Giving it up, giving it away decreases your mental burden.

As behavioural collectors, we tend to accumulate things.  Money, cars, furniture, clothes etc. Human suffering occurs when we try to protect the things we cherish.  The less we have to worry about, the happier we will be.

But in order to maintain our perspective, because things don't exist and they have no intrinsic meaning other than what we attach to them, we should also practice letting them go and giving things away.

As part of your daily routine, it would be wise to dispose an item - give it to charity, take a scrap of metal to the scrap yard, give it to your friends, and so on.

By letting things go, we remember that we can live without them, and we are not attached to them.
