Clearing space and getting organized is one of the top ten New Year’s resolutions that is often pushed aside by 
February. Why aren’t we successful at attaining this goal? The problem could be in our head. There are a few issues in there that need to be sorted out first. Once our head space is clear, it makes clearing our physical space so much easier.

Part One: Think about what you’re holding on to. Most often, closets are filled with items that served you well sometime in the past but aren’t serving you now. Clothes from another job, marriage or decade can ’t be expected
to serve you the same way in present time. You’re not the same person you were a year, three years or five years ago. Imagine a closet filled with just the clothes that suit you and your lifestyle right now.
Closets can be placeholders for ill-fitting clothes in sizes that bear no resemblance to your current perfect fit. Imagine opening your closet and everything in there fits you this week. Accept yourself as you are. Once you do that, it makes it easier to get rid of clothes that don’t fit and flatter your body. Do you hang on to things out of a sense of duty or obligation. Someone gave you a gift. It was well meaning but not suitable to you. A sister still insists on giving you her hand-me-downs even though your lifestyles are completely different. There are things you purchased yourself that were never right and you never wore them. It happens to everyone! Get it in your head that it’s okay to be surrounded by things that please you and to let other things go. Imagine living in 2016 with a closet full of clothes you love.
