Starting fresh is one of the biggest mistake I did when first on my minimalism and decluttering journey. The reason being it is so unsustainable to just throw everything away and "start fresh". A much better approach is keeping things that are broken, old or with a low resell value. This forces us to take responsibility over our consumption, and in my opinion, this is the best motivator to stop shopping!
