getting rid of what you own...

I am in the process of getting rid of a lot of things I own and I am finding it difficult. Some stuff are easy to get rid of, but others...idk. I've done this before. Three years ago I moved from a 3 and a half to a studio apartment. So I don't have that much, but still, i am not sure why I find it hard right now. I really envy people who travel light. I really like the idea of minimalism, but I think there is some psychological clean up to do as well. Anyone went through this? how did you get rid of most of your stuff? Did you keep it to a minimum after or did you re-collect stuff in your new place?

@Felipe Souza I actually feel relief when I throw things away. I am also realising we have been proned to recycle things otherwise we are somehow bad people. We add value to objects when there should be none. So I am actually just enjoying throwing it out. I got rid of I'd say 25% of what needs to be gotten rid of. I have until december to do get rid of most of my stuff. But you are right, I need to be gentle on myself and give myself some time.

@Joe Niblock interesting idea. But for me, I think that I would remember the emotions and want to replicate it. I would be tempted to buy it again. But it's great food for thought.

The summer holidays

I have a steady stream of students during the school terms, and I was thinking my online teaching might take a dive during the holidays, ho wrong I was! I was averaging around 10 online classes a week, all adult students heading from their bachelor's degree to the master's or even further up the academic tree. I have avoided elementary students at the moment, although that's another story! the last 2 weeks my workload jumped fro 10 to 17, and for the next 2 weeks its jumped from 17 to 29! The moral of the story, when the students go on holiday the online teacher doesn't! Happy days! Back to the elementary students, I bumped into an old teacher friend, who is teaching independently, his plan is teaching in the students house, all local to him here in China, he charges £54/$69 per hour. The need is great, so if I need to supplement my online I can jump back into face to face but on my terms! How's everyone doing in your own journeys?

That's great! Yes, I think there is a great need for language teachers. I've noticed the increase. Many people around me have online language teachers, and a few have face to face. I live in a french province of canada so many need to learn french. I speak both so I am good. I wouldn't know where to start to teach personally. But its an avenue I considered for a while. My journey is ok. Still not in the moving phase but maybe eventually. Due to my health, I had to put a hold on my projects. Hopefully it's temporary.
