We’re all aware of the big five of the human senses, right? Sight, Smell, Hearing, Taste, and Touch. Decluttering and tidying as it has been popularized recently, primarily focuses on Sight. What does your home look like? Is it aesthetically pleasing? Is it clean? Is it tidy? Do you have a nice-looking yard? When selling a house, the things that tend to sell the house are how the kitchen, bathrooms and landscaping look.
When I began studying feng shui I was all about the elements, colors, balance and the inherent connection to decluttering. And then I hit the information about the bagua and came to a screeching halt. What is a bagua? A small baguette? No, it’s not delicious fresh bread. It’s a map of the energy centers in your home. This map gives you a foundation to refer to when wanting to curate good chi (energy).
I am not perfect. I’m so sorry to let you behind the curtain and break the spell, but I don’t even aspire to perfection. I was raised with all of the values of sustainable living and reduced waste living. I love those values. I also do not meet the expectations of them nearly 80%, let alone 100%, of the time.
Ugh, moderation! What a bore! I want excitement and adventure, love and travel! I want to live in a movie and be beautiful and rarely have to eat or use the bathroom (anyone else ever notice that in movies?). When people ask me what I’ve been up to I want to have an answer! I’m tired of saying, “eh, not much.”
