Werner Küstenmacher: Getting rid of trash. Simple practices for finding harmony and inner order. Kyustenmacher V.: Getting rid of trash. Simple practices for finding harmony and inner order Getting rid of trash simple practices

), we have a minimalist author (a book once and twice), and this is a workbook book from a German author. And now I really liked it, because the exercises in it are not stupid lists of "throw out expired cosmetics and products", "collect 17 extra gizmos and throw them out too", "wash the sink", but rather such tasks to think about.

Published on high quality thick paper, the book is pleasant to hold in your hands.

The exercises are divided into different levels of difficulty, and are presented in the table of contents as follows:

And personally, they made me think more and get rid of a couple of shelves of already read books and a hefty bag of rags. Yes, maybe in Russia the level of waste recycling is not yet so high, but some moves and methods can be found. And it's motivating.

I liked the tasks for choosing the seven most important things in different situations, the suggestions to think about how some things turn out to be unused at all, and the rules for buying.

Scientists have proven that parting with trash is as difficult for some people as quitting smoking. Moreover, those who are prone to hoarding react to cleaning up unnecessary things with genuine heartache. Therefore, psychologists have developed a strategy that will help you stop becoming attached to things and force any junk collector to clean up the house.

We are in website We decided to understand these tips and convey their essence to you. And in the end, we will tell you how to live with a person who is not used to throwing anything away.

Why "decluttering" is so difficult

To begin with, it should be noted that not all people become attached to things. There are those who easily part with rubbish and maintain order in the house, and there are those who endow every thing with a “soul”, for him throwing away is akin to betrayal.

The differences between these people are proven from the point of view of psychology. Scientists have found that when the "collector" has to throw away his things, parts of the brain are activated in his head, associated with pain, as well as the ventromedial prefrontal cortex, which associated with a moral assessment of ethical conflicts and a sense of "self".

Because of this, people not only relate the thing to their goals and desires, subconsciously believing that it will still be useful, but not at all consider certain things to be part of themselves. Therefore, throwing something away for such people, psychologists say, is the same as giving up a finger on a hand.

Mindfulness technique

This technique will help people who are prone to gathering, start throwing out unnecessary things. It is noteworthy that it is also recommended to people seeking to get rid of bad habits.

Its essence is to be attentive to your instincts and find the difference between real motivation and the "trick" that our brain gives us. Next, we will take a closer look at how to introduce this technique into your life.

Step 1. The rule of several seconds

Trying to save a potentially useless item again, take your time and wait a few seconds. Consider the real value of the item.

Think about how many times lately you have thought about throwing this item away. How many times during this time did he benefit? Convince yourself of the uselessness of the subject.

Step 2: Explore Temptation

Watch your feelings when you need to throw something away. Usually, temptation begins with an almost imperceptible signal and grows to the level of real anxiety and anxiety.

Almost all children have the habit of endowing objects with a "soul", seeing them as a person. According to experiments, children do not realize that their favorite toy and exactly the same toy, only new, are one and the same. Because the new object is just a thing, and the object that belongs to them is a part of their consciousness.

Some carry this feature into adulthood. Freezing for a few seconds in a rush to leave an unnecessary object, remember that he is not unique (these are stamped at a hundred per hour), your memories associated with him are unique. And even if the item is thrown away, the memories will not disappear from it.

Rethinking material value

This refers to a separate type of collectors. These people can't throw things away because remember how much they paid for them. In this case, to "declutter", unnecessary things can be put up for sale.

And if no one wants to buy them, it means that it is time to forget about money: these items have depreciated long ago.

Mess warning

If you are a hoarder, try not to buy things that clutter up your home.

• Do not bring useless souvenirs from vacation.
• Ask your friends not to give you gifts for the holidays Stuffed Toys.
• Get e-book not to buy into large quantities paper.
• Don't buy things you don't need: do not pay attention to low prices, do not buy goods, imitating other people, do not buy things that you have not thought about purchasing until now.

Some act much more radically: they throw away unnecessary things secretly from the collector, who most often does not even notice the loss. But here, how does one's conscience allow.

Tell me, have you ever lived with a person who never throws away unnecessary things? How did you deal with the problem? Or maybe you yourself cannot sometimes force yourself to part with certain items? What emotions do you experience? Write about it in the comments.
