Does the order at home influence the mood?

It seems that if! There are several methods to achieve happiness through order at home and it is also a way of contributing to the mental order, there being a close relationship between the order of our mind and order in the home.

Let's look at some of those methods:

1 Konmari Method

Marie Kondo, a thirty-something Japanese woman who has already sold more than 5 million copies of her manual "The magic of order", believes that the first step to achieve happiness is to have the house tidy . What makes her method really revolutionary is her philosophy : she believes that the world looks different when we put all our things in place and perceive everything more clearly (both our belongings and the rest of affairs). From this point of view, we can easily distinguish what is really necessary and what is not.

Your system has several fundamental keys:

-Order garments by categories. Room by room is not ordered. The objects are ordered in this order: clothes, books, papers, various objects and finally, valuable belongings, gathering in one place the objects of the same category. In this way, we will be aware of the volume of things we have and be able to discard what we do not use or have repeated.

-Select what produces "happiness". Keep only the clothes that give us joy. Ask us what we will use again and what will not. Do not waste time or space with the second.

-Classify. When we decide what we have left, we have to classify it as we think convenient and organize it. Resorting to empty boxes and learning to fold clothes so that they occupy less space are very useful tips.

-Order little by little and maintain that order day by day. Of doing marathons of order, the rebound effect will cause unhappiness.

2 Method Dan-sha -ri

Once again, a Japanese author, in this case, Hideko Yamashita, shows us in her book a philosophy associated with order. In this case the title is 'Dan-sha-ri': Order your life and refers to both the personal terrain and the home, starting from the idea that getting rid of everything useless ( either a souvenir or old clothes) we will achieve a state of peace with ourselves. "Dan-sha-ri is to know oneself through order, through things, thanks to a technique that facilitates life after ending the chaos of our heart, "said the author.

The three instances to implement this method are:

1. Da: implies closing the passage to unnecessary things that try to enter our life.

1. Sha : it is based on throwing those elements that flood our house that we do not use or need to have.
2. Ri ​​: it is the final instance and shows the great transformation. It consists of the path towards an unattached self that lives in a space without restrictions, in a relaxed atmosphere.
