DELETE OLD EMAILS

I know it’s easier said than done, but I’ve done it before.

It’s hard to just actively delete individual e-mails, especially meaningful ones.

However, there are options.

For one, you could get a new e-mail address and slowly work your way to only using that particular address. After more and more people send you mail on that address and you get more and more memories and memorable/meaningful e-mails on that new address, the old one will sort of fade away. Maybe you’ll even forget you have the other one.

If that doesn’t work, do what I did:

I just got a new e-mail address, got all my contacts from the old one, and then deleted my old account without looking back. I had approximately 800 e-mails in my inbox that I refused to delete.

Just do it. :p

In fact, I am quite anal about deleting them!

I have a habit of not deleting e-mails after reading them. I have had one particular e-mail account for years and I currently have 501 messages in my inbox which are mostly junk.

Every time I attempt to tackle this goal, I am overwhelmed after deleting a few pages and I quit.

Either that or I run into e-mails that unearth purposely forgotten memories that I would rather not deal with. I am highly sentimental and I have issues with throwing things away, even when they involve past relationships.

This goal will promote healing and moving on in a sense. I hope I am able to complete it.
