Stig Severinsen holds Guinness World record for holding his breath for 22 minutes!
“Update: ZeroWaste is now InstaCash”
And why would you ask are we talking about holding our breath in? The answer is simple. Each one of us is guilty of holding something in, from bad thoughts, to grudges through to old phones. But eventually even Stig had to breathe out and so would you. Holding your breath in is quite similar to holding your old electronic devices. Eventually, you will start feeling suffocated. ZeroWaste will help you breath easily by taking off the weight off your chest and what’s more, we’ll even give you good money for it.
Here are some interesting facts about clutter that might act as a wake-up call for you.
According to Dr. Jim Taylor, our life is stuffed with boxes filled with stuff, we never use. Our closets have too many clothes, equipment and plain old junk that never sees the light of the day. He further adds, “All of the clutter in our lives prevents us from having the time and space necessary to fill our souls with love, joy, inspiration, compassion, and contentment. Why would we put ourselves in such an uncomfortable and unhealthy state? Clutter may, in an odd way, make us feel safe because we surround ourselves with high walls (of stuff) that protect us from threats — real, imagined, and existential — that we feel every day. Unfortunately, those walls also imprison us and prevent us from experiencing life openly and freely.”
A lot of researchers and doctors are linking OCD (Obsessive Compulsion Disorder or OCD) and depression with accumulating electronic items. According to the International Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) Foundation, there are several characteristics of a hoarder. Some people acquire too many items and neglect or refuse to get rid of them. Others clutter their living spaces to the point that they can’t be used for the purpose it was bought for.
24% of house fires are reported to have been caused by hoarding, said Dr. Randy Frost. And these figures may not be true for India but the hazard is similar to quite an extent. We hope these facts act as wake-up call. If you think, you are becoming one of the hoarders, holding on to too many things, and start first by selling off your electronic waste and make your home free of electronic junk with ZeroWaste.
