Are Your Thoughts Helpful or Harmful?
Helpful or harmful? You get to decide which thoughts earn space in your mind. There’s a lot of extraneous thinking going on out there. Worries about things we can’t control or change. Nasty thoughts about other people that don’t fix anything. Taking responsibility for the choices of others whom we can’t control, fix or change.
Decluttering Your Bathroom
The bathroom can be deceptive. Unless there’s a ton of stuff all over the counters it doesn’t look like a clutter collector. The clutter is generally well hidden in drawers, cabinets and the linen closet. The categories that come along with the bathroom need to be attended to for clutter reasons as well as health reasons.
Yoga for Anxiety
You’ve probably heard how calming yoga is. Someone in your life, maybe even you, has said how good she feels after yoga. How relaxed, ready to meet the world, grounded, and centered she feels. Did you know there’s science behind that? Breathwork and yoga postures (asanas) can calm the sympathetic nervous system, a branch of the autonomic nervous system that becomes active during times of stress.

This is what I wondered at one time. As with most things as I learned about chakras I wasn’t going to believe in this particular hocus-pocus without evidence of some sort. But the more I learned the more I realized it wasn’t so much evidence as it was awareness that I received. Awareness of myself, my moods, my needs, my mind, my heart, my body… Yeah, that’s how powerful understanding chakras can be.
Create a Home to Please Your Senses
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.

Introduction to Your Home’s Feng Shui Bagua
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).
