5 Things I did that took my home from chaos, to calm
There was a time that life felt hopeless, chaotic, and stressful, for me. Feng Shui has truly taught me to channel my inner calm. Creating a peaceful environment has been so helpful on my healing journey. If you are on your healing journey, I am here to help you create calm in the storm of life 💗
Life can often feel chaotic, especially when we have no control over what is happening outside of our homes. There is so much happening in the world that we have no control over but, what we do have the power to control is ourselves and our home.
One of the reasons why having a calm home is so important is that it helps support your nervous system. When our nervous system is calm, our health improves, stress is eliminated, and we invite clarity into our lives.
I want to share with you, the 5 simple tips that I applied in my home that helped me the most ✨️
5 tips to create calm at home ✨️
Clean the floors once a week
This is my Monday, non negotiable, ritual. When the floors in my home are dirty, I can not relax.
Cleaning my floors every Monday is an act of self love for me.
Pick one day a week and deep clean your floors. Pay attention to the corners that are hard to reach, and the areas under furniture. These areas can have a sneaky, negative effect on the Chi in your home.
Hide the knives
If you are displaying your knives on your kitchen counter, this could be having a negative effect in your home.
Client story: I worked with a client a few months ago that kept his knives on the kitchen counter. The area where the knives are were actually in his career section according to the Bagua map. He was always being ‘cut’ from jobs and could never find consistent work.
Knives are best kept in drawers and cupboards and not on display.
Rugs in the living room
I swear by this tip! Adding a rug to your living room or in a room meant for relaxing will help to ground the energy. The rug acts as an anchor to help Chi to move slowly through the room. A pretty rug under your bed, if you are a bad sleeper, will also have the same effect.
Window coverings
Be sure that your windows have appropriate windows coverings.
If you have curtains or blinds that are too big, or short, or don't fit the window properly, it will leave you feeling exposed and can give you anxiety.
Window coverings, give us safety from the negative energy that is outside.
Mirror, mirror
What your mirrors face is affecting the energy in your home.
If you have a mirror that faces your front door, you are bouncing positive Chi straight back out.
If you have a mirror that faces a window, you could be reflecting what is happening in the world, inside your home.
If you have a mirror that faces a trash can, the Chi in your home is being effected.
Where mirrors are placed is so important!
If possible place mirrors that face artwork you love, your dining table, or, your wealth area. This way love and abundance will be doubled.
✨️ Bonus tip:
Having a stressful day? Grab some comfy throw pillows and a blanket you love, and create a cozy sofa situation. Make your living room the place that protects you from the stress of the day. Your home should feel like it is loving you back ❤️
