Tidying Leads to Self-Discovery
Engaging in the tidying process is a journey of self-reflection and personal growth. Through deciding what to keep, you clarify your values, passions, and what matters most to you. Kondo notes, "The question of what you want to own is actually the question of how you want to live your life." For example, one of her clients realized her true passion for social welfare after tidying her belongings, prompting a career change. Tidying becomes a means to discover and embrace your authentic self.
