In deciding what to keep, select a number of your most favorite items and let go of the rest.
If you find that all of your items are favorites, it may be easier to select items you like the least because there is less emotional attachment to them. Regardless of what you are letting go of, it is comforting to know that your items are going to the “right place.” That might be selling them at an auction or yard sale, giving them to friends and family members or a nonprofit organization. Know that eliminating some of your possessions makes room for new experiences.
The Internet is one powerful reason. It allows them to access photos and videos of their experiences capturing cherished memories as well as songs and movies. It provides answers to any question they might have day or night without relying on hard-copy books, journals or reports. Forget about photo albums, Encyclopedia Britannica and our CDs. Additionally, millennials value freedom more than belongings and consequently buy smaller homes.
“Do we own our own possessions or do our possessions own us?” If having too much stuff disturbs us and we do nothing, then our possessions own us. However, if we are comfortable with our possessions regardless of the number, we own them.
