1 Comment: Q: How Can I Break My Emotional Attachment to Unnecessary ‘Stuff?’

  1. I have the exact same problem as GRMom and have tried the approach to ask myself the questions to help decide whether to keep, donate or purge my stuff, but it really doesn’t help me know where to start or how to actually get rid of the stuff I know that I need to. I also do not have anyone I feel comfortable enough with to “recruit” to help me with this monumental task. Any other suggestions?
