Getting Your Bedroom Ready For Fall With Feng -Shui

By Avril U. Kantaar

Fall is all about renewal and rebirth. It is the perfect season for doing away with the old things of the past in exchange for something new that's more exciting. This should also be our perspective during the customary general cleaning which is perfect for this season.

In carrying out the principles of Feng Shui, we should always find time to de-clutter; whether it's in our homes, offices, or in our minds and lives. Obsolete and old school mentality should be swept out together with old holiday decors. This makes room for newer better thoughts in the same way that we can make room for newer and better things. Revitalize your life through replacing your way of living and way of thinking.

Buying a plant that fits your taste and is compatible with the surrounding environment, is the key. Having plants indoors or outdoors is completely up to the individual choosing them. Their decisions are usually affected by the types of vegetation they are accustomed to. Tradition also influences them. Choose what feels right for you.

Your next priority could be your kitchen cupboards. Everyone hates clutter. It's very difficult to function at a 100% when you're surrounded by it. But don't worry, having some clutter around doesn't equate to having a cluttered mind or troubled life. It just means that your human and sometimes certain circumstances in our lives need to be prioritized over cleaning up. What is wrong is letting it be when is obviously an opportunity to organize and clean up. But if you don't plan to make the time to do so, it may never happen. In life and living our living it can be best said that we can only postpone this only temporarily to make room for urgent matters, cleaning can take a backseat. However, if you make this a habit clutter can turn out to be another emergency. So, find time to do it slowly. You can start at a shelf per day. Again, toss out what you don't need. Store what you do not use often and group together commonly used items. You'll be stress-free if you follow these suggestions.

The tiled floors, linoleum, or wooden floors should be the final are to be cleaned. Clutter here would be in the form of dust bunnies hopping around and hairballs rolling away. Sweep thoroughly. This includes the hard to reach areas like tight corners in the kitchen and living room. This final act will jump start your spiritual process of reaching optimum levels of Feng Shui. Sweeping away the dirt is symbolic of removing unwanted negative things or even energy in your lucky home. Throw them out and never look back.
