Simple Joy Tip: Group like with like by the material it’s made out of, shapes, sizes, or color. I also like to think of storage spaces like the aisles or sections in a store. Put items that you’d find in the same sections together will make them easier to find.
For those who have been following my monthly challenges may have noticed that I haven’t been posting about s often. After 7 months, over 200 daily challenges, I felt that I have reached a “click-point” (the term used in KonMari when you feel like you have the right amount of items for you and your space) and it’s time to try something else that spark joy for me and for you. The key the life-changing magic of tidying up, is to be honest with our feelings. Trust the gut instincts to know when or how much is enough. Check to see what you are keeping or doing reflects your vision of the ideal lifestyle.

Everything in our home has a purpose. Clothes are meant to be worn. Books are meant to be read. Toys are meant to be played with. When we store things, we tend to forget about them. The item becomes useless when it’s only there to take up space and collect dust. When choosing which items spark joy, think about why it’s in your life. Does it support the vision you have of an ideal lifestyle? Or has it fulfilled its purpose and ready to be let go? Be sure to say thank you to the item for the part it played in your life.
It’s been 2 years since I first tidied this kitchen, it still looks the same and sparks joy everyday!
When we show respect for our space, we also feel more grateful for what it offers. Our home keeps us and our belongings safe. Many times when I work with clients, we end up discovering mold or water damage that’s been covered up by clutter. So having a tidy space where you allow room for your things to breathe, for you to see and access everything, you are helping to make it last longer too.

How we view ourselves can affect our tidying habits. Some people are weighed down by the negative self-talk that they are messy, lazy, simply don’t have the ability keep their place organized, or don’t have the will power to say no to accumulating or decluttering. . . Tidying is a learned life-skill. You can’t criticize yourself when you’ve never learned how. But no matter what level of organizing skills you have, everyone deserves to live a joyful life. And only when we believe that, then we can find the motivation and courage to learn now to choose to keep what sparks joy. . . . #respectyourself #motivation #simplejoy #sparkjoy #konmari #konmariconsultant #nonegativity #tidyingup #thelifechangingmagicoftidyingup #mariekondomethod #organize #declutter #organizeyourlife #accumulatestuff #lessismore #bebrave #joy #lifeisgood #youdeserveit #bestrong #believeinyourself #becourageous
