Oosouji: the Japanese method that brings serenity and a feeling of liberation.
Japan is a country of traditions and ancient wisdom. We have been incorporating much of this wisdom into our Western routine due to its multiple benefits. For example, Marie Kondo's method to feel joy through order. This peculiar philosophy about order can be transferred to almost any area of life, such as cleaning your house.
In this area, Oosouji comes into play , a traditional method that has more and more followers. Normally we don't usually feel like doing a big general cleaning because it makes us quite lazy knowing that we will have to spend several hours on it. However, according to the Oosouji method , this becomes an opportunity to gain serenity by eliminating ties from the past.
First of all, we must prepare as best as possible and be focused on what we must do. Another very important aspect that helps a lot is opening the windows. The pure air gives a feeling of calm.
How to do it correctly
The first thing is to get rid of everything that we really don't need. Now, we're not talking about throwing them away, they can also be donated. In this way we leave room for new things. Remember that we must clean thoroughly: vacuum dust, scrub, empty drawers and cabinets, move furniture... It is a truly in-depth cleaning, to see what is no longer useful and get rid of it.
We invite you to follow some basic rules:
-
Use boxes and try to donate. That's better than throwing away. You never know which person is going to use something that you no longer need, even if it is a simple detail. Besides, you will feel better about yourself.
