Here is a tip for getting the message across with integrity. It’s not fun to hear someone tell us no, so we hesitate to do it ourselves. We don’t like to disappoint anyone primarily because we don’t want to be disappointed ourselves. Unfortunately, rejection is challenging to deliver. We need to clear that clutter so we can say “yes” to the things that matter most to us and do a great job with the commitments we make. One more decluttering suggestion related to relationships, routine, and activities is finding a way to say “no” more instead of being rushed and overloaded with too many commitments that do not allow us to be our best selves. The quicker we can drive through the time needed with the folks who tend to bring us down, the more time we’ll have to surround ourselves with the type of relationships that support us in moving forward. With recognition, we can instead focus our energy with confidence to our positive attributes, goals, and tasks at hand. We can, however, limit our exposure and be extra conscious of their adverse effect on our attitude and behaviors. In our workplaces, it is more difficult to cut these people out of our daily lives. We often spend time with people who "prevent us from being the best versions of ourselves." If you can, gracefully shift your routine, so your paths do not cross as often, or at all. Canfield says, “ Release them with gratitude, and enjoy the space that opens up in your life when they’re gone.” Some nostalgia may be healthy, but excess is only distracting you and crowding out opportunities to welcome new and more relevant things into your life. The point is to clear your space of old, broken, and unused items that no longer serve a meaningful purpose in YOUR life. Tossing includes, of course, recycling and giving to someone who might be in need.

If you aren’t taking advantage of something you are paying for, declutter your expenses by calling to cancel.
