Many of us make plans each new year to make changes in our lives! Whether it be dieting, saving money, or being a better person - we all struggle throughout the year to actually make those things happen! One of the hot topics for all American's is the economy. The massive U.S. budget deficit is the gravest threat facing the economy,
topping high unemployment and the risk of inflation or deflation. Today I read an article online with some interesting ideas, and I'm going to pass these ideas onto you to help improve the number one concern of all Americans: increasing your income!
Well, that is a good question! We've all heard this term, and are familiar with it, but have we actually taken the time to learn what it means? Never fear, because I did some research so we can all understand it more clearly. "Feng Shui
is an ancient art and science developed over 3,000 years ago in China.
It is a complex body of knowledge that reveals how to balance the
energies of any given space to assure the health and good fortune for people inhabiting it. Feng Shui is based on the Taoist vision and understanding of nature,
particularly on the idea that the land is alive and filled with Chi, or energy.
The ancient Chinese believed that the land's energy could either make or break the kingdom, so to speak."
The first and most important step to using Feng Shui to help increase your financial resources is your attitude! By using energy to help increase wealth, you are counting on cosmic forces to bring you positive results! If you go into this experience with a negative attitude, how can you ever expect this method to work for you? It absolutely won't. You must BELIEVE that wealth and good fortune are coming your way; otherwise all other steps are null and void. Next, Choose the right charm. This step is
also very important. The charm doesn’t have to be anything specific,
just something that you associate with wealth. Even if others
don’t understand what a particular charm has to do with wealth,
remember, it is your space and it’s up to how you associate the item.
It is very important that you avoid filling the home with items you
don’t associate with wealth. This has everything to do with keeping the
right positive attitude! If your parents bought a particular grocery
product when you were a child and in the back of your mind, you
associated that product with being poor (we all know Ramen is the food of poor college students), stop buying that product. The same can be said for clothes
shopping. You don’t have to go out and buy a designer wardrobe, but just
try to keep in mind when you’re out to cover yourself in brands that
you don’t associate with being poor. It may not sound like much, but you
must convince yourself that you are worthy of wealth before wealth will
come to you. For example, if you're going out to the grocery store, carry yourself differently. Maybe in stead of going in your pj's (like I commonly do) - comfortable casuals would be a good alternative.
Keep in mind that the true objective of Feng Shui
is to harness the Chi of the local environment to support us in our
goals and desires. It is a science and practice of looking at the
quality of a person's life by looking at their living environment and
seeking to improve that quality of life by tapping into the natural
energies in that environment. This can have an
impact on gaining new opportunities and being able to take advantage of
them as they arise. Although everyone wants to improve their finances
and and make more money, the first thing to review and improve is
overall health and happiness. If you don't have those two items, the
improvement in finances may be wasted. I hope all our laundry fanatics take these tips to heart! Who doesn't love a little extra cash in their pocket, and a happier lifestyle? I know I sure do! Until next time: live long, prosper, and most of all, keep it clean! :)
