How to feel joy in and out of your home

I have become someone who folds and rolls her underwear and tucks them into a tiny box inside the drawer.

I used to be someone who just stuffed them all in a drawer and shoved it shut, until recently the shoving had become rather forceful, because the drawer was overfull. So I KonMari’ed my dresser, and while folding and rolling my underwear while folding laundry is still annoying me, opening that tidy (non-shoved) drawer and finding all my things tucked tidily and prettily inside? That fills me with delight every single morning.

And because I am someone who seeks more delight in my life, I started wondering how Marie Kondo’s ideas about confronting your stuff could be applied to more than the physical stuff in my life, but also the mental stuff.

Listen to episode 39 now to hear more about what that could mean for you (spoiler: lots more joy, lots less overwhelm and guilt). 

In this episode: An overview of the KonMari method and why this applies to more than just your closet Some of the ways it feels in your body to feel joy Other places in your life you can ask “does this bring me joy” and edit what doesn't Why developing the skill to recognize your joy will allow you to unhook from the weight of things that make other people happy - but not you
