@NatureLover  I think that having no numbers would possibly mean most of the traits would be gone which is probably why I haven't managed to go that far on my own yet. Safety net.

 

I'm not sure how it would feel to simply leave the house. Baby steps. 

I mentioned downsizing before?  I live in a converted double garage aka granny flat now so only one room plus bathroom/laundry combo.  Because my stuff was in storage I was able to part with loads of it when moving in here and have managed not to gain more.  As it's an open space I do keep it clean and clear although I'm not a minimalist by any stretch of the imagination.  Everything has a place and it brings me a lot of satisfaction to see everything in its own place.  I even did more decluttering before my surgery.. things I hadn't touched since moving in here that I thought I needed but obviously if I haven't touched after a year I don't. Not easy but I was super proud of myself afterwards and don't regret it. It does get easier each time... just so you know.
