If you notice the problems of hoarding yourself or your loved ones, it's time to act. Unnecessary things litter the entire space in the apartment, turning it into a storage room. Sometimes it is very difficult to part with unnecessary things, and the reason for this lies in psychological problems. If you can figure it out, it will save your loved one, well, or you, from internal contradictions, and the house will finally have the long-awaited order.
There are 4 types of Plyushkin
"This is for memory!"
This is Plyushkin's emotional type. The main feature is attachment to objects. The apartment is cluttered with a variety of memorabilia, for example, holiday souvenirs, magnets, bus tickets, postcards, etc. These things remind a person of someone or something, and the roads, like memory, are associated with certain life periods. Hyper sentimentality prevents a person from living. But it is better to accumulate memories, impressions, and not things. It is worth breaking the link between memories, experiences and material objects.
If it's hard to get rid of this stuff, pick it up, stroke it, mentally say goodbye, and let it go. Memory is memory, but your apartment is not rubber, you cannot turn it into a storage of memorabilia!
"I'll throw it away, only later!"
This is an inert type of hoarding. The main feature is indiscipline. This Plyushkin keeps things in the apartment that were purchased for specific endeavors. Let's say an easel with paints, a fishing rod, a guitar, etc. There was a desire, a thing appeared, but it never went beyond that.
The lack of self-organization leads a person to become inert Plyushkin, who builds whole towers around himself from completely unnecessary objects. It is important for a start to understand that interest in a particular occupation, thanks to which some thing appeared in the house, has completely faded away. And you will never want to learn to play the guitar, paint, or start fishing seriously again! Find the strength to say goodbye to things if they have been “living” in your house for more than six months. You will definitely not use them anymore, and if you still need something, you can buy it again.
"I paid so much for this!"
The third type of Plyushkin is zealous. The main feature is greed or stinginess. You keep the junk you don't need, because 5 years ago you paid a tidy sum for it, and you are so sorry to part with it. There is a kind of obsession with keeping things. The most obsessed Plyushkin of this type even have toys from their childhood.
It is important to realize that there is no happiness in turning your home into a real museum. Excessive things only worsen the quality of life, taking up a large amount of space. Don't be afraid to part with unnecessary things, even if they cost a lot of money. If you do not use them, that already says it all. So that you are not finally strangled by the "toad", sell them on the Internet! So you get rid of the trash, and earn money!
"It will still be useful to me!"
Pragmatic type of Plyushkin. When it is a pity to part with a thing, because there is a conviction that someday it may be useful to you. Here the passion for collecting is an end in itself. Remains of expensive wallpaper, building materials, broken equipment, dresses "for a special occasion", expired products, clothes left over from a baby, expired cosmetics!
In this case, it is worth learning to live in the present, not the future. It is necessary to conduct a thorough analysis of things, to throw something out, to sell something, and to understand, finally, that all this is useless rubbish.
