How can I motivate myself to donate items that have significant personal meaning in my life?
Donating or selling items that have an emotional or sentimental value is very challenging, especially when you are relocating. Everything in your life is changing and giving away possessions may seem like too much change.
One way to donate items that mean a lot to you is to offer them to friends and family. If you have a sofa bed that you love, but does not fit in your new home, donating it to someone you love would bring you comfort.
Sometimes donating clothes to Goodwill can feel impersonal. If you give away those clothes to friends, family members or co-workers, you will feel a lot better about parting with a sentimental item.
