Don't save things for best
I’m not sure about you but I have always been one of those people that saves things for best. I am talking everything -I'm not just talking dresses that I may buy for a special occasion but everything. Alongside my mind, I’m starting to cleanse my surroundings and I realize that I have so much stuff that I have never used/ wore because I was saving them for a special time.
I have drawers full of lotions and potions that I have either bought or been giving for free, the drawer of dreams they call this. All those skincare regimes you hoped you would adopt when you bought the most expensive cleansers and moisturizers and now they just sit in a drawer collecting dust. I also have so many clothes that I have never wore, I remember getting them out of the wardrobe to wear and thinking I don't think this is the best occasion for me to wear this new item, I’ll save it for a better one, Why?!! I should wear them for both, I should wear it a hundred times if I feel like it. What has happened now is I have a wardrobe full of clothes that are not only too big for me but I don't even like them anymore, why didn't I enjoy them at the time... because I saved them for best, it's ridiculous really, what a waste!
It's the same with presents that I have been given. I am so worried that I will lose the lovely bracelet or that the beautiful Jo Malone candle will burn away too quickly that I haven't enjoyed them and now I have drawers full of beautiful unused things.
So this week, I am going to start discovering all the things that I have hidden away and start using them and make myself feel great and if I really don't think I will wear/use it, I am going to give them to someone else or to charity so someone else can enjoy them.
Please don't save things for best.... go on, have a look through the drawers and it will feel like Christmas all over again.....
