The search for inner clarity and fulfillment

How about you? Could you answer that question? Could you describe a day in your ideal life? Or do you feel like Sarah? You don’t know what you want, what you wish for, or perhaps even what you are allowed to wish for. You don’t think about how you can achieve your goals or realize your dreams. You don’t allow yourself to question your current life and everything you do. All you know is that being happy should somehow feel different. If you met a fairy in the forest, the sheer abundance of possibilities would leave you so overwhelmed that even the fairy would turn around and say, “I’ll come back later!” sensing your uncertainty about what to wish for.

Sarah desperately needed this journey of self-discovery. Through the tidying process, her home underwent a visible transformation, but it was the shifts within her inner world that truly began to reshape her life. You might wonder: “How does organizing and tidying connect to self-discovery and your inner world?” Let’s start with defining your inner world. Put simply, it is everything that is not your outer world, everything immaterial or intangible – your values, emotions, aspirations, thoughts, and matters of the heart. It also includes your friendships, partnerships, your mental and physical health, the driving force behind your work, and much more. I believe it is far more important and valuable to bring order and clarity to this inner world, rather than solely focusing on the material aspects of your outer world, such as possessions, finances, or social media presence.

If you feel like Sarah, there’s no reason to despair. In this book, I will show you how you can find your way back to those things in your inner world that inspire your wishes and dreams by tidying up your outer world. This book is not a how-to guide to tidying up and organizing, there is enough material already available to support those efforts. This book starts one step before you start tidying and is intended to show you what you can gain both inside and out through this process of tidying and organizing.

But who am I? Why should you trust me when I tell you how tidying brings you closer to your inner self? As a tidying consultant, this is my passion and I bring the results of many clients to the table. However, my experience goes deeper than just education and client experience. I trust the journey and can passionately share it with you because it was my own. Like Sarah, a few years ago, I couldn’t picture my perfect day or any dream at all. I felt stuck in my everyday life, not knowing what I wanted to change, whether I could or not. I felt lost. I had lost access to myself and my dreams. So, I embarked on this journey for myself.

Let me tell you about it. And where does a journey begin? Right at the beginning, when I was born. Jokes, I won’t go back that far. But I still want to tell you my story from the beginning and hope you’ll join me!
