Well, I really didn’t have too many things that I “loved” or had sentimental value. Those things I kept, but they were pretty small (like a paperweight my dad had made in clear resin of 1963 fresh from the mint coins). But my couch, for example, was just a couch, bed was just a bed. They were from furniture chains. They were fine, but it was just as well to give them away, along with their old energy. And things like that Rocksmith guitar and old CDs were just taking up space, both physical and mental. So there was a lot of benefit to getting rid of them, plus I even got a little cash in return.
There might not be any reason to clear your garage, but maybe if you started going through it over a weekend and started discarding/donating the obvious things (like old clothes, broken equipment, other things that you know you’d never use again), you might feel lighter mentally, as well as open up some space in your garage. When we hold onto stuff that we really don’t need or use, it’s almost an affirmation of lack. When you start clearing even some of that stuff, you start to see more possibilities.
