Feng Shui is all about balance. It specifically relates to balancing the energy in your home, which then has a positive impact on you and your own personal energy, resulting in positive change happening in your life. But as well as working on the energy in your home to create balance (good Feng Shui), it is also important to work with your own personal energy to balance your inner Feng Shui.
There are many ways that you can do this, and you will want to make sure that you are doing it regularly. Check in with your energy and how you’re feeling every day because how you feel relates directly to the results that you achieve in your life and the life situations you find yourself in. When your energy is balanced, your life will have flow to it. You’ll handle difficulties and challenges much more easily because you’ll be centered and grounded.
Here are some ideas for balancing your inner Feng Shui:
Personal Care – this involves doing nice things for yourself, taking care of yourself. Giving your body what it needs and can include things like:
- Getting a massage
- Giving yourself time to sit and read a book
- Going out to do something enjoyable, such as going to a movie
- Meditation
- Exercise
- Going for a walk
- Yoga, tai chi, etc.
Changing your thoughts – this means paying attention to what you’re thinking and noticing when your thoughts are not positive, are judgmental, or are not in alignment with what you want. For example, if you are working on developing a loving, healthy relationship with your spouse, but you constantly find yourself thinking about what they are not doing right, or the things they do that annoy you, you’ll sabotage your efforts. If you find yourself thinking those kinds of thoughts, you’ll want to change them to more positive ones – instead of focusing on what they’re doing wrong, focus on what they’re doing right, and on the things you love about them, rather than the things that irritate you.
Changing behavior patterns – you’ve heard the saying “if you keep doing the same things in the same way, you’ll keep getting the same results.” If the same or similar situations keep coming up for you, then there are some behaviors that you need to change. Stop and look at what the pattern has been around this issue. Instead of complaining about it, try to identify the beliefs that create the behavior. Is it a learned behavior? Something that goes way back to what you learned at school or from your parents? For example, if you are a chronic worrier, and you know that one of your parents was too, and you take after him or her, don’t think that it has to always be that way. You can change that pattern if you identify it and take the steps necessary to change it.
Keeping good company – Jim Rohn said that “you are the average of the 5 people you spend the most time with.” It’s so true. If you want to create positive change, and if you want to feel better about yourself and your life, then you need to spend more time with positive, supportive, encouraging, uplifting people. Spending time with people who complain all the time, who drain your energy, who criticize or don’t offer you support will literally suck the life energy out of you. Spend time with people who energize you.
These are just some of the ways that you can develop and maintain good inner Feng Shui – a sense of peace, calm and balance. This, in turn will bring positive people and experiences into your life. When you encounter challenges you will face them in a calm and assertive way, you won’t let them knock you down.
So when working on Feng Shui, don’t just focus on the outer environment, work on your inner Feng Shui as well and you’ll be on the way to living a much more fulfilling and enjoyable life.
