Take inventory of the stuff in your home. Reflect: Does it bring you joy? Does it make your life better? When you brought it into your life, it may have served a purpose. But if it doesn’t anymore, get rid of it.

Over the years, you may have picked up defense mechanisms, habits, attitudes, or beliefs to help you plow through life. Every so often, it is worthwhile to do an inventory of your life and reflect on the usefulness of certain behaviors and attitudes.

Do you stress over small things? Do you deflect responsibility? Do you criticize?

Dump, dump, dump. And replace them with better habits that bring joy to you and those around you.

💖 Similarly, in marriage and relationships, it is important to periodically take inventory of your habits, attitudes, and behaviors and let go of those that no longer serve a purpose or bring joy to you and your partner, replacing them with healthier and more positive alternatives.
