Zen Living: 4 Ways Decluttering Increases Happiness

It’s fairly obvious when somebody comes up to you and says “I don’t like you,” but less so when that person takes a disapproving glance at your car, or makes a backhanded critical remark about someone famous that you happen to know or admire. In many cases these are almost like long-term subliminal negative advertising campaigns, where someone will make repeated but barely perceptible stabs at something you like and identify with. And there is the key to your freedom. Right there in the words “something you like and identify with.” Because if you didn’t identify with your car, you wouldn't take it personally if someone were to disapprove of it. If your sense of self weren’t invested in knowing or admiring that famous person, that critical remark would not have anything to do with you personally at all.
