Spring Cleaning Guilt

spring cleaning with slow life revolution

Do you have a lot of products cluttering up your bathroom? I always end up with 50 different soaps and lotions I want to get rid of, but when the amount of stuff you own is overwhelming, how do you get rid of anything? ⁠

You either feel guilty for having it or guilty for throwing it away.⁠

But the guilt is from a thought we have that we shouldn't have so much stuff or we shouldn't waste. But then we get sucked into buying more at Target or from an Instagram ad. ⁠

So how do we move past this guilt and actually do something about it? ⁠

We face the guilt down, we process it, and we still do what is best for us! ⁠

Don't let the guilt from having 50 soaps you want to get rid of, prevent you from simplifying your life. ⁠

And guilt can lead us to consume more (which makes us feel more guilt and for more things to be in our house or, ultimately, the landfill - which creates more guilt)⁠

So what do we do? We consume less in the first place!⁠

And that starts with using up what you have now or giving/throwing it away, and then consume INTENTIONALLY when you actually need something, not when you feel bad or guilty and want a product to feel better about yourself.⁠

Who knew spring cleaning was so in depth?!⁠
