Last week, I heard from several friends and two clients that they'd watched at least one episode of Marie Kondo's new Netflix show that shows her coming into people's homes and helping them notice what sparks joy, and facilitating the decluttering, or, as she calls, tidying up process. It seems to have really struck a chord in Americans with certain means, kind of like the yoga-teacher-training-as-spiritual-path phenomena that I have noticed in the last seven years. It seems we are finding meaning from these activities that encourage simplicity and getting in touch with our inner selves in a quiet, acknowledging way. Mindfulness. Anyway, I was struck by a study done about clutter and stress. Here's the NY Times article that sums it up, with references to the actual studies done. Enjoy, and maybe you'll want to clean up a few piles around the house after you read it!
