They may be loved, but a critical eye is unmistakable: these clothes have lost their original charm.

Step 3. Throw away or keep?

Three groups lie in front of you (you can even dump them inaccurately). And here everything is easy:

Ideal things remain in the closet and are actively worn,
Things "Good, but ..." are transformed - they can be altered, cut, changed with accessories (for example, belts). If there is no desire or ability to do something with them, you will have to part.
Bad things are thrown away without regret. This is exactly the kind of clothes that will never be worn.

A little more about the "bad" things

Have recovered - you can return to your previous figure, but you are unlikely to want to return to your old wardrobe, which has lost its relevance during the “downtime”;
Have lost weight - your favorite things turn into shapeless bags, and you can wear them with a belt, but it will just be ugly;
They changed the style - you can’t make your favorite midi skirt a mini just by rolling it up at the waist;
Growing up is especially important: 5 years ago, idiotic glasses, creepy plush platform sandals and infantile denim overalls looked fresh on you, but today, alas, these are the same things from the past as rompers. They just don't suit you.

How to throw away?

There is just a sweater in spools, and you can put it on rags. But there is also a skirt bought for the first salary. There is a sundress in which you met your love. There is a lucky dress in which the driving test was passed (from the second time!). How to throw them away? How to put them in the trash can?

Therefore, I do not suggest throwing clothes away or simply ruining them (for example, sewing a car cover out of a coat that will be as frankly scary as the coat itself). To me, this is vandalism.

Clothes go out of our lives like this:

Given to friends or sold - the best things that have retained quality and can attract someone else,
Changes - you can exchange things with friends or other like-minded people, which will allow you to refresh your wardrobe for free,
Changed - for those who know how to do it, or know whom to ask,
Given to those in need (there are a lot of such families, if you set a goal, you can easily find someone who will be happy to wear your old jeans),
Given to those who can make something special out of it.

The last one is very interesting. There are companies that make bags out of old leather jackets. There are also craftsmen who sew old denim items into bags. And finally, there are families (there are not many of them) who make beautiful toys or accessories out of old clothes. I sent a whole package of my things to one such family, and I admire what they turned into. And most importantly, things did not disappear, they simply transformed.

Giving away clothes is easy and pleasant if it allows you to extend its life - just not in your closet and not in your house dust anymore. And most importantly - things sold or given away free up space and give a wide scope for choosing a new one. When only the clothes you like are left in the closet, it is very easy to determine what is still missing and buy exactly that.

A minimal wardrobe is a little creativity. You create not just your own set of clothes. And not even my own style. You create a living space whose details delight you, because they simply cannot be boring. Oh no,

minimalism is very inspiring and interesting!

Why? More on that next time.

In the meantime, what's your idea? Do you agree? Did you have to throw things away?

Is there at least one Russian family in whose bins there will be no old furniture, stacks of Soviet magazines tied with ropes, old shoes “for summer cottages” and other things that require urgent evacuation to the trash heap? Probably not. We are all Plyushkins in some way, and on every balcony, in the pantry, on mezzanines and cabinets, “sources of mites, allergens, mold and moths” have been stored for decades.

Do I need to get rid of junk, and how to do it wisely?

Why do you need to get rid of old things?

Old things litter the space in the house and prevent not only the free circulation of clean air, but also (according to Feng Shui) qi (life) energy. You can relate to the very philosophy of Feng Shui in different ways, but you cannot deny the negative impact of junk in the house on the health of the household. Old things bring us old energy, dust, mites, etc., responding with poor health, laziness, apathy, and as a result - negative thoughts and projecting them onto your life.
If you want to change anything in your life, start small. There will be no order in life and in your head if there is no order in your house. Any change is good. And as a rule, just getting rid of the trash in the apartment, you begin to feel changes for the better.
Old things in the house and attachment to them is programming yourself for poverty. We say to ourselves: “What if I throw this sofa away now, but I can’t buy a new one?”, Projecting our pessimism on our well-being in advance.
According to a Chinese proverb, the new will not appear in life until the old is gone. Rubbish and junk is the main obstacle in the way of vital energy. That is, until you make room for the "new", you will have to live with the "old" (with all the ensuing consequences).
The most negative energy accumulates in those corners of the apartment where old things have been lying for years. , and where the hands of the owners do not reach. Old out-of-fashion boots with worn-out heels, boxes with old dishes, skis and skates from childhood, and especially chipped cups, worn-out clothes, broken radios and other things that “it’s a pity to throw away” are a source of negative energy. Cleansing our home from such energy, from rubbish, we open the doors to happiness, abundance and harmony.
Of course, throwing away family jewels and antiques from your own great-grandmothers does not make sense. But if these items cause you unpleasant emotions or memories, you also need to get rid of them (give away, sell, hand over to the salon, etc.). Any old thing is a powerful energy. If you are not sure of its origin and positive history, you should not keep such a thing at home.
A fact established by experts: old, superfluous things in the house negatively affect the psyche of household members . Getting rid of rubbish is tantamount to an effective "psychotherapy" that helps relieve tension and protect against depression.
Carpets are warm, soft and beautiful. We will not argue. But old carpets in the house (and new ones too) are a source of dust, mites, etc. There are few people who regularly dry-clean carpets, and home cleaning (even the most thorough) does not clean the carpet base 100 percent. What can we say about the walls hung with Soviet carpets - the toxins of modern cities are absorbed into them for years. Get rid of dust collectors! To make it warm, soft and beautiful, today there are underfloor heating, cork floors and other non-hazardous coatings.
Old books. Well, of course it's a pity. Stacks of magazines, science fiction, newspapers, books accumulated over decades, which were once "a day with fire", and indeed "it is a sin to throw away books." But! "Library" dust is the strongest allergen, the quality of paper leaves much to be desired, cheap paints and the content of lead in them (in newspapers, magazines) is a poison for the body. If the house does not have a safe, separate place to store such things, take them to the country, give them away or rent them to old book stores.
If you have allergies and asthma in your family getting rid of old things is your primary task.

"Sentimental" thing in memory of the past - this is understandable and understandable. A statuette in memory of a grandmother, an old coffee table or a sugar bowl are things that we attach special importance to. Well, do not part with them - and that's it.

But when these memorable “sentimental” things begin to surround you from all sides, fill pantries and suitcases, crawl across the kitchen shelves and cabinets, interfering with your desires to “live your own way” (many people know the feeling of guilt - they say, throwing away a box of “Grandma herself”) means It's time to change something in your mind and in life.

Learning to get rid of junk with benefit

We sort out the shelves with books. Those books that have any value (old, just dear to the heart), we leave. We sort the rest based on the situation: we transfer children's books, science fiction, detective stories and other readable literature to libraries, we sell books from the Soviet era or rent them out for sale (today there are many opportunities for such a "maneuver" and lovers of the old book), cookbooks from the category of "take meat for 2 rubles ... "we give it away or boldly put it in a box near the garbage heap.
Family archive. Well, what mother will raise her hand to throw away old drawings, letters, manuscripts and notes of a child? Preserving such a legacy (for future generations) is not difficult - it is enough to modernize the archive by digitizing all commemorative papers and drawings. The same can be done with boxes of "ancient" video cassettes on which weddings, birthdays and just memorable events are captured - digitize and free up space.
Old furniture. There are not so many options: post ads for sale on the Internet, take them to the country, give them to those in need, renew them in a workshop or on their own and give an old chair (for example) a new life.
Before throwing an item in the trash, ask about its value. Perhaps this chest of drawers from your grandmother will bring you money for a new refrigerator, and in the stockbook with old stamps there will be rare “papers with native glue”, which collectors have been chasing for many years.
Buy new things only after getting rid of the old ones. No need to store a dozen new sets of bedding in the closet if you still have two dozen old ones in there. Or buying a new refrigerator when you have a whole maze of old ones in your hallway.
Fold all things from the mezzanine (from the closet, from the pantry) into one pile and sort into “you can’t do without it”, “useful”, “well, why do I need this” and “urgently in the trash”. Get rid of unnecessary junk without hesitation - discipline yourself.
Lots of old clothes , which has long gone out of fashion, has become large / small, slightly rubbed, has defects? Wash it, iron it, eliminate defects and take it to a commission shop (second-hand, Internet flea market, etc.). Still, the money was spent, and it's stupid to just throw away things that are still capable of serving someone, and which can still bring a pretty penny.

Today we are sorting through clothes and accessories. We read why it is beneficial for us to get rid of trash in the closet, how to understand that it is time to say goodbye to a thing, and also learn to prevent the appearance of unnecessary clothes and jewelry.

Over the years of conscious life, my style has undergone many changes. At school, I went from an informal girl in a Metallica hoodie (at the same time, apart from ballads, I didn’t listen to anything from them) to a girl in wide rapper pants (although I don’t remember that I was fond of rap). Later, there were university years of endless search for style, and finally, with my eyes closed, I can get 2 things out of my closet with 90 percent certainty that they match.

I, like many, tend to spontaneous purchases, storing accessories and jewelry that are waiting in line in a box, hoarding in terms of bags and shoes. But honestly, once a year I try to get rid of obsolete things and do not succumb to the provocation of one-time fashion. I realized what a classic is, and it’s not so easy to buy me on the trends of the season, unless they are very successful and long-term trends.

Old things require special treatment. Some things cannot be stored in the house, others are strictly forbidden to be thrown away. What is the best way to get rid of old clothes so as not to harm yourself?

When we wear clothes, they absorb information about us. Therefore, before getting rid of old jackets and raincoats, you need to follow special rules.

Caps, hats, berets are the most “receptive” wardrobe items, as they are directly related to our head and our thoughts. It is not recommended to throw them away, it is better to put them in one box and put them in a secluded place. If this is not possible, then burn them, saying 7 times, looking at the flame: "Burn in the fire, take everything with you."

Before getting rid of clothes, be sure to wash them to remove your energy from them. Before washing, say to the water 3 times:

“Voditsa - sister, wash it off, rinse the spirit of the servant of God (the name of the owner of the things) from these things, let him stay with me, and from now on they will be clean and nobody’s.”

The psychic told readers about the dangers posed by old things in the house. It turns out that old items negatively affect the energy of the house, and also attract bad luck.

What are the dangers of old things in the house

There is the Law of Abundance, which says the following: in order for the new to come, you need to get rid of the old. The psychic explains this law by saying that the Universe will not find a place for new things and blessings if your house is cluttered with old things.

Remember your thoughts when, for example, you look at your closet with old clothes that you either don’t wear or you just feel sorry for throwing them away. Recall your thoughts when you look at an old car or a worn sofa. Usually in such cases, people think like this: “What if I don’t have money to buy a new sofa (dress, car, etc.)?”

These thoughts lead to...

One of the basic rules of feng shui is to get rid of old rubbish in time, because it is it that energetically clogs the surrounding subtle energies and prevents the new from coming into your life.

For example, when your shoes are worn out to holes, but there are no others, then by will not by will, you get rid of the old ones and buy new ones. But if the old ones are only slightly thin, then you are sorry to spend money, although you have long wanted something fresh and new.

Our problem is that we are sorry to get rid of the old, even if it no longer has any practical value for us.

It is not necessary to get rid of old things immediately and free up new space. But why not throw away the skis gathering dust under the bed? Or not to sort out your wardrobe, where you need to pay close attention to such things as women's panties, dresses, tights, socks?

Do you suffer from loneliness, do you always have some problems, are you constantly haunted by failures? Feng Shui masters advise: free your home from old and unnecessary things - and your troubles will end.

According to the wise Feng Shui teaching, the well-being of the inhabitants of the house is directly related to the circulation of the beneficial energy of qi: moving freely around the rooms, “looking” into all its corners, it saturates the home with vitality, giving the owners health, prosperity, good luck and family happiness. If the house is cluttered, the qi energy is not able to not only circulate - it cannot even penetrate into it!

Why can't you take out the trash in the evening and

This sign is rooted in the distant past, but nevertheless it is popular today even among those who consider themselves a materialist. But still, whether you believe in signs or not, it is better not to take out the garbage from the house after sunset.

Why can't you take out the trash in the evening?

1. So that money does not stop flowing
All Feng Shui masters recommend taking out the garbage only before sunset. And they associate it with prosperity in the house.
The fact is that the energies of day and night have polar meanings - yang and yin. Taking out the trash at night, we touch the Yin energy, which in itself is a state of peace, silence, decline. But the garbage itself is the Yang remains from the master's table. Thus, the energies enter into dissonance, disrupting the natural course of qi.
The night has its own tasks, and this is not taking out the trash.

In the course of life, each of us acquires not only great life experience, but also a whole bunch of things that eventually become simply not needed. What is an unnecessary thing - it's not just rubbish that you shift from place to place, each time giving yourself a promise to throw it away, but for some reason you put off this moment. An unnecessary thing - in general, this is negative energy in your home, which leaves an imprint on your condition, relationships, atmosphere. An unnecessary thing is also the energy of stagnation, filling your space, it does not allow something new to enter your house, change your life for the better, and therefore you need to get rid of old things.

But do not rush to throw away unnecessary things in the trash, because what is no longer of any value to you can be very important for someone else - give, donate or sell for a symbolic price what you want to get rid of. Nowadays, you don't even have to put up an ad that you want...

If you know for sure that you will never need an old children's bike, a broken stroller and a huge amount of things that have long gone out of fashion, and you don’t dare to throw them away even when moving from an apartment, then consider another option: give them to people who need. The main thing is to free up space in the house from things that you will never use. After all, if the apartment is cluttered, then the useful qi energy simply cannot penetrate it, not to mention the fact that it must circulate around the house!

Do not turn your favorite apartment into a warehouse for unnecessary things. Just do not shift things from closets to utility rooms. If the balcony compartment or pantry is clogged with rubbish, then the path for qi energy will be blocked. It turns out that you will not see any prosperity or good ...

How to get rid of unnecessary things?

Each of us knows how difficult it is throw things away, even those that we no longer need. It can be anything, from outdated clothes to toys for children who have grown up a long time ago. But if you do not get rid of all this rubbish, there will be no place in the house for the owners themselves.

1. Make it a rule do not buy a new thing until the old one is thrown away. So, if you, for example, are going to the store for a brand new jumper and dress, take your time. To get started, open your closet and sort through the things you no longer need. Now get rid of them. If your heart aches and you really don’t want to throw things away, don’t throw them away.

Once upon a time, shoes and clothes were not thrown away at all. They were given to poor people to wear, it was considered quite acceptable.

Old things
What to do so that they do not destroy a new family

Yesterday, my daughter brought me another bag of unnecessary things, so that I, as usual, handed them out to friends and relatives. And I, as usual, decided to conduct an audit before distribution. And sunk into one T-shirt, almost new and very bright. Why give it away? I will wear it myself. If not on vacation somewhere on the sea, then in the country. The main thing is that the T-shirt does not catch the eyes of the daughter. She really doesn't like it when I leave something to myself.

And interfere with life
and throw away

Not to say that I hold on to old things, but sometimes the toad chokes. On the one hand, I understand: they have a place on the balcony, cottage or landfill. But it's a shame to throw it away. Will they come in handy? If I give it back, then I will think - I could have slandered more!

it's not dangerous what you look at, it's dangerous what you're afraid of) when you look at something with fear, then you "drain energy into it." fear is like a hole in the reservoir of your possibilities, and a person pierces this hole himself, only himself - from the inside. succumbs to provocation - and makes holes in himself, and any infection rushes into an open wound with a drill. Look at your relatives, if you loved them, with love, and therefore there is no damage, but one continuous good both for you and their souls. And photos of unknown people can inspire fear, hence the advice - burn it (topikstarter is obviously afraid).

I myself encountered this - now it's some kind of problem. Firstly, they don’t accept toys (it’s a pity to throw them away), because of the expiration date (3 years), I probably had a package of 2 of these toys, in the end I took them to the neighboring yard at night and a note that the toys are normal, take whoever wants , but I don't need them anymore. I don't wear. But it is best to contact local social centers that provide assistance to the needy (I have a friend who works in such a place, and I donate through her: shoes, clothes, bags). But I also had one more problem: a bunch of notebooks with an oblique ruler (so many that it’s enough to study until the 3rd grade, all sorts of pencils - in general, all such rubbish) I also put them in bags and in the same yard and also with a note, but the bag I took a completely transparent one so that people would not be afraid to look. If they still don't get it. so thrown out - and my conscience is clear and there is more space in the apartment ....

1. Get rid of everything that pulls you back into the past.

2. Things that are not worn and not used in everyday life die. Therefore, they carry information about death.

3. If your house is a mess when you leave it, then you tend to take with you to the outside world the idea that your feelings or your life are in the same mess. All this is in your subconscious, and although it seems to you that you behave completely independently of the situation at home, in your appearance, body language or demeanor, there is bound to be some aspect that betrays the actual state of things. Other people will receive these “messages; (also mostly unconsciously) and react accordingly to your behavior, so harmony in the home leads to a more harmonious and hasty relationship with the outside world.

4. Nothing new and valuable will come into our life until there is no free space in it.
You cannot create something new without completely getting rid of everything old.

5. The criterion in the selection of the unnecessary is one. If a thing is not useful within a year or two, it will never be needed again.

6. There is a great healing power in freeing the house from unnecessary things. By clearing at the external level, we make internal changes possible, releasing a huge amount of energy for this.

7. Having blockages keeps you in the past. When all the space in your house is cluttered, you simply don't have room for something new to appear in your life. Clearing rubble will allow you to move forward. You must free yourself from the past in order to create a better tomorrow.

8. Old, unnecessary things, junk - these are real energy eaters. If you do not dare to part with them, they, gradually accumulating, begin to simply eat your own energy, your vitality. Such plushies, cherishing every rusty nail, every old button, every piece of rope, look lifeless, apathetic, unable to enjoy life.

When you remove "obstacles" in the space around you that interfere with the harmonious flow of energy, you thereby bring more harmony into your life, allowing new events to flow into it.

60. When your home is filled with things you love or use often, they energize you. And blockages, on the other hand, have a strong negative effect on you. If there are things in your house that cause you unpleasant associations, they pollute your space and psyche, and it does not matter if their functioning has expired.

Start sorting through the book pile with those books that you bought by accident and which you never used, as well as with such old books that have already begun to collapse in time. Ultimately, you should be left with a set of books that will reflect who you are today the way you want to be tomorrow.

Favorite things give confidence! : favorite things - they sit on you somehow differently, and you behave somehow wrong in them, you feel super and this feeling is transmitted to everyone around you !!!

Here you will see by giving away your old clothes, you will free the way for life-giving energy and thereby remove the "congestion" in your life Feng Shui teaches that everything is interconnected. By the way, according to some observations, rich houses often have much less things than poor ones. But is it really that amazing? No, and if you want to become richer, but don’t know where to start, make room for wealth in your life by removing all the excess that binds you hand and foot.

69. If you want to arrange your personal life, remove portraits of ideal beauties from the walls, with which some of the fair sex love to decorate their homes so much ... According to Feng Shui, many single ladies in your environment do not at all suggest a partnership, with which marriage and is an. So it would be more correct to hang an image of a happy couple on the wall, and then, every time you glance at it, you will subconsciously attract partnership into your life. Suitable, no matter how trite it may sound, just a couple of hearts, kissing doves and other love symbols. Don't believe? And you try, suddenly something really happens, and life will change for the better?

70. Dust, rubbish, piles of unnecessary and forgotten things are sources of accumulation of negative energy that carry the informational charge of the lived, close us from the world and do not allow them to replace new things and ideas.

71. Particular attention should be paid to torn and broken things. Either they need to be repaired immediately, or immediately thrown away. And in no case should they be allowed to lie for a long time until the hands reach them. According to Feng Shui, this is unacceptable, because their negative energy of cumulative destruction involuntarily breaks the internal harmony of the house.

72. Love for trash is a thick hint that you are strongly attached to the past and it slows down the path to a brighter future. Having dealt with old shoes, you can change your hairstyle, job, apartment, etc. Or take a different look at what is. In any case, there will be more space in the corridor.

73. Blockages are the biggest evil imaginable!!! Sometimes only their elimination gives amazing results!!! But we must not just disassemble and rake, but do it purposefully. That is, when raking everything, have a clear mindset why you are doing this. In order for something new to come into our lives, we must get rid of the old. When removing all this, one must say: "I'm taking it all apart in order to come into my life ..." Well, further down the list, what would you like ...

74. I think it worked for me. Indeed, new acquaintances began to appear after buying dolphins. Or is it just a coincidence.

75. Start with something. Let the positive energy flow into your home. And then Qi will work with you for one thing.

76. Cleansing the house can be supported by washing floors, windows, cleaning cabinets from blockages and dust. Since like attracts like, dirty houses that are kept in disarray attract vibrations that disturb us. Even if your house is not kept perfectly clean, it is in order, and you know where everything is. While cleaning the house, imagine how you sweep out the sorrows and worries that have gathered in the house.

77. And "cleaned" things can be safely worn. Over time, they will become "their", loved ones. And even "lucky" - a kind of talismans. We willingly put on such clothes for exams, for important events. You can imagine one of the mechanisms of luck: once we were lucky, and our emotional charge remained on these things. When we put these clothes back on, they will recharge us with exactly THAT energy. Naturally, our mood will improve, tone will increase, we will be energetic, self-confident. And we will again be accompanied by success - "luck". The charge of the "talisman" will increase even more.

78. If your house is not littered with rubbish, extraneous things, then you will get the opportunity to: a) keep your mind clean and tidy, b) allow new opportunities and things to enter your house.

79. And although you may be the only one who sees a cluttered basement or garage, the strength of the energy impact of the room does not decrease: you are the one who is being hit by all the blows. It is you who will be affected first of all by the qi of that room.

80. The more unnecessary things you collect, the movement of qi in an apartment or office becomes slower. So don't be surprised if your life plans don't work out and you feel like something is always getting in the way.

81. Any red thing that you use at work - a red-bound book, red pens or other stationery will have a positive effect. Red, pink and white objects symbolize love and eroticism.

82.You want a home that is bigger. First you must adapt yourself to such a dwelling, creating, as far as possible, a small paradise from your house. Maintain impeccable cleanliness there. Let him look as cute and pleasant as your means allow. Carefully prepare even the simplest food and set the table with as much taste as you can. Ennobling your habitat, you will rise above it, and from there in due time you will enter the best home and habitats that have been waiting for you all this time, and which you have adapted for yourself.

83. The house can and is a point of concentration of magic, strength and spirit.

84. The house is a mirror reflection of ourselves.

85. Our home is a symbolic representation of ourselves and in fact, in a deeper sense, a continuation of ourselves. At home, these are our models. Change this pattern and the energy will change. Tidying the crates changes this model.

86. To get rid of the negative past, get rid of objects in your home that carry the energy of the past into the present. The Zulus burn clothes they get into trouble in to get rid of the emotional imprint left on their clothes. In some cultures, the clothes of the woman in whom she gave birth are burned so that she and the child symbolically enter a new cycle of existence. If there are objects in the house that remind you of something bad or were given to you by a person you do not like, get rid of them.

87. Things in your home should evoke good memories. Otherwise, negative associations will reduce the energy of your home. When you buy something for your home, remember that how you feel when you buy will affect how you feel when the item is in your home. If you are buying something and the seller is rude and you feel annoyed, chances are you will never truly enjoy the item. If the mood when buying is good and joyful, then the associations with this item will be pleasant.

88. If possible, radically change the situation: rearrange the furniture, change the color scheme of the rooms, etc. Change everything beyond recognition.

89. Make the energy of your home become a real magnet that attracts love and happiness. If the energy of love has settled in your house; love will be attracted to you and outside. The energy field attracts only that which is similar in character and quality to itself. Especially focus your attention on the intention with which you will transform the energy of your home: what you would like to see in your home.

90. Things that litter the house take away the vital energy of the residents of the house. Think: old rubbish takes away your health, your vitality, and therefore the years of your life! So you are more expensive; own life or old rubbish?

91. There is always a temptation to put aside for later things that are obsolete or require repair, which have gone out of use in the process of everyday life. But it's like putting off happiness and harmony in your home until later. Some people continue to use cracked, chipped, or scratched crockery year after year, even though they have fine cutlery locked away in cupboards. Thus, they seem to inspire themselves: I do not deserve harmony in my daily life;

92. Absolutely ruthlessly get rid of trash.

93. Never wear clothes that have negative memories associated with you, no matter how much they cost.

94. Iron things that wrinkle. And don't be lazy! It is better to stroke them at a time than, cursing, ironing them all the time, being late for the next date, etc.).

95. Lay things out that don't wrinkle. Sweaters for sweaters, T-shirts for T-shirts.

96. Immediately after ironing, hang things on hangers (hangers, trempel). Do not overload the hangers, otherwise everything will soon be crumpled again.

97. Order of hanging: You can; skirts, then trousers, then blouses, then; jackets. Can; by style: business and classic, then; sports, then; for ceremonial occasions. Consider color division.

98. Came home undressed; immediately see what is dirty and what; no. Do not be too lazy to identify all clean things in their usual places, but dirty ones; put in the laundry.

99. In the evening, decide on clothes for tomorrow.

100. Get rid of everything that does not fit in style, color and size.

101. GOD DELIVER YOU to wear the things of a dead person; his suits, dresses, coats, boots. Thus, you will connect yourself with an energy channel with the afterlife, and your energy will leave through this channel.

102. Practical people always have such a warehouse of recyclables, justifying its presence by the fact that everything can come in handy someday. But, sorry, someday you will need a high-quality single coffin, do you really buy it in advance?

103. Most of us have developed a hamster instinct: hide everything you can in a mink. But the mink is not rubber. Gradually, things clog up all the pores of the house, so that you can’t turn around, they lie somewhere on the mezzanine for years, gather dust and deteriorate in cramped quarters and various closets and closets, orphanly huddle under sofas and shelves. More than once, probably, you had a feeling of longing when you got into the room of a lonely ancient old woman. Do you know why? This is not only the old age of the landlady, but also the smell, the specific smell of hamster housing. Because in the closet of this old woman, mixed with new, clean clothes, were dresses that she once wore in her youth, and moth-eaten hats that went out of fashion half a century ago, in her sideboard stood a broken mug, neatly glued in places of chips, plates with broken edges and even pieces of half-eaten rolls. All of them carried information about decrepitude, about the readiness to crumble into dust at the first touch. That's why never regret throwing anything away.

104. Often we even get sick because we keep all sorts of junk at home.

105. Leaving unnecessary things in the house, you thereby program yourself for poverty. The desire to hold on to old things is a sure sign of the psychology of poverty. Old things do not make it possible to acquire new ones, accumulate negative energy, which can affect well-being and luck in general. Holding on to old things thinking "What if there is no money to buy a new one, and I will never have this again?" we program ourselves that we will not be able to earn and buy the things we need.

106. Do not keep cut flowers in a vase for a long time. Firstly, they themselves, fading, bring death, and secondly, stagnant water is negative energy. The memory of death is concealed in stuffed animals, herbariums, insect collections, dry flowers and even natural fur coats.

107. Never accumulate or keep old things for a long time. Your life has become better, and they are "pulling" you into the past. Do not use the thing for more than a year - get rid of it. Only those items that you like should "live" in the house, then there will be much less unfavorable zones.

108. Old worn slippers attract negative energy. Also, do not store torn unusable clothes in the house. Dishes with cracks, chips violate the energy of food, making it dangerous to health. No matter how much you like the dishes, but if it is cracked, it is better to throw it away.

109. “In a dress that is not worn, resentment against the owner accumulates,” Vanga said, advising not to accumulate unnecessary clothes at home. Things that a person has not worn for a long time tend to "collect" innegative energy that destroys the material well-being of the owners.

110. In space, the main thing is space. It is space, free space - this is the favorable energy of our home. By cluttering the space of the house with unnecessary things and rubbish, we block our energy flow of health, success, prosperity and comfort.

111. To make it easier to determine whether you need a thing or not, ask yourself “if I move, will I pack it or get rid of it?”.

112. Where is the most rubbish in your apartment or house - in wardrobes, on the balcony, in the bathroom? From there, start the general cleaning. When dismantling wardrobes, throw away things you don't need - those that you haven't used for more than a year.

113. Putting things in order should be given special attention if a serious crisis or stagnation in relations has occurred in life. Dedicate at least six days to this and clean up yourself.

114. Rubbish attracts only rubbish.

115. Old perfumes, trousers and jugs are bad. This is programming yourself for life without change. Every thing from the past brings back some memories, makes you look back. And it's dangerous you can't go back to the past, you can skip the future. We must ruthlessly and irrevocably smash, tear, give away, dispose of. Anything should be done with old things, but just do not store, do not clog mezzanines, suitcases, boxes with rubbish, which will certainly be sent for subsequent storage in a garage or basement.

116. Holding on to old things with thoughts “What if there is no money to buy a new one, and I will never have this again?”, We resonate with the mentality of the poor and get poverty. If we calmly throw away unnecessary things with the thoughts “I will buy more or the Universe will give me better”, we resonate with the mentality of the rich and get wealth.

117. When we put on an old thing or splash with perfume that we have not used for a long time, or hear music from the past, we are literally brought back to the past. This is elementary NLP - all of this, the so-called "Anchors" are emotional. Some memories are associated with old things (spirits, clothes, and everything) and they are automatically reproduced upon contact with the anchor. But the fact is that not only emotions appear - old thoughts appear in us, but this is very dangerous, because thoughts, as we know, shape life. So we shape life with old thoughts and get not what we want.

Classification of unnecessary things by Gretchen Rubin. All trash Gretchen divided into the following categories:

Useless rubbish is things that are stored because they are basically necessary, although not personally needed by you. These can be numerous glass jars that may come in handy someday when you are going to “twist” something in them.

Trinkets - all kinds of useless souvenirs, key rings, postcards, figurines, magnets, etc.

Used junk is basically old clothes and underwear that we don't throw away just because it hasn't completely worn through. How many t-shirts do you have in your closets that have long since become shapeless and you don't wear them?

Pretentious rubbish - things that you have, but you use them only in your dreams. For example, a huge exercise bike that takes up a third of the room, and you think that someday I will start exercising on it in the morning. Or a service in a closet from which they never ate or drank.

Unsuccessful purchases - sometimes, instead of admitting that we bought an unnecessary thing, we put it on the far shelf in the hope that it will “someday come in handy”. As a rule, unsuccessfully purchased items of clothing, shoes, bags and accessories fall into this category. But there may also be unsuccessfully bought cosmetics that you don’t want to use, but it’s a pity to throw it away!

10 "valuable" things that should immediately be thrown into the trash.

1. Expired cosmetics.
Why keep your old mascara and lipstick? How about collecting empty perfume bottles? Any cosmetics is designed to make us more beautiful, and not cause a bacterial infection.

2. Uncomfortable shoes.
Admit it, there are such shoes, putting on which, every time you curse them because of unbearable pains and calluses?! Yes, they are very beautiful and stylish, but there are a million other shoes in the world that are comfortable. Can't throw away those shoes? Put them in the most visible place and sign: "My favorite instrument of torture."

3. Clothes "When I lose weight."
Somewhere in the far corner of the closet lies a neat stack of things that you dream of wearing when you lose those extra (only extra for you, no one else notices) kilograms. Yes, it works as a motivation, but negative and depressing.

4. Postcards from people you don't remember.
A stack of greeting cards is stored in a small beautiful box. Old. Banal and ugly. From people you'll never talk to again. Why do we need this warehouse of cardboard boxes with "sincere" wishes? Leave postcards only from loved ones, the rest - in the trash!

5. Porcelain dishes.
Museum exhibits should be kept in the museum! Take grandma old dinner sets cluttering sideboards and cabinets - put in their place better flowerpots with fresh flowers - no more naphthalene.

6. Paper spam.
Why drag various printed materials from the mailbox into the apartment? All you need is utility bills. All other printed garbage is superfluous and unnecessary trash.

7. "Unwearable" underwear.
Who came up with the classification of linen "for critical days", "for every day" and "on a special occasion"? Revise and leave only panties and bras in which you feel especially sexy. And throw away all the tights with arrows with the mysterious mission "Under the pants" (you will never wear them!).

8. Old phones, players and other equipment.
These valuable gadgets may be useful for young test physicists for experiments, but you absolutely do not need them.

9. Books that you will never read.
In a conspicuous place should be only your favorite books and those that are needed for work / study. The multi-volume writings of Marx or Gorky's "Life of Klim Samgin" - to the library or for processing, and not to collect dust and create an entourage of an intellectual.

10. Memories of former relationships.
Can't throw away your ex's T-shirt that still smells like his perfume? Or a stack of handwritten poems written by a traitor just for you? Getting rid of material reminders, it is easier to throw a person out of your head. As they say, out of sight, out of mind!
