I can't part with stuff!?! What's going on in our brain...

"I'm decluttering at a snail's pace." "I feel like I've been getting rid of stuff forever but don't see progress." "What am I doing wrong?" "Why is it so hard for me and easy for other people?" -- We hear all of these SO often! It's not you-- it's your brain! We've been hard wired to gather! But don't worry, we can work past it, we just need to ask the right questions in regards to our stuff :) Printable Questions: https://cli.re/Printable-Questions :: OUR AMAZON STOREFRONT :: https://www.amazon.com/shop/minimalmom :: Thank you for your support! :: N E E D M O R E S U P P O R T ? :: We have two ways to get more decluttering help: The Minimal Mom Private Membership Group https://cli.re/minimal-mom-private-group Take Your House Back Course https://www.takeyourhouseback.com :: T I M E S T A M P S :: 00:00 Why can't I declutter faster? 00:26 Reason 1: The Endowment Effect 01:48 Our Experience with Inflating Value 03:16 Reason 2: Sunk Cost Bias 04:14 Reason 3: How we were Raised 05:10 Reason 4: Emotional Capacity 05:35 How to work past the Endowment Effect 07:05 Ask this question instead for Sunk Cost Bias 09:35 One Question for Sentimental Items 11:28 You aren't alone! :: P O P U L A R O N T H E B L O G R I G H T N O W :: Awesome Bundt Cake Recipes: https://cli.re/bundt-cakes Make a Bundt Cake Gift Basket with Printable Recipe Card: https://cli.re/bundt-cake-gift-basket EASY & Cheap DIY Photo Canvas (Make this for under $5!): https://cli.re/diy-gift-for-kids Transitioning baby from co-sleeping to crib: https://cli.re/co-sleeping-to-crib Bacon Guacamole Grilled Cheese: https://cli.re/bacon-guacamole-grilled-cheese Self-Watering Herb Garden: https://cli.re/self-watering-herb Best Remedy to Stop a Cold: https://cli.re/cold-remedy Minimalist Meal Planning with Printable: https://cli.re/meal-planning :: C U R R E N T L Y R E A D I N G :: "Get Your Life Back" by John Eldredge: https://amzn.to/32M6I4k Breathing Through Foster Care: https://amzn.to/3qpHjpv Essentialism: https://amzn.to/2Ow3Cgk Favorite Decluttering Book "Decluttering at the Speed of Life" by Dana White (A Slob Comes Clean): https://amzn.to/3cgHSNh :: LISTEN FOR FREE ON AUDIBLE :: https://amzn.to/2ItCr2f 🖤 FACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/minimalmom/ 🖤 INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/the.minimal.mom/ M O S T P O P U L A R O N O U R B L O G R I G H T N O W : Pumpkin Spice Bundt Cake: https://cli.re/pumpkin-spice-bundt-cake Super Easy Peach Cobbler: https://cli.re/peach-cobbler Transitioning baby from co-sleeping to crib: https://cli.re/co-sleeping-to-crib DIY Self Watering Herb Garden: https://cli.re/self-watering-herb BEST Chocolate Sour Cream Bundt Cake: https://cli.re/chocolate-bundt #minimalism #familyminimalism #minimalist M O S T P O P U L A R V I D E O S R I G H T N O W : 57 Things We No Longer Buy: https://youtu.be/jTX02y0nJBw How to Declutter WITHOUT Making a Mess: https://youtu.be/7yQqvQ99MVw FAVORITE Productivity Tip (ever!!): https://youtu.be/bgXA2PE2zzw Eliminate Paper Clutter Video Part 1: https://youtu.be/wdX-aj9LQ2Y Organize Paper Clutter Video Part 2: https://youtu.be/sWzboHYxwhk THE TRICK TO SIMPLIFY YOUR KITCHEN QUICKLY: https://youtu.be/0t1ulgDtoDA KITCHEN TOUR : https://youtu.be/mHQQWHuWh0Q MY MEAL PLANNING SYSTEM VIDEO : https://youtu.be/31ZfV3IzqJs 📺 P O P U L A R R E L A T E D: Why I became a Minimalist: https://youtu.be/m7IyvfXanFI The Best Place to Start with Minimalism: https://youtu.be/Gh7UiYnxDzc What to do when You get STUCK: https://youtu.be/c9YMz-9ZydQ Video FAQ: https://youtu.be/b-_vat5Pd9I **AFFILIATE LINKS!
