Will I regret it or not? As far as feeling empty, I figure I can always fill that void with other less cluttered things; like a more functional piece of furniture or appliance to replace one that is not. It is amazing how you can feel when you have eye-break space in your house and know you don't have to manage or dust one more thing! And, when it becomes a habit...that feels good. Besides, when you focus on a few things, you can give them your all vs. trying to focus on many things; much harder to handle. Good luck CW! </p> http://unclutterer.com/discuss/topic/getting-past-anxietyfear#post-214 Wed, 18 Nov 2009 13:33:14 +0000 CW 214@http://unclutterer.com/discuss/ <p>Hi - when you think "how will I feel when I get through all of this clutter?", do you notice some anxiety or fear? Honestly, when I imagine my clutter gone, I imagine a great weight will be lifted, but I also fear it will just feel empty. Do you have similar anxiety/fear of change? I'm curious to hear from anyone else who has felt this and how they worked through it. Thanks. </p>
