Item Appraisal

Is there something in your home that has hidden meaning to you? Have you checked recently how that meaning translates in your life? Some items may hold special meaning for people, and they keep these items for a long time. However, other times people may not notice that items being held onto may have bad memories or meanings associated with them. Keep things in your home that currently make you feel good, and check that there aren't any items in your home that give you bad feelings, or could cause an increase in stress.
