It's not just things; it's the memories/baggage attached to them. Remember when Lois talked about re-decorating her bedroom, making it look like a grown-up's room, getting rid of the furniture she'd had since she was 13?
De-cluttering can be emotional, too. For example, I've simplified the holiday rituals enormously: I send fewer cards to folks I care about more, gift more simply, & wrap much less elaborately. It's just one way of cutting down on stress, which is also good for your health.
