I live a simple life but I still like to have treasured "things" around me and purging them wouldn't simplify my life, it would diminish it. I agree that emotional purging is as important if not more important than purging clutter. Wonderful post. Finally someone sees purging the way I do.

Mindless purging is just as bad as mindless acquisition. No matter what you do you need to think about it. Thank you for your post. And by the way -- I really enjoy your blog. Well said.

Not just stuff, but like you said the bad habits and unwanted commitments have to go. If only it were easier! I’ll be spending some quality time de-cluttering and purging in the new year.

Much of the "physical stuff" we can't seem to let go of relates to times or situations which no longer serve our life. So for me the "feng shui" or metaphysics of decluttering physical space also often acts as a mirror for what's going on in the Inner Life - all the stuff which may be holding us back from moving foward in life. As I de-clutter I connect with things I may have "buried" long ago. Whenever I declutter physically, it is almost like a spiritual exercise or ritual.
