If you were going to incorporate Feng Shui into your life, where would you begin? We hear experts tell us how to take our living spaces and “Feng Shui’ey” them, but where do we start?
What if you had the chance to not only Feng Shui your living spaces, but your entire life including relationships and careers as well? It all starts with creating balance and by using Feng Shui principles to create harmony within your home, your relationships and at the workplace as well.
For those not familiar with Feng Shui, you’re not alone. I was aware that it is the act of creating balance within your life, but that was about it.
I created this blog because I wanted to journal my experiences with creating a Feng Shui environment for myself and by doing so, it might give you ideas on how you, too, can create a harmonious and balanced living.
I will get into all this in upcoming blog posts, but let me back up.
On March 1, I will be uprooted from my present living environment that I have lived for the past twelve years. It’s quite run-down, but I blame it on the fact that I didn’t pressure my landlord – who was the sweetest thing – into fixing it.
I ignored quite a few things that needed addressing and because I work 18 hours a day on my online business and perhaps 20 hours at an offline job, I became overwhelmed in trying to do too many things.
What’s bad about this is that your living spaces are perhaps your lifeline to your moods, your health and your overall being and neglecting that would do more harm in the long run.
I knew this, but after twelve years in the same house, you get comfortable – as badly neglected as it was.
While your comfort zone is a really nice place to be, it also prevents you from changing. I knew I wanted change, but that’s the problem – all I did was talk about it. When the landlord admitted himself he wasn’t a good landlord and we were the best tenants he’d ever had, he also pushed us into a new change by letting us know that he had sold the property and we had 30 days to move.
I sunk into a depression because I had barely enough time to do what I do in any given 24 hours and I knew a move would send me over the edge. But, not only that, where would my next move be? It’s not that a new living place within our area was in the cards as the housing shortage was astronomical.
Friends were telling me that this would be a new start as I had been burning their ears about hating my living environment for years. So, perhaps, if I can look at it as a new beginning and use this opportunity to create a living environment that would create a balanced flow of energy, maybe my lifetime would be increased and it would create a life I had always been dreaming of. Talk will not get you to where you need to go, but actions – even if you have to have a little push to get there.
So, this blog will be a journal of my new beginning and how I will be creating a new living environment from scratch using Feng Shui methods.
I thank you for stopping by and following me on my journey as I Feng Shui my life.
