Winter is over and there’s something intoxicating about the air… something youthful, don’t you think? Even mother nature is wearing her most beautiful dress! Oh, and yes, birds bring on the tunes.
Okay, so it may be the sunshine endorphins talking, but according to Leo Tolstoy: “Spring is the time for plans and projects.” Yep, chances are that your closet (and any other storage space in your home) may have hit rock bottom, and are in major need of a rebirth.
Japan’s new lifestyle phenomenon and decluttering guru, Marie Kondo, has revolutionized homes (and lives) across the world with her book The Life Changing Magic of Tidying Up. She believes that life truly begins after you’ve put your house in order.
But wait, with the demands of daily life (laundry! groceries! kids! deadlines!) Who has time for that? However, numerous studies have shown that physical clutter creates mental clutter and according to Kondo, only two skills are necessary to successfully put your house in order: the ability to keep what sparks joy and chuck the rest, and the ability to decide where to keep each thing you choose and always to put it back in its place. Those are the ground rules, simple!
Turns out the important thing in tidying up is not deciding what to discard, but rather what you want to keep in your life.
Mess causes stress. A clutter free life means less to clean, less debt, less to organize, less stress and more energy for your passions. What are you waiting for? Happy spring everyone!
