My friends call me Sole…
The first time I found out about Marie Kondo’s books & went through the KonMari tidying festival, I was planning my wedding to take place in Argentina while traveling through Japan, I was preparing my move to the US & I was going through some family health issues, all in the same year. At that moment, knowing that I had full control over my house, helped me keep my mind in focus to be as practical as possible, to be patient & compassionate with myself & to devote time to help where I needed to help.
But most importantly, I was able to maintain my house in order, to stop shopping compulsively, to get my husband onboard, to find meaning & purpose on the things I wanted to work on & to enjoy the little things I wasn’t paying attention to. I know these are a lot of things, but it’s 100% true!
My life & work experiences have led me to this new chapter, where I’m syncing all my expertise into the same goal:
- I am a Certified KonMari Consultant,
- Specialized in Positive Psychology, to provide my clients with scientifically proven tools to improve their wellbeing,
- I have +15 years working in multinational companies, where I learned to lead people to get to their full potential, while using my educational psychology degree to adapt the training methods to each of the people in my team,
- Full-on advocate of doing things sustainably.
What is the KonMari Method™?
The KonMari Method™ is based on the Shinto belief that all objects, both animate + inanimate have a sacred power. This belief teaches one to live in harmony with nature and your surroundings, while being grateful and respectful of all objects.
Most tidying methods advocate a room-by-room or little-by-little approach, which doom you to pick away at your piles of stuff forever.
The KonMari Method™ encourages tidying by category – not by location – beginning with clothes, then moving on to books, papers, komono (miscellaneous items), and, finally, sentimental items. Keep only those things that speak to the heart, and discard items that no longer spark joy. Thank them for their service – then let them go.
People around the world have been drawn to this philosophy not only due to its effectiveness, but also because it places great importance on being mindful, introspective and forward-looking.
