A New Perspective, A New Beginning
Interior decoration is far more than creating a visually appealing space. It’s about crafting an environment that nurtures harmony, well-being, and even self-discovery for you and your loved ones. Beyond aesthetics, interior design holds a profound connection to our human nature, offering a pathway to understanding ourselves and transforming our lives.
In today’s fast-paced world, where advancements like artificial intelligence are reshaping our surroundings, exploring the deeper significance of human nature is no longer just a curiosity, it’s essential for our well-being. Interior decoration can play a pivotal role in this journey, serving as a mirror to our inner world and a canvas for personal growth.
Understanding Our Human Nature
The Sakura lifestyle, as outlined in the Sakura Guide, unveils the truth about the common belief that our environment dictates how we feel. This notion stems from childhood, where our surroundings, shaped by parents or caregivers, defined our reality. Through repeated experiences, these early moments form neurological connections in our brains, creating unconscious beliefs that act like programming.
Over time, we forget the origins of these beliefs and accept them as truth, shaping how we navigate and even create the world around us.
These unconscious beliefs, formed to protect us and ensure our survival, influence every aspect of our lives, including how we design our homes. In the domain of personal development, this principle is known as the Mirror of Life. Our environment reflect our inner world, as we have been unconsciously creating it. This offers the unique opportunity to uncover and transform our hidden beliefs and patterns of behavior.
Your Home as a Canvas for Transformation
Your home is more than a physical space; it’s a reflection of your inner world. By embracing this new perspective, one rooted in self-awareness and intentionality, you can begin a transformative adventure from the comfort of your own home. Here’s the basics on how to start:
1. Create Space for New Possibilities
Everything in your home occupies physical space, and because we are deeply connected to our environment, these objects also take up mental space. Clutter can block new ideas and opportunities from entering your life. Begin by decluttering your home to create room for fresh perspectives. A clean and clear space fosters a clear mind, inviting inspiration and growth. New ideas might be knocking on the door, but if there’s no space, they cannot enter.
2. Let Go of What No Longer Serves You
After decluttering, take a closer look at your possessions. Ask yourself:
- If I don’t know where this item came from, why am I keeping it?
- If I don’t use it, why hold onto it?
Letting go of physical items is a powerful practice that cultivates an attitude of release and openness. Over time, this process becomes easier, and you’ll become more mindful of what you allow into your space. If an item sparks joy or serves a purpose, consider keeping it—or even rediscovering its value by using it intentionally.
3. Love Everything in Your Home
At Sakura Living, we believe your home should be a sanctuary filled with things you love. If something bothers you or feels out of place, you have three options, inspired by Eckhart Tolle’s The Power of Now:
- Remove it: Sell, donate, or discard items that no longer resonate with you.
- Change it: Transform the item to align with your vision, whether through repurposing or redecorating.
- Accept it: Acknowledge that everything in your home is a reflection of your inner self. It is or was there for a reason. Acceptance is the first step toward meaningful change, whether you decide to keep, alter, or release the item.
“Acceptance and letting go are two sides of the same coin.”
By embracing this mindset, you create a home that supports your growth and reflects your truest self.
