Today on the Fire In The Belly Podcast, we meet the Founder of Serenity Sparks Joy and the only KonMari consultant in Northern Island, Sharon McNulty.
It was a couple years ago when Marie Kondo changed the way we tidy up in our own homes or even in our offices. This Japanese way of decluttering is pretty straightforward—keep things you love and throw away (or give away) things that don’t spark joy. Let’s learn more today about this and how Sharon can change different lives through this method. Other topics discussed too were: organisation vs tidying up, sharing your expertise to other people, the importance of systems and strategies, KonMari’s effect on one’s life, and many more.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
The first step is always the hardest. When Sharon knocks on your door, expect changes—changes in your wardrobe, changes in your kitchen counter, and believe it or not, changes in your life. Her clients are still in awe of how the KonMari way of decluttering helped them.
It might be daunting for some to throw away stuff. Sharon is here to explain everything and show them that there is a more satisfying way of life when we open our minds to the Japanese art of decluttering.
Is organisation and tidying the same thing? No, some of us think it’s good to keep a LOT of stuff because they’re kept or ‘organised’ in designated areas. We need to tidy things up! Let’s only keep the things we really need.
KonMari is also a way of life. Think about the similarities with some existing paradigms:
The abundance mindset. There is enough in this world for you and the other people. Let us only take in the energy (and also the stuff) we need.
The law of attraction. Kondo teaches about choosing what sparks joy. In the law of attraction, we are called to manifest only the desired energy (i.e. positive high vibrations) we give and receive.
Life is too beautiful to be wasted on things that don’t matter. Surround yourself with positivity. Be cautious and don’t gravitate towards external factors that bring toxicity.
BEST MOMENTS
“Use the KonMari method; you’d only ever have to tidy up once.”
“In order to let go of the items, you got to let go of the emotions.”
“You can’t really be fulfilled with things.”
“My pride is my business… believing that I can do something and going ahead and actually doing it.”
