Happy New Year my darlings, I could try to say it out loud jumping around on a trampoline or bouncing off walls but sadly that's not the case, The fight continues, the fight for the world to heal, for us to beat "Covid", for people to spread love and not hate, but above all else, we must first be grateful to even be alive today and try to be strong and optimistic, We must hope for a better future.
The past year took a lot of our energy, It put us through so much, I lost three people last year and it really got me down, but they won't want me to wallow in sadness or sluggishness, I have to try to be strong and positive for my loved ones. One thing that helps me stay focused and achieve Inner peace is (Meditation), I cut ties with a lot of toxic energies, and I distanced myself from anyone and anything that would trigger me, the way the world is today, the best therapy advice is (Minding your own business), looking after yourself because when you are happy, you can make sure others around you are happy because Happiness starts with you.
One thing that helps me cope is looking at beautiful and inspirational pictures, and pages, and putting my creativity to good use, I also do a lot of deep cleansing and deep thinking on which way forward, the picture below is a canvas I customized a few years ago and it still helps lift my mood, Helps me appreciate the beauty around me, helps me enjoy & Value the little things.
There is so much emotion behind this picture - Art enables us to find ourselves and lose ourselves at the same time, but this time "I found myself". You have to focus on only things you love during this period, you have to do all you can to stay happy, positive, strong, focused, and optimistic even though things in the world and around you will try to trigger you, once your mental health is in good shape you will bounce back easily.
When it comes to managing stress and preventing feeling overwhelmed with unexplainable feelings, we often overlook one of the simplest and best strategies and that's to make your home more peaceful. You must know that your home matters, It's your safe haven and your life revolves around it. This is why it’s so important to make your home your sanctuary and surround it with beautiful objects and vibes.
Your home is incredibly personal. It should reflect who YOU are and your personal style. To make your home more peaceful you have to use decor and color schemes that make you feel the most comfortable at home, I have always mentioned the fact that you want to feel relaxed and happy to be there. When you walk into your home, you want to feel like it’s a breath of fresh air.
Clutter is often in the same sentence as feng shui, but we’d say that feng shui is less about de-cluttering and more about creating space. Feng Shui is the process of organising your environment to attract optimal success. Always keep in mind that the strongest factor of your Feng Shui is you, Feng Shui is all about the subconscious interaction between planetary and mental energies.
When we throw out the physical clutter, we clear our minds. When we throw out the mental clutter, we clear our souls.
“As you breathe in, cherish yourself. As you breathe out, cherish all beings.” – Dalai Lama
Our homes are where we can showcase our creativity, feed our family, foster better bonds with family members and friends, and relax from the chaos of the world. It;'s where we start and end our days, and creating a peaceful home will ensure a happier life. While putting together a more peaceful and positive home might take some time to identify the things you will have to incorporate in your home to provide a more tranquil environment, the benefits will be worth the time you take to decide the right decors for your home and surrounding.
