The KonMari method suggests storing things vertically to save space. This 12x12 box can hold (at least) 7 pairs of shoes! What else can you store vertically? . . #KonMari #konmarimethod #verticalstorage #shoestorage #maximizeyourspace #tips #smartideas #shoes #declutter #tidyingup #organization #shoeorganization #newyork #brooklyn #professionalorganizer
Whether it’s a great deal, or something on a “must-have” list, be mindful of what you bring into your home. Be honest if it’s something that truly sparks joy and adds to your ideal lifestyle, or it has triggered the thrill of getting something new. Ask yourself where will you keep it? When will you use it? Do you already have something like it? It’s it an environmental friendly item? What’s the return policy? Be present, be honest, and be respectful of your home and your wallet. . . . #shopping #mindfulness #bepresent #smartshopper #waste #lifestyle #konmari #sparkjoy #behonestwithyourself #shopaholic #buyless #repurpose #sustainable #buygreen #amazonprimeday #sales #greatdeals
Sometimes we have mixed feelings about sentimental items. Listen to the story of my client letting go of a special item during her tidying journey. (Check out another video of her transformation and why she wanted to tidy from an earlier post this week) . Do you have a difficult time letting go of sentimental items? Message me, I can help. . #sayinggoodbye #yourvision #lifestyle #ideallifestyle #konmarimethod #declutter #organizing #commitment #yourbestself #choosejoy #sparkjoy #professionalorganizer #lettinggo #sentimental #movingon #beforeandafter
Pretend you are making a movie. You are the star and the story is this person living a joyful life. The story takes place in present day and the opening scene is in your home. What do you see as you move through that space? How is the main character dressed? what objects do you see around the home? . . Allow yourself to be free to imagine and try to create that vision by choosing items that spark joy and fit into how you want to live. Take charge and be the director of your life! . . . . #yourvision #lifestyle #ideallifestyle #konmarimethod #declutter #organizing #commitment #makeaplan #sticktotheplan #backupplan #reachyourgoal #yourbestself #choosejoy #sparkjoy #professionalorganizer #imagination #visionboard
We all have different motivations for wanting changes in our lives. Hear why one of my clients want to tidy up her home. I’d love to hear your story too. . . #mindrulness #sparkjoy #declutter #feelings #emotionalclutter #clearyourmind #oraganizing #tidyup #therapy #supportsystem #accountibility #askforhelp #youarenotalone #empowered #control #reconnect #rediscover #therealyou #sparkjoy #tidystories #beforeandafter #transformation #simplifyyourlife
The KonMari method is all about figuring out why you want to declutter and organize, who you are now or want to become, finding what you choose to keep, dedicating the time for when you’ll tackle the project, and where the new “homes” will be for your kept items and where the “thanked” objects will go (recycle, repurpose, donate). Create a plan using the 5 “W” questions will make the process less taunting. A more thorough plan will also include a “what if” for times when you feel discouraged to keep going, or something comes up. Preparing yourself will ensure you to keep going and reach your goal. . . . . #yourvision #lifestyle #ideallifestyle #konmarimethod #declutter #organizing #commitment #makeaplan #sticktotheplan #backupplan #reachyourgoal #bepreparedforanything
Catching up on reading while traveling by train to visit a friend sparks joy. . . . “Destructive type of fear and anxiety...the uncertainty of the future, or the potential loss of something, causes you to withdraw into your head to fight battles that can’t be won and analyze problems that can’t be solved. In the meantime, you miss out on being fully present and engaged with your life.” - Freedom from Anxious Thoughts and Feelings by Scott Symington, PhD . . . . #fear #anxiety #worry #emotionclutter #sparkjoy #traintravel #goodbook #konmari #lettinggo #declutter #changingperspectives #freedom #mindfulness
Physical clutter and emotional clutter go hand in hand. When you stuff and hide your things, chances are you do the same with your feelings. Any type of clutter can make you feel overwhelmed and weighed down. Tidying can be very therapeutic by confronting the decisions we’ve made to see if the objects we’ve been holding on reflect the person are or want to become. . . Surround yourself with a support system of those who you can share good times and bad times with. Ask them to help you on your tidying journey for assistance and accountability. Commit to the process which will help to empower you, give you a sense of control, and rediscover who you are. The more you choose joy, the more you’ll spark joy for others too. . . #mindrulness #sparkjoy #declutter #feelings #emotionalclutter #clearyourmind #oraganizing #tidyup #therapy #supportsystem #accountibility #askforhelp #youarenotalone #empowered #control #reconnect #rediscover #therealyou #sparkjoy #simplifyyourlife
I am having so much fun teaching a KonMari workshop at the public library! The group meets monthly and tackles their own tidying while supporting one another. 👍 . . . . . #konmarimethod #sparkjoy #thelifechangingmagicoftidyingup #vision #choosejoy #keepwhatyoulove #tidyup #declutter #organize #certifiedkonmariconsultant #workshop #accountability #brooklynpubliclibrary #supportgroup
