Reading Time: Postcard (25 seconds)

Yesterday I shared that Ms. Cat Food and I were Feng Shui practitioners--and boy did y'all love this idea. I promised to share some fun and effective actions you can take.

Before I share them, let me say that everything is energy and if you have a problem, there's a good chance you've got some congestion. What you need is circulation, and Feng Shui is a circulation catalyst.

Here's what she did, what I did, and what you can do:

1. Declutter everything. Get rid of clothes that don't fit, dishes that never get used, furniture you do not love. Yes, it's better to have an empty space than a thing you're settling for. Ya gotta make space—literally—for the new version of yourself.

2. Organize your kitchen. Put that yummy, healthy food front and center (yes, they can be one and the same). Make treats harder to reach or don't have them within your four walls. (This was one thing Ms. Cat Food did to support her goal.)

3. Create a space for your morning ritual. Set yourself up with everything you need for your A.M. routine (which you know sets you up for a fantastic day!). No excuses. No searching while wasting time (oh yeah, I've been super guilty of this one). Just set yourself up to show up. Your great intentions pave the way for great results.

4. Rearrange your bedroom. Get new bedding. Dust, sweep, vacuum, and mop. Make your bedroom your sanctuary, and let that great energy flow! (Also: better sleep will mean better choices the next day.)

Are these and other Feng Shui principles what made the difference? Or was it simply being intentional about our environments?

Does it matter?

Well, here's what does: Your environment is either working for you or against you. There's no neutral ground. You're either congested or you're circulating.

Tomorrow I'm going to talk about why this all works (even if you think it's nonsense).

See you then,
