The central tenet of the KonMari Method is to surround yourself only with items that bring you true happiness. By physically holding each possession and asking, "Does this spark joy?" you make a conscious decision to keep only what truly resonates with you. This approach shifts focus from what to discard to what to keep, fostering a positive mindset. For instance, instead of keeping clothes out of guilt or obligation, keep only those that make you feel confident and happy.
