My inner Buddha is fahrklempt!

I am on a voyage to space, the final frontier – in my closet.  What I crave to have in my possession is space.  Less stuff, less options, less stress.

I have to tell you about this fabelhaft challenge I just discovered:

Can you live with just six things in your closet for 30 days? Lingerie and shoes not included.

Some people who have attempted this have stumbled upon some surprising insights.  One woman was delighted to realize that she really didn’t need everything in her closet.  Another woman was slightly annoyed that her husband didn’t even notice she was wearing the same six pieces for 30 days.  I liked the guy who found a creative approach to the challenge – reversible shorts!

As you know, I am all about less so this sort of lifestyle overhaul is just the kind of thing I was looking for.  I especially like the forgiveness clause about shoes.  But really, think about what this can reveal about you, your relationship with your stuff and your buying habits.

How much of what you own owns you?

What six things are important to you?
