Over the last few months, there have been empty shelves at our DIY stores here in the UK.  The Covid-19 lockdown and boredom triggered a DIY frenzy, where people occupied themselves by catching up on all those unfinished projects and repairs that had been on their to-do list for a long time; they never seemed to find the time to complete these tasks due to their normal busy lives.

This free time offered an opportunity to convert what was a very frustrating and worrying time into something positive.  As we all know, having a long list of unfinished projects can play havoc with the mind, causing a lot of stress; this also has a negative effect on your home.

I encourage you to walk around your property, pay attention and with a critical eye, carefully make a list of all the things that need to be repaired and make a plan, focussing on one project at a time. I have made a list below to help get you started…

How does the exterior of your home look; is it well maintained?

• • Is your home in good condition? 
  • Does your garden look cared for?
  • Is the paintwork in good condition?
  • Is your roof in good repair?

Remedy: The appearance of a house and garden on approach is so very important.  A house in disrepair is a big No-No in feng shui, it can attract negative energy.  Ensure your home is clean, in good repair, and attractive to the eye.

Do you have trees around your home?

– Are there any trees touching your home?
– Have you got climbing ivy on the walls of your home?

Remedy: If you do have trees touching your home, then please trim them back as soon as possible otherwise they will drain the energy from your home; cut down any ivy too.  Don’t let your trees and bushes become overgrown, keep them trim and neat.  If you have trees at the back of your garden behind your house, this is great feng shui, because the trees are supporting you.      

Does your home have any leaks?

– Check all your pipes.

– Check your faucets. 

Remedy: Leaking water represents loss; this could be a loss of health or income.  At this time it is essential that you protect both your health and your income. If you do have a leak, then your money could literally be going down the drain.  I recommend you fix this issue as a priority.

Are there any blockages at your property?

– Check your drains regularly.

– Ensure all the gutters are clear.

– Check any faucets. 

Remedy: Unblock any blockages you find and keep a check on them regularly as blockages could have a direct impact on your finances, your career, or your life in general.  A blockage in any area of your life or home can be troublesome.

Window Checklist

– Are your windows clean and gleaming?

– Have your double glazed units failed?  E.g. it has become cloudy or foggy between the panes of glass. 

– Are your sills clean, painted, free of webs, and in good condition?

Remedy: Your windows are the window to your future; keep them clear so you can see what is ahead.  If your windows are misty, then replace the units.  Clean them regularly to keep your vision clear and clear away any webs. TIP: If you are struggling with a decision or problem, cleaning your windows inside and out somehow clears your mind.  Try it; it works for me every time!

How does your home look and feel to you?

– Do you love your home?

– Look around for any paintwork that needs refreshing.

– Are your entrance and home clear of clutter?

– Is there an open space for the energy to move around freely?

– Is your home a happy home?

– Is your house clean and organized?

– Do you feel that everything has come to a standstill?

Remedy: Your home should feel welcoming with a clear entrance so the energy can enter freely.  Paint and repair any items you have found need attention while walking around your home.  Ensure that your clutter hasn’t overtaken the space in your home.  Clutter blocks the natural flow of energy causing your life to become stuck.

If you feel that clutter has stopped your energy flow and no matter how hard you try you aren’t getting the results you deserve; then get out the bin bags and spend 15 minutes every day decluttering.  This will help remove any energy blocks without overwhelming you.  These are small steps overtime to get your life moving again, making space for new opportunities to come in.  Visit my website and receive Free Decluttering Tips.
