“If it doesn’t spark joy, let it go.”
It’s the defining quote of the past year,
t ha n k s to or ga n i z at ion g u r u Ma r ie Kondo
and her simple-is-better philosophy of life.
And while her motto may have been focused on the
physical home (ahem, your closet), the words certainly
apply to other facets of who we are—our friendships,
our relationships, our careers. Why? In short, the more
baggage you toss, the more space you create for oppor-
tunities that spark unimaginable joy.
A nd t here’s no bet ter t i me t ha n a cha nge of se a son s
for a rejuvenating cleanse of the people and patterns
that aren’t serving you. So get ready to “KonMari” your
life...starting with these three ditchable downers.
Make Space for
Happy Vibes
IT’S NOT JUST CLUTTER THAT
HAS THE POWER TO WEIGH YOU DOWN.
TIME TO TOSS THE NEGATIVE
PEOPLE, HABITS, AND THOUGHTS YOU’RE
CLINGING TO AND PAVE THE PATH TO A
LIGHTER, FULLER EVER-AFTER.
