High vibe homes start with high vibe humans.

Here’s the thing about Feng Shui: your space can do a lot, but it’s not magic on its own.

You can have the chicest living room, the coziest bedroom, and a front door that practically screams “Welcome, abundance!” but if your own energy is low, stressed, or just plain cranky, your home will reflect that. Always.

My go-to answer for tuning up my own attitude and energy is movement and a good calendar edit.

Movement
Movement can be anything that moves your physical body. Sometimes that means a walk to remove myself from whatever is getting under my skin. Sometimes that means running, sweating, and really moving the blood around my body. Sometimes that means dancing in the kitchen. Sometimes that means sweeping my whole house. That one is my favorite.

Moving your blood moves stuck energy in your body. Sweating releases salt and toxins, cleansing your body. Yet another reason for me to get on a soap box about SALT. But I will resist…for now…

The calendar edit
Usually when I’m in a mood, it is because I haven’t moved. We just solved that. Or, I have overcommitted myself and my nervous system is fried.

When it is the latter, I take a peek at my calendar and start to make space. I graciously apologize for canceling commitments that I had scheduled but did not have time to do. I decline new invites that I have been waiting to respond to unless they are a priority. I reschedule what I can for a later date, reminding myself not to cram all of the rescheduling into one week. I have done that and learned my lesson.

Then I knock small items off my to-do list that are taking up precious mental real estate. You know the ones that have just piled up and now you have a mound of tiny little things to do. I knock those out. Scheduling doctor’s visits, refilling prescriptions, responding to teacher’s wish list requests. You know the drill.

Then equilibrium is restored and all is right with the world. I can make the real magic happen. Decisions are easier to make. I have space between meetings to regulate my stress levels. I am able to prepare myself for important deadlines. I am a present mom.

The lesson
If your home is clean and you have done the Feng Shui remedies I have suggested but your mindset and attitude are crap, the Feng Shui will have a harder time working. Your own personal energy matters so much in the equation of creating luck and prosperity.

So go for that run, girl. Your energy will thank you.
