Normally what happens is that our closets, pantries, rather the complete house is filled with many such things that are not practically being used since many months or sometimes even years!
Like just go and peep in your bedroom and look in your closet. Most likely you will find clothes that you do not wear all of the clothes you see (although congratulations if you do!). Very likely you do not really need all ten pairs of similar black dress shoes. Or take a glance at your recreation gear in the garage. When is the last time you actually used those cross-country skis? There is a solution - a great solution - to downsize your life and do something great for your community at the same time. Give to charity. There are a variety of suitable organizations that would be glad to take your excess possessions of your hands.
Make your mind up to give to charity is an ideal way to achieve many satisfactory things all at once. The very obvious one being helping those in need. You may have many extra pairs of pants, but it is quite likely that many people in your town struggle to afford owning more than one or two pairs at once. Likewise you still will be surprised to know that the entire common, every day needs people live with each day. Out of your surplus you can help the augment the quality of life for others.
The charity doer also has a great feeling of satisfaction and it will soon become your stride to donate and would be what you will be treasuring. Fro sure nothing feels better than practicing kindness, and you will quickly find that you will look for ways to simplify your life in order to bless others. Giving to charity will also give you the chance to simplify your overcomplicated life. As years go by people tend to gather more things than they can use at once.
To decide what you should be donating is pretty simple; just try asking yourself some questions like: do I really need it? Will I really use this? Is there someone else who could use this item more than me? Especially with clothing, if you have not worn it at all during the last two years, chances are high that you will not have a need to wear it again. Household items can be a little difficult to disconnect, but a good rule of thumb is that if you cannot memorize the last time you used it, you probably do not need it. Just begin going through your belongings and decide as you go.
Certainly giving to charity is a magnificent way to abridging your home, it is a gracious act just learn to see the needs of others and meet them all at the same time.
