Keep Clutter to a Minimum!

We’ve said it before, but make sure you clear out those items and memories that don’t serve you. The pointless scatter of junk or ‘golden oldie’ items may be interfering with both your physical and mental wellbeing. You will feel so much lighter when you throw out or recycle. At WellBeing World HQ, we’ve recently tackled our own clutter – we feel so much better for it already! Gone is the accumulation of clutter and here to stay is open space, and the new opportunities that lie ahead.

Think - Feng Shui

Don’t be scared! This phrase may freak you out but you may be more aligned with Feng Shui than you realise. Most of us use Feng Shui techniques intuitively. We look for inviting spaces and we decide if they cater for our wellbeing, or not. One of the basic principles of Feng Shui is clean, open space; essentially leading toward uncluttered living which makes for a clutter free life! This in turn enhances one’s sense of wellbeing. Feng Shui suggests that everything in your life and in your home should have flow and purpose. A house with feel good Feng Shui gives off a smooth, strong and clear energy flow.

It is not necessary to introduce the five elements in their raw state, they may be represented symbolically, using colour or texture. So, if you don’t have room for a water feature, use a turquoise cushion or blue vase. Fire may be represented by a candle or lamp; earth by pebbles; wood by house plants; and metal by a silver photograph frame. Tips for bringing more peace and happiness to any environment and so contributing to your sense of wellbeing include fresh flowers and green house plants; both have an incredible ability to lift the human spirit. Lighting is very important to create the right ambience; as are relaxing scents. And occasionally re-arranging, or replacing, furniture can also be helpful to provide a new outlook and can contribute to a positive change in mood. Choose items for both their visual appeal as well as their functionality.
