When I walk into my house, I take a deep breath in, let it out and smile. I’m filled with peace, joy, and inspiration. How do you feel when you walk into your home? Do you ever feel like you want to turn around and walk right back out the door? Whatever it is that you may need to create a space that is a true reflection of you, inspires you and brings you peace and happiness, will make a huge difference in your life.
If your home is cluttered, outdated, or feels drab and uninspiring, then you are ready for a change!!
Clutter
If clutter is an issue, it’s very likely that some part of your life is stagnant, stuck and not moving along with ease. In Feng Shui, addressing clutter is the one of the first steps to take that will make a huge impact in your life! A cluttered home creates a cluttered mind and creates feelings of overwhelm and so much more. “Clear your clutter with Feng Shui”, by Karen Kingston, is a great book that will shed much light as to why you may be a collector of items and why clutter can be such a big issue. It will inspire you to make the necessary changes in creating a home that will fully support you.
Is your home in need of some inspiration?
If your home feels outdated, it’s time to make some changes. Would you go to a special event wearing an old, outdated suit or dress? No, you would go buy something new that made you feel great when you put it on. Our homes are like our second bodies, and it needs to be the right fit too. Here are a few tips that can make all the difference! Changing and choosing the right paint color for the walls might be just what you need to lift your spirits. Maybe you’ve had the same furniture for the past 20 plus years and its time buy something new. Or maybe all that’s needed is some new throw pillows or a beautiful throw blanket for your couch. Other suggestions could be new bedding, artwork, or beautiful fresh flowers to greet you when you walk in the door. Whatever brings a smile to your face and lifts your spirits can be what’s needed to shift the feeling and mood of any space and inspire you in all the right ways!
Doing away with items that are no longer a fit
Do you have items around your home that are old and don’t feel like a true reflection of you? You might have items displayed that you don’t like, or that a friend or family member gave you, and you feel obligated to keep out on display to be nice. If you do, it’s time to pass these items on. Donate what you no longer like or want. It’s a wonderful exchange of energy and a beautiful way to give to others.
Creating and surrounding yourself with beauty and all that inspires you will not only lift your spirits, it will also support you in ways that you can’t even imagine.
LOVE everything in your space!!!
