Having too much stuff, Doesn't necessarily improve the quality of your life. Instead, it can dampen it. It's important to declutter things you aren't using regularly to improve your quality of life.
It Can Be Harder For You To Get A Job
Having your home jammed packed with stuff, Causes a lot of issues. It may be harder for you to get a job.
Why?
Because you can't pack up and move very easily, If you need to leave the area you are in. Even if you've been working at the same company for years and years. Our daily life is quickly changing, and at any moment you may be looking for a new job.
Your Old Items Can Help Another Person.
Some of your old stuff Can Have a big impact on another person's life. You don't have to keep everything. Instead, you can give it away to others. Which will make them much happier?
Having So Much Stuff Makes You Less Flexible.
You may not realize how much stuff can hurt you Until you run into an awkward situation where you can't leave without your stuff.
Have you ever overpacked for a trip? You were probably the one struggling the most, Because of all of your things. You may have found that you only used half the items you brought with you, While the other items were left unused in your suitcase. Going through the Airport security, and getting onto the plane was probably super inconvenient. Or even if you just went on a road trip That extra stuff takes up space in the car.
This is a good example of how owning too much in the home can make your life harder. You can't run through your home as easily Because you have less space. You are forced to live in a larger environment then others with similar lifestyles than you, All because of your stuff.

- We tend to get so comfortable in our routines that we don't realize that we are in a rut until we are dragged out of it. This is why it's important to practice mindfulness to ensure we are doing things properly. When we notice things quickly. We can change them.
I love the quote, " The difference between a rut, and a Grave is 5 feet. "
When you are in a rut, it's easy to "step out of it" But if you let things get worse you can end up at rock bottom very quickly.
