I moved to Florida seventeen years ago.
At the time, I hired a moving company in lieu of renting a truck and driving my worldly possessions from Chicago.
The company charged by the amount of boxes or stuff I wanted to transport.
So, the more stuff I moved, the more I would pay.
This was an excellent motivation to purge anything that I didn’t love or use.
With each item, I asked myself, “Am I willing to pay to move this?” Both monetarily as well as in physical space it would take up in my new home.
That move mindset has stuck with me to this day.
I constantly strive to keep my home “move ready.”
If I moved tomorrow, everything in my home would be stuff I would be willing to PAY to take with me.
This mindset completely changes how I view my possessions.
Most of the time, we look at our home as storage space for our things. Our stuff technically fits, so why not keep it?
Because you don’t use it or love it. That’s why.
Just because you CAN store it, doesn’t mean you SHOULD.
This distinction is everything. It guides me daily on what I keep in my home.
Try this paradigm shift and see the difference a “Move Mindset” makes.
