Decluttering is meant to feel freeing but when guilt creeps in, it can quickly do the opposite. I know that stuck feeling well, standing in front of one of the many overstuffed cupboards in my house, fully aware that something needs to go, yet feeling bad about making that decision.
Whether it's the cost, the sentiment or the worry about waste, guilt is often the reason mess lingers in our homes, as it feels extra hard to get rid of emotional clutter.
