Autumn time to chill more.

| steffybot

As Autumn approaches, it’s essential to take some well-deserved time to recharge your batteries. Life can get incredibly busy, and it’s easy to find yourself constantly on the move.

While your schedule may already be filled with a bunch of commitments, consider if there’s anything you can gently remove from your plate. Maybe one Saturday afternoon, you could simply sit outside and immerse yourself in a captivating book. Picture yourself indulging in a long, luxurious bubble bath or even spending the entire weekend in your cosiest pyjamas, baking cookies, and enjoying a movie marathon, all without the rush of chores and responsibilities.

The charm of Autumn lies not only in the allure of pumpkin spice lattes and snuggly sweaters but also in its subtle reminder that constant productivity isn’t sustainable. Just as nature takes its time to slow down and rest, so should you.

This Autumn, make a conscious effort to embrace a slower pace. Consider saying “no” to additional commitments and giving a resounding “yes” to the pursuit of relaxation. Transform this season into a personal holiday where you prioritize self-care and well-being.

In my own life, I’ve been reminding myself to ease off the accelerator. Instead, I’ve been relishing quality time with my family, taking off more time and rearranging my working hours and day. Even diving into captivating new books, especially at night times.

So, how can you slow down this Autumn?

Take the sights of the trees changing, the darker days and the change in weather as a sign it is okay to slow down.

In Autumn, nature begins to get ready for the winter hibernation and we can too.

6 top tips to work From Home Feng Shui tips.

1. Do not mix work and personal life.

It is good to physically separate your workspace from your living space. Do not use a bedroom as an office space unless you remove the electronics from the bedroom at night. Set clear boundaries and clear intentions between work time and home job time.

2. Be organized and declutter.

Always keep your working desk organized and free of clutter after your working hour. Clutter can generate stagnant energy and affect your health and mood.

Always locate your desk in the command position, this is where you will sit with your back against a strong wall and be able to see the door. If this is not possible ensure you have a tall strong back supporting chair, and even place a small mirror on the deck to see the door/ room.

5. A Nice View Does Matter

Avoid sitting in the position facing the wall because you will feel that there are many obstacles or hurdles ahead of you. Try to have something motivational like inspiring quotes, or images of inspiration to you, in sight or on your desk. Remove distractions that may keep your mind off the task at hand.

6. Look Out for “poison arrows”.

Looking around your surroundings and checking for any “poison arrow”, can have a negative impact on your physical and emotional well-being. This is looking for sharp pointing angles pointing towards you from likes of furniture, walls and the point coming towards you.

If you have these ‘poison arrows’ try to move areas or the items, if not possible try to soften them with fabrics or plants in front of them.

What is Feng Shui?

| steffybot

So, what do you really know about Feng Shui?!

This is a great question and often has been misinterpreted for furniture placement. Well, that is true on an intentional design aspect, however, it’s not true Feng Shui.

Feng means ‘wind’ and Shui means ‘water’, in English. The Feng Shui roots can be traced back over 4,000 years.

Feng shui is an ancient Chinese art to help harness the energy of your home, the Ancient Chinese believed these two elements worked to bring alignment to heaven and earth. 

Feng Shui thinking of the flow of “Qi” energy. Connecting with and being affected by direction, alignment, the 5 elements (Fire, Earth, Wood, Water & Metal), timing and the magnetic field.

Today touches on many areas of our lives as well as the home. Improving our homes energy with Feng Shui can bring harmony, love, peace, prosperity and more.

Flying star method

I am trained in the classical flying star method,  which deals with looking at the stars and their influence on buildings. 

The stars linked to when your house was build and the current year, and the home compass directions. 

Good stars, the ones which bring luck, wealth and fame, and the bad stars, which bring misfortunes, ill health and bad luck are analyzed by creating charts.

Within this method, we apply the 5 elements within the home like acupuncture needles to help enhance the good stars and neutralise the bad stars. 

This method of Feng Shui is at a deep level. Probably too deep for emails so if you want to delve deeper into your home please reach out and work with me on a one to one level.

Letting go when decluttering

| steffybot

I often get asked about Letting go.


This is a interesting topic when your on a decluttering process. Everyone will be different. For some its so easy but others more problematic. 

Why?

We are human and many of use have a emotional connection to items and belongings. 

This can either be from your own personal experiences or even somethings from our upbringing/ past. 

Some people have less of an emotional tie with items, and thats all fine as we area all individual. 

However if your struggling to let go of items but deeps down you want to here are some tips and points to consider:

1) Does it work for its intended purpose, if clothing does it fit? 

2) Have you used i tin the last 12 months?

3) Why are you holding onto it, e.g. ‘just incase’ thought?

4) If you saw it in a shop now would you get it?

5) Does it bring a good warm feeling to you now?

6)  Why is it sentimental to you?

7) Remind yourself of your intent to declutter…What are your trying to create. then recap the 6 tips.

If you have looked at the tips above and still feel you need to keep it, where can it be best stored. 

If you feel you need to keep it for a little  longer but ultimately want to get rid of it, start moving it closer to the door.  Place it next to door in room it belongs, the to the other side of door, then to inside the front door. then outside then to bin or charity. 

To declutter is a journey and not everything will be easy to let go, or even needs to be lot go.

Also remember why your decluttering, what is your bigger vision. 

There if often some good medications on YouTube for letting go if your into this extra sort of process. these area a great extra tool to work on your subconscious mind.

How decluttering and feng shui helped me.

| steffybot

I have always had a interest in Feng Shui when I was younger, but lost it with life going on.

However 5 years ago originally via the Bizmums, I did our declutter challenge,I really started organizing and decluttering my home. From the last bits of my ex, children’s paintings, keep sakes to the kitchen and wardrobe draws.

I then cane across Patrica Lohan and her free group Dream life & biz creators group on Facebook. I was picking up free tips, challenge and more around how de cluttering and Feng Shui effects the home and life experiences. Knowing a little from my past interest I decided to fully invest in her mastery program.

Starting Patricia’s Feng Shui mastery course, I floor planned my home, gave its build and occupants date of birth and its direction to compass readings, within a few weeks Patrica had sent me my personal Bengal map. While awaiting this report I learnt more about the Gua, what each support within area of life, how clutter has impact and the home energy on yourself and life experiences.

Within the mastery programme its split into room tips, how to effectively declutter, why decluttering needed, theres a personal group support on things like art work in home, bedrooms, kitchens. How Guas need remedies due to energy, what they support and where to place them.

I now was ready to embrace changes I knew something needed to happen.

I started embracing the program, I installed all remedies apart from my required metal, (I couldn’t afford it). The final bits of my ex removed, all rooms decluttered, cleansed and cleaned.

I felt a major change in the house energy and general looks.

2nd year in and I got a updated report for the new Chinese year, and asked as Patrica recommends asked the metal fairy’s for help, this year I ordered enough metal for my report to cover the ground floor, low and behold double the ordered around came….life really started to change then.

That year I knew I wanted to seek out a partner so I really embraced more changes in my love and marriage gua, adding in intentions to type person I wanted to attract, how I would find them and more.

I set out in a dream/ vision board all the things I wanted to active from new partner, holidays, setting up a successful business.

Things really started to change. On a huge and small scale.

Fast forward to now, 4th year into Feng Shui my home and I have achieved all my dreams and more.
