WHEN TO RETURN AN ITEM

WHEN SHOULD YOU RETURN SOMETHING YOU’VE BOUGHT?

• If you’ve had an item for longer than 7 days and have NOT used it, it’s a safe bet it is returnable. This is because … when we have something new that we LOVE we can’t wait to use it. If you haven’t used/worn something within 7 days you either don’t need it or you don’t love it.

• If you don’t have anywhere to wear an item. I hear a lot of, “if I go to…” “If” isn’t real life, boo boo. Stop throwing your money away on fantasy events you’ve made up with your imagination.

• If it’s clothing and you can NOT Rule of 5 it, RETURN!

• If you bring a new item into your home, place it in your closet, on a counter, never take it out your car trunk and you forget you even bought it. Take it back to the store RIGHT NOW!

Essentially, if you don’t immediately wear or use an item (I’m giving you 7 to 14 days) that means it doesn’t serve a purpose in your life. If an item doesn’t serve a purpose there is absolutely no reason to keep it. Your life is way too precious and special to have anything or anyone in it that doesn’t serve a purpose.

Look at it this way, objects and material items that don’t serve a purpose or bring us joy are clutter. Clutter disturbs and disrupts our peace, it clutters not only our physical life but our minds and spirit as well.

You wouldn’t keep a person in your life disrupting your peace, would you?

Why would you keep material objects in your life that clutter your spirit?

Trust me, the amount of material objects in our lives and homes makes a big difference in our mental state.
