I recently watched a video clip on minimalism, which is a way of living that I have been wanting to adopt for some time now. My parents are hoarders (seriously, watch the show "Hoarders" and you'll see some approximation of how I grew up). I think that the chaos that has surrounded me as affected my mental state, and exacerbated my anxiety. What is difficult is getting to the point where I am not overwhelmed. I have a lot of stuff (physical possessions, electronic stuff, like emails and such, and thoughts) that are cluttering up my life. I spent almost two hours cleaning this morning, and feel decent about my progress. I got rid of a few things, which is a good start, but I worry that I will not continue with this, and I will stay overwhelmed.
