AKA: Introducing the idea of Practical Joy
Day 2: Afte going through everything, and I mean everything, the clothes pile that "brought me Joy" was really tiny. Feeling disheartened, I put each piece on at once and, feeling a new sense of inspiration, when back through the main pile. Now there are 4 piles: 1- Discard; 2- Brings me joy but I rarely wear; 3- doesn't bring joy but I wear every week (What's up with that??); & 4- the strong sensations pile. Style Rituals to the rescue. She suggested embracing the idea of "practical joy," and feeling the clothes for that. I'm more of a bite-off-more-than-you-can-chew Joy, kind of gal, so this is something new. I'll keep you posted.
