Last year (and the year before) I reversed the hangers in my closet so I could see what I actually wore. Today I went in my closet, found the hangers that weren’t reversed and put those clothes in a donate bag.
Part of me actually thought, “But what if you wear it? Or need it?”
Even after a year.
Later today I was driving home and thought, “What if I tried to not buy anything new and just used up what I had this year?”
All the stuff - it holds a grip. That’s what I realized this year. Everytime I let go - of stuff or emotions or resentment or fear or things - it makes space.
Space for opportunities.
Space to think.
Space.
So yeah, that’s one of the lessons from the reversed closet hangers.
Try it.
It’s actually empowering. And revealing. (I tend to wear the same things….and don’t “need” all I have.)
Lessons from 2024 and 2025.

Ps… if you haven’t tried it — you reverse all of your hangers and then when you wear something you put it back the “correct” way. Then you get a visual of what you actually wear.
