Just because it was expensive, does not mean that it spark joys.

Sometimes we keep items just because we remember how much we spent on them. They don't fit with our life or our style anymore so we put them back in the closet, drawer, or the basement. Think about something in your home that you are keeping just because it was expensive. Take some time to sit with that feeling. Stop!… Pause… Feel…

Yes, it's icky. Now forgive yourself. We all make mistakes. That is how we learn.

Spend a little bit more time thinking about how that expensive item became yours. Perhaps you were online shopping because you couldn’t sleep. Perhaps you were looking for a mood boost and you went shopping instead of going to yoga. Perhaps …..

What can you change so you don’t make another expensive and non-joy sparking purchase? Take a moment and promise yourself that you are going to make this change.

Ahhh, you’re another step closer to a tidy mindset!

The next step is to start your KonMari journey. Thank each item that is no longer bringing you joy. Then let it go.
