Today, we are going to talk about how to say thank you and then let go of the object. When we are decluttering, it can be very, very tough to let that object go. A lot of times people are clinging onto that object because they don't wanna let it go, but why, right? Why do we hold onto it? Oftentimes, we don't wanna let go because there's a memory associated with it.
There's a person associated with it. There's just an energy, right, that we don't wanna let go of. And so something that's really important and can be very therapeutic as you're going through this process is to say thank you and let it go. Now this doesn't have to even be something that you say out loud, it could just be something that's internal, something that you just kind of whisper to yourself. But if I am decluttering and let's say somebody gave me an object that I no longer need, and there's kind of that guilt that I feel inside about letting it go because somebody that I love gave it to me or something like that.
What I will say is thank you that I have somebody in my life that even thought to give me a gift and just acknowledging that, that is the gift. The gift is acknowledging that person gave it to me and I am so thankful that they thought of me, but now I can let it go and move it on to somebody else that needs it more. Or if something has just run its course, let's say it's a kitchen appliance that we no longer need, right? Something that's not as emotionally involved. And we could use another one, right?
Maybe it's, it's just, it seemed better days in this case where we might feel guilty because we don't wanna waste money or something like that. What we want to do is show gratitude and say thank you for all of the meals that it helped cook and all the memories associated with it. And then we let it go. It's a way to acknowledge and honor the memories, the experiences, the people, the love, all of that. That is the gift and that is what we want to acknowledge, but then we let it go.
And we declutter whether that's to make room for new things, or we just don't like that object anymore, or it served its purpose. It is okay to declutter and let go and by acknowledging it and saying, thank you. It really it makes the the whole process come full circle and really allows us to let it go with ease and gratitude.
