Downsize to a richer, happier life

Rita Angus Retirement Village

What do you want to do with your life? Would you like to travel, downsize, have more money and more free time? Do you ever feel like your stuff holds you back, but the thought of decluttering just seems too hard? If so, you’re not alone.

What do you want to do with your life? Would you like to travel, downsize, have more money and more free time? Do you ever feel like your stuff holds you back, but the thought of decluttering just seems too hard? If so, you’re not alone.

This is the first of a series of articles dedicated to helping you to downsize, declutter and rightsize your life, brought to you by Ryman Healthcare in conjunction with decluttering expert Peter Walsh.
When helping people to declutter, Peter never starts by focusing on the stuff itself. Every item in your home has a story, so the first step is to think about what that story is.

Maybe you’re thinking about downsizing as you approach retirement but still have all the artwork and toys and books that belonged to your now adult children, and don’t know what to do with them. Perhaps letting go of that old sports equipment means letting go of a vision you had of yourself that no longer fits who you are. Maybe you’re holding onto heirlooms you have no use for because you want to keep the memory of the person alive.

No matter what your situation is, it’s easier to declutter and downsize if you start by identifying the feelings that underlie your attachment to your stuff before tackling the stuff itself.

Just been watching the TV news predicting that Wellington is going to be suffering severe water shortages in the coming summer months.
And I'm wondering, why is the WCC spending so much time, money and resources on digging up and replacing perfectly good gutters in Island Bay (and other suburbs). They've been doing this work literally for months in Beramphore and Island Bay. And the old gutters appear to be in quite good if not very good condition.
Why are they not using this time, money and resources fixing our water infrastructure???
I don't understand. Is it just me wondering this????

Kia Ora,
📆 Still on the lookout for a house/pet/plants sitting opportunity from mid December to early January (flexible dates).
🐈I used to housesit one of my friend’s place in Hataitai who also had a cat and plants to care for. I am a responsible gal, tidy, clean, and respectful of rules and places. I obviously love pets and being active so if you have any furry friends it would be my pleasure to take them for their walks/run or swims. 🦮🌱
⭐️ If you're planning a holiday, reach out and I'll ensure your home and furry friends remain in great hands.
Feel free to message me if you or someone you know might need a house or pet sitter. Cheers!
🏡 Preferably looking for house sitting close to town (Hataitai, Kilbirnie, Miramar suburbs since I don’t have a car yet)
