In reply to Jen Christie. And it's nothing to beat ourselves up about either Jen. Recognizing them and creating awareness can help us break patterns that no longer are serving us. Thank you for sharing.

So many of these sound familiar… more than I want to admit. Personalization, turning positives to negatives and definitely setting unrealistic expectations are some of my negative distortions. And you are right, I almost never realize I’m doing it.

Your thoughts are all ways inspiring to me, Sam & Emilio of KWPO Academy. This is timely to read as I re-visit the use of ‘my’ l-i-v-i-n-g room.. and what I need from it and for it as space I am hardly using. As you have seen working with me, it is a great space (!) with huge window, high ceiling and door to a great open balcony.

In reply to Anita. Thank you Anita. Reward yourself for taking these first steps. Believe it or not, but your actions are already leading you to a better place. A place where you are in control of your belongings and home, not the other way around. You can do this. You will do this.

In reply to Sandra. Thanks Sandra for reading and commenting. It is interesting that you were already putting into practice some of the ideas found with Wabi-Sabi. The Danish call it Hygge. No matter what definition you use, we're very glad that you have created your own oasis, a space that represents you and makes you and your family feel well. Bravo!

Interesting. Seems that I have done some Wabi Sabi without realizing it. My life got turned upside down, inside out, literally 2.5 years ago. You guys helped me with various rooms, what a job but a tremendous relief. I did simple redecorating in my bedroom that represented ME and gave me a peaceful place to be. This past fall I did my family room on a tight budget. Carpet gone, painted plywood and scatter mats in, simple, grounded decorating in. Old furniture stayed, covering it with simple, cozy throws and pillows. The place that brings me comfort is a lake, and so the room brings that to me. I now spend countless hours in a room that once was unoccupied because it did not feel right. Funny thing, everyone loves it, even my kids, and say that it is ME and US.

These are fantastic ideas. They make sense, and are the kind of thing most people either already do, or recognize as things they ought to do. Putting them in black and white like this makes them more deliberate and successful.

Thank you for sharing this. This in particular really resonated: “I started journaling more and trying to discover what I liked and didn’t like. I had deeper conversations with strangers that I just met.”
