I made a post last week about my new game called “Five every Five”, which was mainly a game to get myself motivated to decluttering again after a long while, and to actually know what I’m doing with all the stuff, as the game is based around selling the things you no longer want to open up new opportunities.

Here is a picture of my box which I have labelled “Alex’s eBay Box”, so that anything I don’t want anymore just goes into the box so that when I have a free afternoon I can go through the box and put it all for sale. Some of the bigger items I have go on Facebook Marketplace bc of shipping costs etc.

Here is a picture of what the stuff in the eBay box looks like once I’ve parcelled it all up and put it near my door ready to take to the post office once it’s sold.

This is what my wardrobe looks like now I have sold a lot of stuff again (yes I do class myself as a very extreme minimalist and that’s totally okay)

Left Side (I have 2 pairs of pants, one is in the wash & I’m wearing the other, and I’m wearing one shirt and one hoodie and this is the rest of my clothes apart from a a few pairs of socks and underwear in my bedside draw which rlly annoys me but still)

Right Side (i have nothing left to put here)

My eBay page is always looking this busy, sometimes it’s hard to stay organised with it all but, and I haven’t really stuck to my 5 every 5 rule, is I’ve sold like 28 things in 2 months, but that’s the things about games and challenges, to me there just a guideline to mainly start you up and get you motivated and if y’all wanna do more then what the challenge states then the more the merrier in this case.

I’ve been writing this post over a couple of days so sorry if all the numbers change and stuff, I always use to be scared at starting things at such low prices but I would rather they be out my life then hold onto them just because I wanted a few extra pounds for them, if the roles were reversed, I like getting bargains just as much as anyone does.

If this game/challenge has taught me anything it’s that don’t just hold onto stuff you no longer love because you spent a lot of money on it, holding onto it and letting it put a damper on your day is not going to get you your money back, learn to value happiness over meaningless money and just, let it go.

Always remember you may not love everything you have or do in life, but you gonna learn to love your life in all that you do, as it’s a part of you.
