When you watch the hoarding shows, they usually mention that there are levels. Of course, they pick the level fours for the show because ✨️ drama ✨️, but those level four homes were once level ones... I grew up in a hoarded house and picked up a lot of those traits. Some are more easily broken than others.
Hi April! Thank you! Its true I am at a lower level but still it impedes on the quality of not only my life but my entire family. I need to stop it now because it is getting out of control. Plus it steals so much of time and this is time I want with my family and to teach my kids how to be a good homemakers. I appreciate you so much!🥰 Have a beautiful day my friend!🌷🙏💪🤎
Interesting. Thank you for sharing
This is very interesting how different we all are. For instance, I am always getting rid of stuff to the point that my husband gets annoyed at me lol . For me, I get anxiety with accumulation of things and I hate bringing new unnecessary items into my home. Good luck on your journey ☘️🌼🌝
Yes I agree with you, I cannot have clutter or unused things I my home, that's were I get anxiety. Funny how different we all are but yet the same, lol.
Yes me too, I don’t like a lot of stuff.
Yes and watching other people get rid of things also calms me. Lol
I get anxiety for the clutter in my house. But I get anxiety to throw anything away. I’m screwed lol
Yeah, this is more like me... Having too many things around drives me crazy.
Maybe just take a high resolution photo of the platter, and add it to a wedding album. 😆 You literally said you'd do exactly this, about 30 seconds after I posted it. 👌🏽❤
Same
Lol! I did! Great minds thing alike! I am so good with this decision! It has been freeing just to let go of this sentiment that I think is sooo ugly!🤣🤣 Have a beautiful day friend!🌷🙏💪🤎
Exactly! 👏 We can donate or throw away something, and take a photo to save the memory 😊
Yah I would take a photo and throw away.....
I am a new viewer. I have PTSD and a sudden empty nest. The struggle is real. I often feel that I have no reason to get out of bed. Haven't dressed in weeks. Won't go out any more. I am working with a therapist. Thank you so much for sharing your life. What a true blessing you are.
Hi Kathie! 😭 My heart feels your pain. Please Never Ever Give Up!!! Your babes may be out fo the house but they are still in this world and they still need a functioning healthy Mama. I know the struggle but always remind yourself that youbare loved and needed by your children. Sometimes we forget that. They want you to get up and shower and go to therapy to get well so you can be around for them and their babies. Its a new season for you and change is uncomfortable but its also exciting. This is all part of Gods plan for you. You have new excitement to create for yourself and this means you will have to step outside of your comfort zone and try new things and meet new people. You need to take csre of yourself so you can go live the happy life that you deserve. What is one thing that you always wanted to do but couldnt because you had to be home with the kids?? Now go do it! And think of others and do others! And come back and let me know how its going. I expect to hear back from you! Once you get that happy dopamine rush you will get motivated to clean you home too! There is so much life for you to live! Dont give it up! Praying for you! Stay Mighty & God bless!🙏🤎💪💐
@@MightyMama thank you so much. I needed this.
i hope you’re doing well kathie 🖤
It's been a while but I hope you're doing okay ❤
Decluttering is an emotional and stressful process. I have been there. I started working on my hoarding when my 2nd child was born, 8 years ago. I am finally feeling the affects of owning less!
Wow! You have really helped to motivate me to move a little quicker. I certainty do not want to wait that long to feel peace from being uncluttered. 🤣 Good for you for sticking with it and doing it all with a newborn. Part of my delay was I couldnt do it with the babies and so things just kept piling up and getting pushed aside until starting this journey here. My youngest will be 4 in a few weeks and my eldest is 13. So its beens a long time coming for me and I am ready to start seeing and feeling the results of decluttering. Thanks for being here!🤎🙏💪
@@MightyMama thank you for continuing to share your journey! Your videos and authenticity help me to keep moving forward through my depression and anxeity.
You really do know if you put all that stuff in a bag,
put it in the garage you would never need anything or even remember what was in the bags it’s all clutter let it all go honey x you don’t need any of it get rid of it all x
I agree, get rid of it all! And don’t go out and buy more stuff.
My mom is a hoarder, watching this video gives me anxiety. Keeping way too much. If it's not in your kitchen already you don't need it OR you need to clean out your kitchen before you go through this pile. But thank you, it makes me understand her better.
"I'm not going to attach memories to items anymore" is my new mantra! It is something I have not been able to put into words until I heard you say it in this video, and it's something I really need to be mindful of because this has been a serious struggle for me for years. Thank for you for being an empowering inspiration and motivation 🙏💖
Yes, I'm currently struggling with my 5 year olds daily artwork. I love it so much that I save it all!! But I think we should choose a few together to commemorate her kindergarten art!
@@meghanhertzog2426 I think you are a wonderful mother for saving her artwork...I know itz none of my business...but I hope u will keep ALL her artwork (assuming it would all fit in a fairly smallish box)
Her artwork is unique to other items that take up space.
I am a lifelong artist...itz how I make my living. I wish my well meaning mother would have saved the artwork from my early childhood. I will never understand why she threw it all away...but she never wanted me to be an artist...so maybe thatz why?
Anyway...again...it touched my heart to read your comment...that you saved your little one's artwork.
I thank you on behalf of your daughter's future self! 💛
@@sandradeenicholson ❤️❤️❤️ she is very sensitive and other kids pick on her. Her art 🎭🎨🎭 is where she really gets to be herself. I'm proud of her, I hope your Mama showed you she was proud of you!
@@meghanhertzog2426 my relationship with my mother was very complicated. She was a war survivor with PTSD.
She loved me the best way she knew how. There was a LOT of depression and anger because of the trickle down effects of war...it was tough.
I was (still am) freakishly sensitive.
One thing I truly believe: ART SAVES LIVES. (It saved mine MANY times!)
Another thing: ART is NECESSARY for LIFE.
I applaud you for recognizing the benefits your daughter gains when she is allowed to create art! You are fabulous! What a lucky little girl...💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛 Rock ON!
Save some artwork in a box. Take pictures of the others then throw them away. You will be able to look at all the memories without having clutter.
One thing that helps me declutter is something I heard Dawn from The Minimal Mom talk about. If you can replace it for $20 or less in 20 minutes, get rid of it. It helped me throw out all my old coffee canisters that I was saving in case I needed to store something in them. It's so much easier to throw out dumb crap now 🤣
That's funny 🤣
That’s a rule by The Minimalists and I first heard it from Dawn , too. CHANGED my life!
I have a “memory” tote. So things like the platter, cute notes/pictures from the kids, my old yearbooks, my grandpas shirt(who passed away). All goes in this tote and goes in my closet or attic so I still have it but it’s not creating clutter ❤️
Hey beautiful! Well thats my problem. I have way too many totes. I havent even gotten into the heart of it all yet. This is going to be a long journey but I am excited for the results and proud of the progress I have made thus far. Thank you for being here! 🤎🙏💪🌷
Thank you for the real decluttering your showing. For me, I’m a mom but my son is grown and married. After having my fifth surgery I went from being extremely active to disabled. Now I’m slowly decluttering. It’s hard for me because I’m in pain. Your videos really motivates me. Thank you!
💙💙💙
Cry me a river.
I am definitely a hoarder. I just recently divorced of 10 years, and brought 10 years worth of stuff with me. Most is still in boxes. I cannot bring myself to declutter it yet.. but this gives me some motivation to do so, plus it's nice to know I'm not the only one, especially with your depression and anxiety cleaning videos as well. They're actually real videos. It's refreshing.
Try forgiving yourself for your boxes full o' stuff!
I also recently divorced after over 10 years of marriage. I moved in with my mom, and all of my stuff is in boxes in either the garage or the basement. It has been 2 years since I moved in with her, I year divorced. I finally forgave myself for letting it go on so long. I have a 10 gallon tote full of travel mugs, and one full of just coffee mugs... I feel the pain of having too much stuff.
Thank you for addressing real life minimalism towards the end of the video. It's different for everybody. That was genius! 👏🏽
When you struggle with making a decision on whether or not you should keep something, ask yourself, "If I didn't have it, what would I use instead?" Keep up the great work!
your video came up at the perfect moment!!!! I woke up feeling broken by my home, then I saw your video! thank you
Thank you Nathan! I know that feeling! I am so happy you found me! Let's declutter together! I am always here for you to help ya through! Subscribe to join this real life messy to minimal journey and take back control of the mess in your home too! Just remember a little each day keeps the stress mess away! Don't get overwhelmed! Have a beautiful day! 💪🙏🌷🤎
I can make this way easier for you. If it is not an immediate Yes then it is a No. Let it go. That’s what I am doing now.
Seeing you do this by yourself breaks my heart.I think you need someone to be with you as a support person and help you clean up even if it's just taking things out of the area or taking the trash out. Praying for you,God bless❤️
You are so sweet Susan! Actually, I'd much rather be alone while decluttering. It is a sensitive situation for me and my OCD needs things to be done a certain way where someone elses help would only make me irritable and waste more of my energy. I am fine! I promise I prefer this time alone but thank you for your support! It means so much to me!🥰🤎💪🙏🌷
I have a hoarder heart but keep her in check reminding myself how nice life is when things are orderly. Thanks for vids like this.
Thank you for your transparency! I received your video in my feed. It's very helpful.
I really appreciate that you define hoarding at the 30:12 mark.
I also like that you imbed how anxious the process is making you throughout.
Welcome Lily! Thank you for your supportive and kind words! It means so much to me. This journey is all about sharing the raw a real of beginner minimalism and being mom with a family. It is possible to become minimal with families too. It will just look different then those without. Nothing to feel bad about. I used to feel like this will not be possible for me but now I know that I can do it. It will only take me longer because I do have a hoarder within me. Working through all of these things as I move along my Messy to Minimal journey. I hope you will subscribe and follow along too so you can declutter your hone and mind with me! Have a beautiful day!🥰🤎💪🦋🌷
Too much stuff gives me anxiety, clutter drives me crazy. My husband gets so upset when I get rid of things. If I haven’t used something in a year or on a regular basis it goes!
Hi Margie! Same but the hoarder in me has difficulty letting go. And my husband gets in the way when I finally get the strength to do it because he is definitely a hoarder and puts way too much value into objects. This is a long and hard journey but I am excited for the results to come! Thank you for helping me through it!🤎🙏💪🌷
As far as the mental illness it has to do with your reaction to even the idea of letting go. Someone can have a lot of things (a hoard) and not qualify as having hoarding tendencies. It has to do with emotionally reacting and having severe anxiety over letting go of things. This is why I like to clearify that I have hoarding tendencies to help people understand that for me it goes beyond just having things. But even if you dont have those tendencies and you just have things, I don't think it is wrong to say you hoard. It's just a different kind of hoarding. ❤
I dont know if u have been medically diagnosed, but from watching your video I see lots of similar tendencies to my hoarding habits. It's important to know that you can improve when it comes to hoarding and you are using many techniques that are recommended to hoarders including photographing things to ease the pressure of letting them go. I love that you were talking through your reasons for keeping or letting go; that is so helpful for hoarders. Great video!
Edit: googone is the best for removing sticky labels to repurpose containers.
Im on a decluttering journey of my own this year. I'm not struggling to get rid of things because I am in a mood to just throw everything away! 😂 I want everything to be empty and clean..it's a problem lol
Hey Danielle! Well girl...just stay on that wagon the whole way though if it allows. You are doing amazing!! I feel ya on just wnating clean and clear spaces. I am just trying not to be impulsive in my decluttering to avoid major depressive episodes down the road so I have been being very intentional about it as I go. I am moving like a turtle. 🐢🤣 Keep going!💪🤎🙏🌷
It’s too overwhelming to see all that stuff.
Just listening to your thought process I would say that you do have hoarding tendencies. Great job decluttering!
I need he!p with my garage which is filled with my daddy's special possessions....just can't and won't get rid of it....I need help......wat do I do?
Home girl kept ugly ass cup sweaters but got rid of a wedding platter signed by loved ones…. Did I see that correctly?
For things that are personalized, it may seem crazy to donate it, but there are lots of people that do DIY's and repurposing. So things like the platter could be painted over. Clothing can be cut into pieces, or they may use it just to practice a new technique on. So just a reminder that not everything has to be "used as is".
I am kind of surprised about the plate with Nana xoxo on it. I don’t think I could have let that go. 😅
If you need help, please reach out to me. I can come and declutter/organize with you. ❤️
Keep the Wedding Shower plate and display it at your 25th anniversary.
I absolutely love this clean up serious! You did such an amazing job! 👏🏼💛
Thanks beautiful! I appreciate you being here! You motivate me to keep going! 🤎💪🙏🌷😘
Hee this is sooo good. Maybe iff you watch A Hoarder Heart here on youtube.. she can help you because she explains everything so so good about this.. maybe its helpfull for you🥰
Just checked out the price on that floor cleaner just as I thought more than I can afford
I keep going back and forth on suggesting this because I sooooo understand that there is stuff that we NEED to get rid of, ESPECIALLY if we’re not using it. So please just accept this as me, a fellow recovering hoarder, just tossing out this idea even if it’s a very bad one:
As far as the platter with the signatures on it… is there a place in your house where you could hang it on the wall or display on a shelf as decor with other wedding memorabilia? You said you don’t like the color or style so I perfectly understand why that idea will absolutely not work and why you didn’t want to ever do that. Either way, I understand why either keeping it or getting rid of it would be a struggle and I’m proud of you for being strong decisive enough to let it go. Sentimental stuff is especially hard for me to toss.
Girl you were in my head in this very moment and like you said these thoughts were the hoarder in me finding anyway i can keep it. In the end after sleeping on it, I felt so good about letting it go because I know I have the pictures of it that will be in my wedding album. It was actually a victorious feeling and so freeing to know that I could let that go without any pain. I feel like I am taking control back again. Thank you for being a friend! You motivate me to keep going. Have a beautiful day!🤎💪🙏🌷
@@MightyMama: In that case, I’m REALLY glad you got rid of it! I didn’t want to say anything because you are sooooo much further along in the healing process than I am, but maybe it’s good I said something because I learned a VERY important lesson from your response to me that I feel God has been tryyyyyying to teach me for a very long time. Thank you SO much, I needed to hear it!
I’ve learned a so very much from you! Thank you for being so courageous and sharing your journey; you truly are a mighty mama in Christ!❤️
NO, just take a photo of sentimental items and toss them without guilt. You can look at them anytime that way but they are not an albatross around your neck.
The platter that’s signed you could have it on display idk
Hoarding, like any other issue, is a spectrum.
Keep the wedding shower platter and let the "undecided" go
You know what helped me declutter a lot of sentimental items was realizing that i actually felt kinda sad when i saw those things. Yes it made me remember sweet times, but it came with a sad emotion. However, if i just remembered that person who had past, or just remembered my sweet tiny newborn babies, I could just feel happy about the memory. The physical item made me kinda sad. So i just let those things go and i can have peace in knowing that those times were sweet, even if i don't always remember every single one.
As cliche and lame as it sounds.. watching you gives me the confidence that I can do it too. Listening to you walk yourself through the logic/self reasoning of why you don’t need to keep things is a great guide for me to follow. I get so attached to everything and the “what if I can use this later” excuses to keep things. I have so much clutter and I have the motivation to start small.. one closet or shelf at a time! Thank you
Hi Jennifer! I am so happy that this helped some. I know exactly what you mean. I struggle with this the most now because I am going to making over my entire home and so I am afraid to get rid of certain things because I may need it once a room is finished and then I will live with that regret. 🤪 Its enough to drive me cray. I know once I can finish homemake overs the decluttering will be easier for me because then i will know. Thats why I did start my kids room makeover because I have my entire frontroom stored with all of their stuff. I cant decide what to keep until I see the space done. I get suggestions here to declutter first but I am thinking I may do more makeovers so I can choose things to declutter easier. Oh my! Why do we put so much energy into things!! I get uoset at myself when i do this. In the end none of it matters but only people do.😭 I have a lot of self work to do. Thanks for being here for me too! Stay Mighty! We are gonna get through this together and finally have that happy organized clutter free home!!🙌 keep your eye on the prize. New video coming this Sunday!🥰 Stay Mighty!💪🙏🤎
I am a hoarder and have been decluttering my place for a year and a half. I'm almost there. What I have found is it happens in layers. Don't worry about decluttering "perfectly" in one go. Do the best you can and then go over it again later. It amazes me how I will think I have decluttered because I reduced a category by 50%+ then look again and realize I need to get rid of at least half yet again. My main issue is not over shopping and cluttering my place again. In one of the decluttering/minimalism videos I watched someone said "If you have too much stuff, no matter how you organize it it will look messy." This quote has helped me so much. Sometimes when I declutter and then organize it still feels wrong, and usually the problem is there is still too much.
Great job, it's a big step, congratulations 🎉
Thank you😍 Expecting a baby soon. Living with family in law and they are hoarders. I was trying to keep everything clean but felt sick and gave up. 2nd trimester and I'm feeling beter the house in a state... I want to start cleaning (of course a bit on a time).
Love the style of this video. Awesome job decluttering
First time viewer, liked how real your video is. Wish we were neighbors, we could help each other. The struggle is real 😊
I want to get back to it... but im just exhausted. My fibromyalgia has been worse lately, im working and looking for a new job and taking care of my daughter. By the time i have time to clean and organize Im in pain and exhausted. I really dont know how to make myself when im dead most days
Hi Crystal! I am so sorry you havent been feeling well. It really sucks when our physical health hokds us down. I do not have Fibromyalgia but I have a few family members who do. I understand it wipes them out and causes alot of physical pain which I believe transfers to mental pain so you are truly fighting a tough battle each day. My heart goes out to you. My best advice would be to start keeping track of when your bad days appear and when your good days appear. Maybe there is a pattern you do not recognize yet. Or maybe there are triggers that flare up the fibro. I am sure stress is a big one. Stress causes any inflammation and that can wreak havic on your body and mind. So start paying atten and record the date and times of day. Draw a smile face for good times and sad face for bad. Do thisbfor about two week and see if there is a pattern. Then for the next week see if it repeats and try to schedule that decluttering during those good times of your week. Being a Mama alone is so exhausting so I feel you. Hey have you watched my natural rems for anxiety and panic attacks video ruclips.net/video/yT8ME5C3t-Q/видео.html
If not check it out, I believe these tips can be beneficial overall for your physical and mental health and give you more energy. And also, be sure you are drinking lots of water all day. Get yourself a big water bottle and be sure to drink at least one a day. Try these things and see what comes of it. Also, keep in mind that the clutter causes us to feel stressed just by looking at it so if you can find one moment of feel good and just start working through the clutter by the end of that session you will feel some of that stress melt off. Getting started is always the hardest part so the only way to get through it is to do it!! Get up walk over to the clutter and start with one thing and soon your natural motivation will kick in! You may surprise yourself! I will be praying for you to find that strength and motivation and drive to keep going and that you find the perfect job! Always here for you! I will be back with more messy to minimal this week! You got this!!💪🙏🤎🌷😘
Also, ask for help! Thats something we as Moms rarely think of but we do need help. So maybe a family member or friend can take your daughter for a day and you can really get into it. And then do that again the next week until the clutter gets easier where you can do it with your daughter. I wait until my okder kids are home from school so they can watch my little guy because decluttering and kids definitely do not mix!🤪🤣😘
Thank you ❤️ I am definitely starting to ask for help and also may even look into trying to afford a professional organizer to get things in better shape so I can work on maintenance. I don't know how much I can afford lol but you and I have similar looking clutter which has definitely become worse post pandemic and my dad's sudden death Nov 9th.. it's exhausting doing it all on your own and I don't just mean the cleaning 😑 Thank you for your videos. It helps to know I'm not totally alone
I like how you dissected each piece. I agree with the photo of the plaster with loved one's having signed it. That gives me inspiration to maybe create a Word document on my computer showing the loving greeting cards that were given. I still hold onto my greeting cards that my husband gave me each year. Thank you for this concept & thought process. ❤️❤️
Yes, there are different types of hoarding. Some are from over-shopping, I’ve seen many shows on this. I have a problem with my husband not wanting to throw things away. He sees value in old things, even if they have no practical use. He stores stuff in boxes, then refuses to throw them away. He saves everything! I have a problem with ‘gifts’. People give me things for birthdays and Christmas that I don’t need or use but I feel guilty about throwing them away. I could use some advice about both these topics! Help!
Hey girl! My husband is the same way. Him and his little stashes in boxes. Drives me nuts! Hes like a squirrel. 🤣🤣 And our garage!! I cant! He saved almost every single tool of his Dads after his passing. Has never used one of those tools! We also have a hotdog cart, an old arcade game that doesnt always work and just bins and boxes of old stuff he hasn't touched in 13 years!! Honestly, I havent figured out how to solve this problem yet but when I do I will definitely share here and in a video. As for gifts honestly just donate them or regift. Seriously, its not worth the headache the guilt and then the weight of the clutter in your home just to save a gift from someone out of guilt. Get rid of it! Get rid of that stress! Save yourself the headache. You are not responsible for loving everything that is gifted to you. You did not ask anyone to buy you anything so you are not responsible to take care of this item for the rest of your life if you choose not to. Moving forward try and adapt to this mindset when it comes to recieving. I know it sounds harsh but its okay to not like things and its okay to give it to someone else who will. Its not like your family or friends are going to follow up on the gift and see how you have been caring for it. 🤣 I am sure there is at least one person that you gifted and they didnt like it and donated it. But they will never tell you and that is okay. In gift recieving all you are required to do is accept it with a smile say thank you and go about your life after the party. Lol! I am not laughing about this or you. I can totally relate to how you feel and I know how hard it can be . It was me for many years and that is part of the clutter I am dealing with now. Gifts from others that just didnt serve a purpose but kept getting shifted around my house or only used once out of guilt. Thinking I had too or even with my kids gifts. Knowing they will not like it or use it. I would still make them use it at least once because I felt like they were obligated to since it was a gift. Plus I come from a poor childhood and so we were conditoned to use anything we can get. All these years later I have realized that its okay to donate stuff if I dont love it or use it. And its always nicer to donate brand new so I am really good now about decluttering the gifts after a party and seperating what I know the kids will not use. Then I am able to donate it new which is nice or even regift it. I rather give it to someone who really needs the item. Whether it be through goodwill, a gift to a coworker or my kids even. I rather see it serve its purpose then to have it just sitting around my house collecting dust because of my own hangups. Its time to free yourself from the weight of gifts that youndo not like or need. Pass it on and free yourself!🦋 You got this! And in the meantime I will be working on a way to deal with our husbands clutter! 🤣 Stuff will be the death of me! Lord help us!🙏💪🤎😘
Thank you! Great advice. Yes, the men in our lives need to let go of stuff. Fortunately, I own the kitchen, it’s an eat in kitchen. Everything is organized and put away, the room has a bit of an echo, clear table, you can see walls, nothing on the floor except furniture legs and cat dish. Bathroom the same way. Everything put away but soap dish and hand soap. It’s easier to clean that way. I will keep trying! Lol. 😃
Me: About to judge before I look at the corner of my dining room & see the exact same messy pile 😆 🤦♀️
Make a sentamintal box
Как у вас получаются такие вечные горы мусора? А дети и муж за собой вообще не убирают? Не приучены?! Я своих детей с детства приучила к порядку и они уважают мой труд- более того: все что после игры не убрано на место с пола - значит им не нужно- а не нужно- идет на выброс.
Очень мотивирует и воспитывает.
The platter is the same blue as your other serving pieces; could be used for anything and throwing it away is just filling landfills for no reason. This is definitely a keeper.
It's always going to a landfill eventually, when she dies it will go to a landfil 🙄 plus its ceramic it's biodegradable 🙄
Instead of throwing "throw-away" items on the FLOOR-put them in a garbage can--- or box--- that you can take to the garbage to eliminate the ONE BIG STEP, extra time and energy of picking all that up AGAIN and throwing it away!!!!!
My name is Echo, definitely wasn't expecting you to shout echo! Hahaha! My head whipped over at my cell like, mom?? Hahaha!
🤣🤣 Aww thats too funny! Yeah we opted for the Echo name instead of Alexa. This is an option during set up if you didnt know. Thanks for hanging out Echo! Very cool name!😊💪🙏🤎🌷
@@MightyMama we have an Alexa, my boyfriend sat up so I have no clue. I use it for a kitchen timer and music for my little boy for dance parties in the kitchen! I enjoy your channel, thanks for putting your life out there for us to follow along!
All I can say is God led me to your video this evening. I readily admit that I’m a hoarder and I’m also depressed and have zero energy just about everyday. I take meds for my depression but when I have a bad day, I buy “stuff”-either at a resale shop, TJ Maxx, The Dollar Twenty-Five Cent Tree (lol!), or online. When I buy things, I can picture, in my mind, where I want to put them or use them….except I never do and they just keep adding up until, at this moment, there’s barely a path through my house. The buying makes me happy at that time but whatever it is just gets thrown on something when I get home. I get sooooo frustrated with myself-Thank You for being real and helping others feel they’re not alone and giving us ideas and tips that are really doable and not too overwhelming.
You have no idea how much this is helping me today. I can't wait to watch all of your videos, I am beyond ready for a change. I can tell you're doing this from a place of love and it just makes me feel not alone. God Bless you!
Finally someone with an actual messy and overloaded house!
I saw my own struggles as I watched you trying to get rid of stuff. Even when it’s clear I have too much stuff, half or more is unused I still struggle to get rid of it
Then I saw how your maybe pile kept growing and that seems like it’s part of the executive functioning issues that can cause people with ptsd or adhd to hoard. Instead of following through, your brain wants to stop halfway and focus on more rewarding actions and has trouble with decision making !
But you’re trying and doing it ❤
The idea of taking pictures of the platter for your album was pretty genius. Personally, I'd do that and destroy it, burying it in my backyard. Not only so no one could go dumping and find it but for symbolic reasons. Gone, but not forgotten.
I clicked on this by chance, but this had helpful tips. Thank you.
Love your videos!! You're an amazing mother!! 🥰❤❤👌🏽
Aww. Thank you Rachel! 😭😭🥰🙏💪🌷
The price of hoarding:
My husband (a hoarder) passed away almost 2 years ago. He collapsed at the end of the bed on the floor when he was supposed to pick me up at the hospital after my double mastectomy. I had to contact his sister who then got her brother involved. They knew nothing about their brother's hoarding (all they had to do was see the condition the car was in). Anyway, they forbid me to live there any longer with my son with me. He is 37 and blind. He weighed 1lb 5oz when he was born. I am 72 and now living in an apartment with my son. I won't be able to afford this much longer than maybe 2 more years. I have been trying to get the house cleaned up but not having much luck. I seem to do only yardwork. That also goes slowly because of southern summer heat! Hoarded cars, computer stuff everywhere, a former water leak leaving a mess under the mountains of stuff. I probably could have gotten a whole lot more cleaned up by now if I hadn't gotten kicked out of my mortgage- free house. When I decide what to keep, I think about someone else having to go through this hell. My neighbor wants to buy the house so I need to get a whole lot busier next year..that is my motivation.
I live in low income and they are,always inspecting so I decided to declutter alot of things so I kind of understand what you are going through. Just do a little bit at a time so u are not overwhelmed. Your doing a beautiful job and it will be so much easier on you to keep it all up on the days u have not feeling like doing stuff
Thats the ticket Darlene! A little at a time! Good job ti you as well! It is nit easy to declutter but remembering the reason will help to keep you on track! Always here for you! Lots more coming each week! Have a beautiful day my friend!🥰💪🙏
It’s clothes for me !!!! I hate throwing away clothes 😓 and continue to keep buying clothes for me and my kids smh
Take pictures of your sentimental items and put them in a album. That way you can look at it now and than. Do this with children's items too and give them the memory album when they graduate. I'm slowly decluttering myself. We moved into a very small 2 bedroom on a acre of land. I have so much I need to get rid of so my house doesn't look cluttered and junkie. My daughter has a hoarding problem so I need to go through it when she's at school. She is 16 yrs old. Thanks for sharing your journey.
I would keep the plater and hang out on the wall or pack it away. I couldn't give up something so sentimental. And if I did I would definitely regret it. But that's just me. With that being said I am a hoarder of sorts when it comes to sentimental items and anything to do with my kids. I even have the last card my Oma gave me before she passed. It's hard to let it go.
Hi Crystal! I totally know how you feel. Those things with my babies have got me in a hoarder hook. Those I must say the sentimental items that I am really going to struggle with when it comes to this minimalism journey. As for the platter I did sleep on it and I felt so good about letting it go the next day. Knowing I had the pics of it in my wedding album made it all better. Thats all I realy need. In this minimalism journey I am being very selective about what I am keeping and choosing to display as my goal is to spend less time on cleaning and more time with family. I appreciate you being here and helping me through it all. Stay Mighty!🤎💪🙏🌷
I keep adding to my comments...😅
If you display it at a special anniversary, it could be a special time of remembrances.
OR if you take a photo, enlarge it and bring it out for those special events.
I think hoarding is a spectrum. I have such a hard time physically, mentally, and emotionally letting go of anything. Now obviously I don’t keep trash, but if I haven’t used something in a two years but I spent so much money on this hobby that I can’t get rid of it.
We started minimalism a year and a half ago. We did not have a ton of stuff but we are in our 3rd house with 4 kids & so we accumulated things within the years.
We started just tossing things that I wondered why I had kept. Styles & trends change; therefore, things my 1st child used will not get used by my 4th child. In addition, we got so good at buying less & less of things that the house looks minimal with 4 kids than it did with 3 kids.
It took a year to clean out all the rooms, seasonal decor, the garage, bathroom items, etc. Good luck on your journey.
I don’t have enough parties to justify keeping as many platters. I think I have 2. And the flower on is cute, but it looks like a nightmare to clean.
Speaking of cleaning, you need some goo gone to get the stocky stuff from labels off.
Hoarding is a spectrum. It's holding onto different things for different reasons. If someone's upset because you say you're a hoarder even though you don't look like the extreme version of that, that's like arguing with someone saying they're an alcoholic even though they're not drunk all the time because they're trying to manage it. LOL
I would definitely keep the wedding shower gift you could display that on a picture thing that holds your it's an easel but I definitely would keep something like that those things are priceless
I think you made a mistake keeping a silver platter for ‘monetary value’ but trashed that platter from your wedding with your nana’s writing. IMO irreplaceable items are worth more than any amount of silver or gold.
Honestly, i have a hard time watching a lot of de clutter videos… Dana K White changed my life -- the ‘only better’ method and container concept and not a lot of emotional decisions ❤️
I would just display wedding plate in glass cabinet lovely messages... I still have our cake topper it's characters of us icing still fine nearly 8 years old bought large vase ikea and use as cover and put in our glass cabinet.. friends still can't believe we still have it😂
Goo Gone will get labels off plastic.. just started watching you.. love decluttering videos
I always thought of hoarding as for example the people that grew up during the depression couldn't throw things away they would keep every receipt every scrap of fabric left over from making a dress etc. Also people who are collectors can be hoarders. But what I see on the show hoarders all the time just seems to me like people with an extreme mental disorder where there is feces everywhere bugs etc it's not really what I think of as hoarding.
One thing I started doing for sentimental things I want to get rid of, like that platter, is to take a picture. You may never use that huge platter, but with a picture you'll always have an image of your nana's signature around.
My mom has the same problem with letting things go, She is always out buying things that she doesn’t really need. I love her to bits but she cannot get to anything that she actually uses in her house because she’s too anxious to get rid of the stuff she never uses. I see it in myself sometimes as well. I really wanted to like this video but I think it was too close to home for me. Best of luck to you. Hope you get to a place where you can feel happy with your space.
Your not SUPPOSED to use the platter, you’re supposed to hang/display it. Js
Yes that's what I was thinking I wanted Rachel said that cuz that's the same thing I was thinking when you were talking about it, so take a picture and that way you can go back once in awhile and you have those memories still but you don't have anybody that in your family that might really like the fact that you know everybody's on there I don't know I mean was it laminated or something so the and you know that won't come off I mean if that's the case yeah I would definitely get rid of it I can't use it!!
You are not a hoarder, you are a mom that need stuff to take care of your kids! A hoarder keeps everything they come in contact with. It’s more of a mental and emotional problem with things that aren’t necessarily needed.
Hi, you are doing a wonderful job. Even one decision to let an item go and removing from your home is a huge step. Well done 👍 👏
Thank you for your kind support!🤎🙏💪🌷
Do you realize all the declutter channels are advertising more stuff to buy and bring home, adding more stuff to a crowded home space

I’m constantly an influx of box to donate box a throwaway box to put away I never get any one thing ever done and I’m getting so irritated and overwhelmed by all of it constantly moving things around to go back to the same place even though I get a little bit done it’s never enough. I was able to finally get rid of a bed I was holding onto for many years that I know I would never use it was my mothers but there was never going to be a way to use it but keep moving it and holding onto it finally I brought it to the donation center and say goodbye along with some other things that I was holding onto so I did square away some area in my garage but it still seems like just a tiny scratch on the surface
At 30:20 what’s that grey piece of furniture in the background on the left and where did you get it? I’ve been wanting to get something like that to organize my laundry but I can’t find one that’s the right size for me
Thank you for the video. However I have issues with having a robot vacuum when my girlfriend sheds a lot. There would be so much hair in the brush and it makes it so hard to remove and this made me stop using it
One thing that helps me is if it holds sentimental value but its taking up to much space or I just simply don’t need it I take a photo of it then get rid of it. That way I still have the memory of it just doesn’t take up physical space
Not your taste, but that wasn't the point of the gift. Treasure the people that thoughtfully picked it out and purchased it.
Honor that.
Sorry but that was way too long of a sponsorship/ad. I have no issue with sponsorships, and totally get why people get them, but more than 5 minutes is insane.
Great job. I have a really hard time getting rid of things too. My garage is a nightmare.
Can you hang the platter in a frame on the wall or find another use for it like on an end table with a lamp on it or something... just something its got so many good memories and Nana is on it ... be creative and you can come up with some way to utilize and cherish it..
i am not a hoarder and actually some times get rid of too much and have been told i am not very sentimental but i love watching these videos. this is like a real makeover for your space. you did an awesome job. i hope your life is easier with less stuff.
There's different levels of hoarders, not everyone is a hoarder and thought this was a cleaning video not a talking video
For me, it the inability to tell people no. Somehow, I have become the person that family offers things to that are still good/useful but others want to get ut of their own house
I have hoarder tendencies so I try VERY hard to declutter often so that I don’t go into a full on buried alive
that robot didn't seem to clean right up to furniture or edge of the roim- which is where most the dust and cat hair seems to gather for me.
I would have hung that platter up - it's no good to anyone else donated but I just trash that.
I think I’m worse than you lol the first thing I thought of when you showed the containers that you used to use for breastmilk was I would reuse those for some thing and there we go I would never have gotten rid of them 😢
Make something better today. That way it isn't overwhelming.
Not to be rude, I agree you are a hoarder. I think I am on a smaller level. You are right there are different levels of hoarders and it is not just the extreme.
I have the ROBOROCK E SERIES!!! It’s the best! I’m disabled so it keeps me from having to sweep therefore not injuring my back.
Its the best! Omg! I am really not a tech futureistic person. Just call me Old Skool pen and paper kind of gal but getting the Roborock has really changed my mind about having robots in my home!🤣 Its a amazing! My floors never have dust bunnies anymore! But I still need to bust out the upright once a week to know I am not missing anything in the carpets and use my mop to bleach my kitchen floors!🤣 I would imagine it has been a lifesaver for you or anyone with a disability. Thank God for technology. Have a beautiful day my friend!🥰💪🙏🌷
I say, if I don't use it for a whole 12 months then I don't need it! I go through stages of throwing and donating - it does feel good!
My robo, put on landing, just put on auto, went into bedrooms and stops at first step for stairs then turned around they are great aren't they
