On Change

[zoemathemata]

I've always been adverse to change. Change is SCARY. Change is shaking up the NORM. I know the norm. I may not like the norm, but I know it

I feel the same way about change too, it seem to take me a long time to get used to it, and an upcoming change always makes me anxious. But good things come out of changes too

Did you see trillingstar's comment above about taking pictures of things that have sentimental value? I think I may try that! I'm always worried that my memory relies having that object but I think that if I take a picture, I will still be able to see the things, but I won't have the clutter!

Let's tackle this together!

Yes! It's always easier when you're not alone in something ^_^ (sorry for the late reply!)

Both are more likely to be excuses, because the amount of work scares me just as much as throwing things out.

This I understand :-) I'll start working on one area, then realize that in order to put certain things away, I need to sort out a different area. So I start there, then realize that's going to mean working on yet another area! Then I just throw my hands up and give up, and hope I can deal with it another day :-(

It's definitely easier when you have someone to help!

I'm sending you encouraging thoughts!

Aw, thank you! And I do exactly like you sometimes, it's so hard to focus on one thing and just get it done! One summer I went through maybe one third of my stuff, the most I've ever done, putting things I kept in nice boxes. But I think I must go through them again, and get rid of even more stuff. Oh well, such is life sometimes :)
