Clutter and Feng Shui
Part of having good feng shui is clutter
management. If anything, clutter is the biggest hindrance you can
have for the best flow of chi, prosperity and goodness in your life.
However, few people are able to manage their clutter wisely. On a
daily basis, we get tons and tons of stuff we won’t be really using
for a long time. Here are some tips for you to help reduce clutter
and invite good Feng Shui.
Anti-Clutter Feng Shui Tip 1: Sort your mail as it comes in
Incoming mail is one of the top sources of clutter. All those bills
are not just stressful if mismanaged and stashed somewhere in your
home, but it is also contributory to clutter in your home. If you
are really serious about getting good Feng Shui, make sure that you
are able to screen your mail. Establish a system for sorting all
your mail. And this also holds true for other papers you may be
keeping in your home. If you neatly categorize them and throw away
the ones you no longer need, you will be much better off.
Anti-Clutter Feng Shui Tip 2: Opt for daily cleanings than reliance
on major general cleanings
A general cleaning schedule is good, but if you are still not in the
habit of cleaning on a regular basis, you may still find yourself
filled with a clutter problem. So the best thing to do when you are
trying to apply good Feng Shui is by exercising your cleaning powers
on a daily basis, not just on a schedule. It does not have to be too
rigorous if done on a daily basis. You can just start with the
cleaning per day one area at a time to accomplish it effectively.
Anti-Clutter Feng Shui Tip 3: Clean as you work
While working on a project, clean as you go. This means that you
will not just leave stuff lying around on the table as you do your
work. This ensures that the work space remains clean, and this also
implies that you are open for more productive work in the future
since the space is wiped free of any traces from previously done
work.
Anti-Clutter Feng Shui Tip 4: Be generous about your stuff
Give away the stuff you don’t need. This is a rule of thumb when it
comes to cleaning up and freeing from clutter. Being generous
involves giving away stuff you don’t really get to use. What you
won’t use for a long time and collect dust may actually be an answer
to somebody else’s problems. Just make sure that you are not
transferring clutter but something that can really be of use to the
person you are giving it to.
Anti-Clutter Feng Shui Tip 5: Dust frequently
Dusting frequently helps keep your place clean. Dust, when
accumulated also forms the clutter which we are really trying to
avoid in Feng Shui.
Anti-Clutter Feng Shui Tip 6: Evaluate your stuff brutally
If at all possible, have a peer to help you evaluate your stuff at
home. What you may hold dear and refuse to part with is not just a
sign of bad Feng Shui but may also be a sign of a hoarding problem.
Aside from addressing your Feng Shui issues, the mindset on clutter
ma also have to be dealt with accordingly.
