It's important to communicate with your mom about creating a space for yourself without critiquing her attachment to her belongings. Ask if she would be willing to help create a clutter-free area for you without attacking her habits. It's about making positive proposals instead of judgments.
514 | Guilty Pleasures
Q: How do I get over that guilt, and how do I let go of maybe I do want that item?
Consider questioning whether your values around recycling are truly your own, and understand that feeling guilt can signify a misalignment between your actions and your values.
