Marie Kondo's unique approach to organising our lives and our homes has transformed the relationship we have with the objects around us, helping us all to seek out the joy in our daily lives.

Here, Marie shares her principles for living, and reveal how the traditions of her homeland can help all of us to spark joy. She shares personal insights into her upbringing, family and career, and explores how Japanese people often combine an ultramodern lifestyle with deep respect for ancient customs and traditions.

In this second part of last week's discussion, you will continue to learn about anxiety and be inspired to ease your feelings by paying closer attention to them. Kelly speaks with fellow Canadian minimalist, spoken word artist, musician, international best-selling author, and former elementary school teacher, the incredibly insightful Humble the Poet, to share insights from his latest book, Unanxious: 50 Simple Truths to Help Overthinkers Feel Less Stress and More Calm. As Humble shared in the first half of their discussion, anxiety isn't something we should try to eliminate, but something we should get curious about. In this second half, Humble explains how anxiety can also show up in positive moments, and how learning to sit with our feelings can build lasting resilience. Together, they explore how removing external stimulants can lower our baseline anxiety, and how recognizing our emotional triggers — including those rooted in childhood — can reveal where the real work lies. They also walk through relatable, everyday anxiety-inducing scenarios and share practical tools — from setting boundaries with ourselves and others to intentionally doing small, uncomfortable things to build emotional strength. Be inspired to see anxiety as a natural human signal, and feel motivated to improve your relationship with it so you can transform your life for the better.

Part 1 The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up by Marie Kondō Summary"The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up" by Marie Kondo presents a unique approach to decluttering and organizing living spaces. Kondo, a professional organizing consultant from Japan, introduces the KonMari Method, which emphasizes tidying by category rather than location and focuses on keeping only those items that “spark joy” in your life. Key Concepts:The Joy Check: At the core of Kondo's method is the idea that you should only keep items that bring you joy. This encourages individuals to create a more meaningful and joyful living environment.Tidying by Category: Kondo suggests decluttering by specific categories: clothes, books, papers, komono (miscellaneous items), and sentimental items. Each category should be tackled in this order to simplify the process and prevent overwhelm.The Right Mindset: Kondo stresses the importance of having the right mindset towards decluttering. This involves respecting your belongings and understanding why you want to tidy up to foster a sense of gratitude for the items in your life.The Importance of a `Tidying Up` Day: Instead of doing small tidying sessions over time, Kondo advocates for a one-time, thorough tidying event. This allows individuals to see a complete transformation in their space, therefore motivating them to maintain a tidy home.Organizing Things Properly: Once decluttering is complete, Kondo provides advice on how to organize what you choose to keep. This includes storing items in a manner that makes them easily accessible and visible, enhancing the efficiency and aesthetics of the space.Mental Clarity and Life Transformation: Kondo believes that tidying up does more than just clean your space; it can also lead to mental clarity and emotional well-being. The process often prompts individuals to reflect on their values and priorities in life. Conclusion:"The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up" offers not only practical tips for decluttering but also a philosophy that encourages readers to lead a more intentional and joyful life. The book emphasizes the connection between our physical space and emotional state, making it a significant resource for anyone looking to simplify and enhance their personal environment.Part 2 The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up AuthorMarie Kondo is a Japanese organizing consultant, author, and television show host, best known for her unique approach to decluttering and tidying up.
