Want to get rid of extra clothes you’re holding on to? Don’t do laundry for a few weeks
I recently found myself feeling bogged down by all the clothing I owned, so I decided to perform an experiment. I didn’t do laundry for 2-3 weeks, and then donated everything that was still hanging up on laundry day.

How do you compliment people while staying body-neutral?
I’m working hard to disassociate my happiness and self-esteem from my appearance completely: I don’t want my mood to depend on how I look. The problem is, I really want to be able to affirm my friends and family in the way I want to be affirmed — in ways that recognize their inner awesomeness, and are completely disconnected from how they happen to look like on the outside that day. Usually I’m not stuck for words, but with this I’m stumped. How do you go about affirming people in ways that don’t reference their physical appearance?
