Stop Holding On To The Past
Any psychologist will tell you that holding on to the past is unhealthy. It can have a detrimental effect on your mental and physical health. The same is true of holding on to rubbish and clutter at home. Waste takes up space in your home, making it impossible to move around. That’s what I tried to tell my Auntie Vera. She had a nice little flat, but it was so cluttered, she could hardly move about. When I suggested skip hire, she wasn’t pleased.
Memories are Precious, Rubbish is Not
I explained to her that removing the clutter wouldn’t mean getting rid of the past. It would make the past more accessible. Why keep a pile of newspapers so she could read about her children’s achievements at sports? She could put those clippings in an album. Meanwhile, she could get rid of that huge pile of newspapers. Skip hire from Clearabee was the solution, I told her.
Clearabee Bee Bags – an Alternative to Skip Hire
In the end, skip hire wasn’t necessary. Auntie Vera didn’t have a lot of heavy rubbish. Clearabee Bee Bags provided the perfect solution. We sat together and sorted out everything. She had a lot of drawers filled with useless clutter. Sbe became quite excited at the idea of having her drawers empty again. We cut those precious clippings from the newspapers and kept them aside, to paste them into an album at a later date.
Pieces of String
I hadn’t realised she’d been holding on to old clothes for years. Some of them were in very good condition, but she wouldn’t wear them again. After deciding to hold on to a few much-loved pieces, she was happy to put them into the Clearabee Bee Bag and say goodbye to them forever. She was really happy, thinking about the space she would now have in her cupboards. Auntie Vera is one of those people who grew up with a scarcity mentality. She held onto things like pieces of string on the grounds that you’d never know when they might come in useful. The result was a huge amount of clutter in drawers and boxes all over the flat.
A New Flat
Auntie Vera didn’t recognise her flat. It was the day after Clearabee removed the rubbish she had amassed over the years. ‘It’s like I have a new flat,’ she said. “There’s so much space. It’s wonderful.” It was as if a burden had been lifted from her shoulders. Letting go of the past had allowed this elderly lady to and move into her next phase with confidence. That’s exactly how it should be. Whether you resort to skip hire or not.
