Many of us hold onto items for sentimental reasons or because of fear of scarcity. However, these items can weigh us down and prevent us from moving forward. Sasia emphasizes the importance of addressing the emotional attachments to our belongings to truly declutter our lives.

Tips for Decluttering

• Focus on one category at a time: Decluttering one category at a time can make the process less overwhelming.

• Ask yourself questions: When deciding what to keep or discard, ask yourself questions like, "Does this item bring me joy?" or "Do I use this item regularly?"

• Don't be afraid to let go: It's okay to part with items that no longer serve you.
