Life: Simple, Uncluttered, Gradual

"I honestly get a little rush from getting rid of stuff. And that has replaced my desire for a shopper's high."

So says hoarder-turned-cleaner Aimee Heckel, who reached a personal breaking point and decided to let go of at least ten things every day for a year. Many were donated to charity. They ranged from spare plastic forks to old Halloween costumes.

Even if the floors and shelves of your home our constantly suitable for eating off of, the point is how strongly a person can change, even reverse, the course of life with a simple goal, determinedly followed, until it becomes an equally ingrained habit with its own pleasure center responses in your brain.
