after 5 years on my minimalism Journey I've realized that there's always more to learn and let go of as the holiday shopping season approaches I'm reminded

在我極簡主義之旅的5年後，我意識到總有更多的東西要學習和放下。隨著假日購物季的臨近，我想起了

of this simple truth we need far less than we think to live rich and fulfilling lives so today I'm challenging myself to comb through every

這個簡單的真理：我們需要的遠少於我們想象的，就能過上豐富而充實的生活。所以今天我要挑戰自己，仔細梳理每一個

inch of our minimalist home to see just how much I'm still unnecessarily holding on to looking back I used to be that girl at Forever 21 scouring every single

我們極簡主義家的每一寸地方，看看我仍然不必要地保留了多少東西。回顧過去，我曾經是那個在Forever 21的女孩，翻遍每一個

rack looking High and low to see just how many items I could buy with the money that I had my selfworth was tied to my clothes and my possessions but

衣架，上下尋找，看看我能用我有的錢買多少件物品。我的自我價值與我的衣服和財產聯絡在一起，但

embracing the less is more philosophy changed everything for me I began to see my possessions for what they truly are just things that we often overvalue and

擁抱"少即是多"的哲學為我改變了一切。我開始看到我的財產的真實面目，只是我們經常高估的東西，

while decluttering is a physical process it's the inner transformation that draws me back each time it's a shedding of not just items but also the habits and

雖然整理是一個物理過程，但每次吸引我回來的是內在的轉變。這不僅是物品的捨棄，也是習慣和

mindsets of my former self that hold me back from living in true alignment with my values so let's find out together how my perspective has shifted towards the

我過去自我的心態的捨棄，這些阻礙我與我的價值觀真正一致地生活。所以讓我們一起發現，自從我上次家庭整理以來，我對

things that I own since my last home declutter and just how much I'm willing to let go of this time around we've lived in this condo for almost 3 years

我擁有的東西的看法如何轉變，以及這次我願意放下多少。我們在這個公寓裡住了快3年了

now and over that time I've decluttered extensively but it hasn't always been a smooth journey I love to organize and for a good chunk of time when we first

現在，在那段時間裡，我進行了大量的整理，但這並不總是一颿風順的旅程。我喜歡整理，在我們第一次

moved in I convinced myself that all of my organiz ization efforts meant something good but eventually I realized that there was one reason why I was

搬進來的時候，我有一段時間說服自己，我所有的整理努力都意味著一些好的事情，但最終我意識到有一個原因讓我

stuck in the cycle of reorganizing the same space every few months we had too much stuff I declutter a handful of items every so often but never enough to

陷入每隔幾個月重新整理同一空間的迴圈：我們東西太多了。我時不時地整理一些物品，但從來不夠

make a lasting impact and then I'd resort to Old spending habits and excuses I was still holding on to a lot of beliefs about the things that I owned

產生持久的影響，然後我會回到舊的消費習慣和藉口。我仍然對我擁有的東西抱有很多信念

but this realization was a turning point so I started to declutter more intentionally questioning the value and necessity of each item in our home and

但這個認識是一個轉折點。所以我開始更有意識地整理，質疑我們家中每件物品的價值和必要性，

over time this process transformed our living space from rooms with excess items hidden within we've gradually created a more open breathable environment but the question remains

隨著時間的推移，這個過程將我們的生活空間從隱藏著多餘物品的房間轉變，我們逐漸創造了一個更開放、更通風的環境。但問題仍然存在：

Even in our minimalist home is there still more to let go of as you discover the excess that still remains in my own home I encourage you to think about your

即使在我們極簡主義的家中，是否還有更多要放下的？當你發現我家中仍然存在的多餘物品時，我鼓勵你以同樣的方式思考你的

belongings in the same way I spent 4 hours meticulously going through every drawer cabinet and container in our home to get a clear picture of how much we

物品。我花了4個小時仔細地檢查我們家裡的每個抽屜、櫃子和容器，以清楚地瞭解我們

still own and which items we might be ready to let go of as I did this I asked myself three crucial questions number one why am I keeping this what value

仍然擁有多少，以及哪些物品我們可能準備好放下了。當我這樣做時，我問了自己三個關鍵問題。第一，我為什麼保留這個？它有什麼價值

does it add to my life and would I miss it if it were gone it was pretty eye openening to see just how much we still

它給我的生活增加了什麼？如果它消失了，我會想念它嗎？看到我們在之前的整理之後仍然

owned after those previous decluttering sessions and the pile of decluttered items kept growing with each new room that I entered I went through each room

擁有多少東西，這真是令人大開眼界。整理出來的物品堆隨著我進入的每個新房間而不斷增長。我逐個房間

methodically starting with the kitchen where I found over 30 items to get rid of that we rarely used and were filling a space just because it was available as

有條不紊地檢查，從廚房開始，我在那裡發現了30多件要處理掉的物品，我們很少使用，只是因為空間可用就填滿了空間。當

I went through the bathroom after realizing that I did not in fact need all five of my hair brushes and a curling iron that I never use the total

我檢查完浴室後，意識到我實際上並不需要我所有的五把梳子和一把我從未使用過的捲髮棒。總數

count of decluttered items Rose to about 40 within my bedroom were the most opportunities for in excess namely in our top drawer where a pile of purse

整理物品的數量上升到大約40件。在我的臥室裡有最多的多餘機會，特別是在我們的頂層抽屜裡，一堆錢包

junk had accumulated that and about 30 to 40 clothing items that I was keeping as part of my capsule wardrobe perhaps a bit naively thinking that I might

垃圾已經堆積起來，還有大約30到40件衣服，我保留它們作為我的膠囊衣櫥的一部分，也許有點天真地認為我可能

comfortably fit into them again someday soon a lot of them I had also kept because I was holding on to a previous version of myself one whose way of

很快就能再次舒適地穿上它們。其中很多我也保留了，因為我還在堅持以前的自己，一個穿著方式

dressing does not really align with my current lifestyle as a mom I don't feel as comfortable in those particular items and they just don't work for me in the

與我現在的生活方式不太一致。作為一個媽媽，我在那些特定的物品中感覺不太舒服，它們在

same way on a day-to-day basis therefore they're rarely ever used letting go of these clothes was a mix of relief and acceptance within the storage closet and

日常基礎上對我也不起作用。因此，它們很少被使用。放下這些衣服是一種解脫和接受的混合。在儲藏室和

living room were about 25 more items that I got rid of and many of them were kept just in case or due to the fact

客廳裡，我處理掉了大約25件物品，其中很多隻是因為"以防萬一"或因為

that we had spent a good amount of money on them the familiar weight of what if I need this later tugged at me but I

我們在它們身上花了很多錢而保留的。"如果我以後需要這個怎麼辦"的熟悉重量拉扯著我，但我

reminded myself of previous decluttering successes and I just pushed past that thought by by the end of this challenge I was ready to say goodbye to over 100

提醒自己之前的整理成功，我只是推過了那個想法。到這個挑戰結束時，我準備告別100多件

items this declutter felt different more intentional and more freeing it proved to me that there's always room for growth and it also demonstrated that the

物品。這次整理感覺不同，更有意識，更自由。它向我證明，總有成長的空間，它也表明

pursuit for a simpler life is a Perpetual cycle of self-reflection and letting go the less physical possessions that I own the less I seem to desire

追求更簡單的生活是一個永久的自我反思和放下的迴圈。我擁有的物質財產越少，我似乎就越少渴望

material Goods life gets a little clearer every time and in letting go of excess I gain more freedom to pursue what truly matters and if this is

物質商品。生活每次都會變得更清晰一點，在放下多餘的東西時，我獲得了更多追求真正重要事物的自由。如果這是

something that you desire for yourself I have a lot of other videos where I share other ways to simplify your life so I'm going to link that playlist above for
