My Embarrassing Relationship with Clothes - Learning Minimalism - How to Deal With Too Much Clothes

As I immerse myself fully in my journey of learning minimalism, I need to come clean with my embarrassing relationship with clothes, and share how sneakers & ingrained beliefs built and fostered in my youth have had lasting effects on my spending and dressing habits all the way to today as an adult, and ultimately, learning how to deal with too much clothes. 🚨Brand New Facebook Group To Help Each Other Get It Together: https://www.facebook.com/groups/GITtogether In this video, I talk about the five reasons why we feel the need to hang on to stuff, and how to address those reasons head on. To me, the point of minimalism isn't to just get rid of everything, but rather, to be deliberate and intentional about the things we choose to keep in our lives. Most of us, too some degree, are hoarders, and to me, learning how to stop hoarding is vital for overall happiness. I love Hip Hop culture, and as strange and potentially lame as it might sound to you, it, and namely, one of it's 4 elements: Breaking (breakdancing) saved my life, and kept me out of more trouble than I dare to even imagine. But when we adopt a culture, we also, by extension, adopt the philosophies embedded in that culture, and for better or worse, style and looking "fresh" is a baked-in philosophy of Hip Hop. At the height of my financial irresponsibility, I had over 100 pairs of sneakers and clothes to match them all. This irrational behaviour has extended well past my dancing days to this point as a [theoretical] adult, lol. I share, my plan, on taking the first major step of minimizing the sheer insane amount of clothes I own. This series is going to be sharing my journey of learning, building new habits, and setting expectations that I hope will have a positive ripple effect throughout all other areas of my life. I feel like I have a lot of clutter, both in my physical space, as well as in my head, and have, over the past few years, realized that one of the keys to happiness is simplicity; no drama, no complication. And although I think I'm on the right track, at least from a work and relationships perspective, I've always been someone who likes to collect things, buy things, and way-too-easily justify acquiring new things. Forget how wasteful it is from a personal financial standpoint, it's wasteful for society, and the world. Seeing dollar-store shelves really makes me wonder, who's making all this stuff? Who's buying all this stuff? How long is it used before it ends up in the trash can? I think, even from a selfish perspective, we should all consider the state of consumerism, how much money we spend, how to save money, how to stop shopping, to stop being wasteful, and simply considering and being conscious of everything we have, and how to build good habits. Knowing and being aware of everything we own might be a great place to start. It's where I'm starting and I can't wait to see what I learn!
