Decluttering gives me a mission and a purpose. Once it is done, I feel sad due to the loss of purpose. The answer is to fill the void with something healthy, as you said. We decluttered a room in our house that had extra furniture that we did not need. We cleared it all out, sold or donated the furniture, and put our fitness equipment in the room. Now it is a nice little home gym that my husband and I can use together to exercise. We exercise more now that we have a dedicated space to do it.

Thank you for Sharing your experience that Sounds amazing and it is wonderful how we improve our lives through minimalism 🤗

Great video topic. Wether you’re a shopaholic or decluttering like a mad woman…. Dopamine gets released.

I sometimes fantasize that everything in my rooms is completely empty….would I feel content? No. Then what?

Me, too, I have to admit 🤣 sometimes I think I won‘t stop until I am there… and yes, maybe to find out - that isn‘t it. Maybe This is Just a process, a search (to freedom?) and we are learning as we go… I think it has a meaning to it anyway! ☺️

Love this comment by the way 🙏

I wonder if decluttering gives a positive feeling, and then you're left with that boredom feeling, so you declutter some more, but you're wondering how much more you can declutter to keep feeling good again and again. I've heard that a good way to avoid depression is to find a way to help someone else with some kind of volunteering. What do you think?

Yeah that is kinda What it feels like sometimes. Decluttering makes me extremely happy but I think the hard Part in life is to not always Distract yourself… that Sounds like a good Plan but I think there are Many More and different ways to „heal“ Depression. We probably all have to find out for ourselves What that is for us / the individual.
