KonMari has been so popular these days that so many people are starting to rethink their lifestyle and how they put their “shit” together. Thanks to Netflix, for mass introducing the Japanese minimalist way of life.
If you’re wondering what KonMari actually means, it is safe to introduce you to the infamous Japanese decluttering expert — Marie Kondo.
Thanks to this charming Japanese lady, all of us now are striving to keep this planet a better place ONLY for the things that elicit happiness in us. Her new show is a cultural phenomenon.
Cos why not? KonMari is such sa beautiful thing. The thinking inspires people to let go of the the things that do not spark joy and to generally keep things tidy. The method looks easy but it is not. Keep only the things that “spark joy” in you and everything else, you should let go. As in trash them. That Zara blouse you bought for $80? Let that go.
I think this is somewhat fantastic not just in tidying up our home, workplace, or any other space. It could be useful in rethinking our life ahead. If people and habits, spark joy in you, then keep them. Otherwise, let them go.
Even before the KonMari phenomenon in Netflix, I have been a fan of the Japanese minimalist lifestyle. As a Christian, I have subscribed to the idea of keeping things that you need and detaching one’s self to the material things in life. And for that, I think Marie Kondo is heaven sent to humanity. Letting go of the materials things and focusing on what it can bring out from us — I think it’s hilarious!
