Keep What You Love, Store What You Need, Let Go of the Rest

Alan Storage from Kiwi Self Storage - Newlands

The phrase "Keep What You Love, Store What You Need, Let Go of the Rest" is a guiding principle for decluttering and simplifying one's life. It encourages intentionality in keeping possessions, focusing on what is truly cherished, practically useful, and letting go of what is not. This philosophy can be applied to various aspects of life, including physical possessions, relationships, and even past experiences.

Applying the principle:

Keep What You Love:
This involves identifying items that hold significant sentimental value or are truly cherished and used regularly. These are the items that bring joy and add value to your life.

Store What You Need:
This refers to items that are necessary for daily life or occasional use but don't necessarily evoke strong emotions. These can be stored in a way that is accessible when needed but doesn't clutter the living space.

Let Go of the Rest:
This involves parting with items that are no longer needed, used, or loved. This can include items that are broken, outdated, or simply cluttering up space. Letting go can be freeing and allows for a more minimalist and organized environment.

Benefits of adopting this principle:

Reduced Clutter:
By letting go of unnecessary items, you can create a more organized and visually appealing living space.

Increased Clarity:
Simplifying your surroundings can lead to a clearer mind and reduced stress.

More Freedom:
Fewer possessions can mean less time spent cleaning, organizing, and managing belongings, allowing for more freedom to pursue other interests.

Stronger Relationships:
Applying this principle to relationships can involve prioritizing meaningful connections and letting go of toxic or draining relationships.

Growth and Transformation:
By letting go of past mistakes and regrets, you can create space for personal growth and a more positive outlook on the future.

Secure your homes over summer

The Team from New Zealand Police

Police are reminding people to keep their homes secure during the summer months.

Inspector Glenda Barnaby, Christchurch Area Prevention manager, says daytime burglaries are just as common as nightime burglaries.
“Burglaries can be committed at any time of the day, and coming into warmer months there is more opportunity for thieves."
"Although a majority of burglaries involve forced entry through windows and doors, we are starting to see more incidents at insecure premises. Police deal with cases where burglaries are committed in broad daylight, sometimes even while the victim is at home. Good weather means open doors and windows, which makes homes more vulnerable to burglars.”

Inspector Barnaby says there’s a few things people can do to reduce their changes of a burglary being committed.
⚠️ If you’re going outside for gardening, relaxing in the sun, or working in the garage, take a moment to lock your doors and secure your windows first.
⚠️ Do the same at night when you go to bed - keep your doors and windows secure and close your curtains. Fitting window stays means you can get a breeze coming through, while keeping your windows secure.
⚠️ Get to know your neighbours - let them know if you’re going away and look out for one another.”

If you see any suspicious activity, people or vehicles in your neighbourhood, don't hesitate to contact Police.
If you witness or suspect any illegal activity, please call 111 if it is happening now, or make a report through 105 either online or over the phone, if it is after the fact.
