Feeling Uncreative? Let Feng Shui Help You Retrieve that Spark

 

There are times when you can be a whirlwind or creativity, and other times you feel in the doldrums. When this happens, how do you regain that creative spark?  Did you know that just applying some easy Feng Shui principles to your home can give you the boost of motivation, and creativity you need. Your space is more than happy to help you create the life that you want; all you need to do is shift the energy, and visualize.

                                                    

Years ago, I learned of the clever acronym DRVN and saw how easily it applied to the Feng Shui Principles.

Think of the acronym – DRVN, (Driven) when you:

• Declutter 
• Rearrange (Enhance) 
• Visualize
• Nurture with Nature

Here are 4 easy ways your home can help you energize you and your creativity:

1) Declutter: Piles of old, forgotten, unused items cluttering your home will stifle your creativity. The more clutter, the less creative you can be.  Make decisions about your things and clear them up, with the intention that new energy, creative ideas, and opportunities will come your way. Decluttering is always one of the first steps in Feng Shui transformation, as it begins to move the Ch’i (the vital life force energy streaming through your home.)                                         

                                       

2) Redecorate and enhance a room or just rearrange some items in your home using Feng Shui principles; this changes the perception of your space. When you look at things differently, your brain registers the new patterns in your environment and can set up new patterns in your thinking. I call this “shaking up the Ch’i.”

                                       

3) Visualize yourself in a creative endeavor. Write, state, or picture yourself succeeding in a creative pursuit as if it is already happening. For example, “I have completed my first book”, or “I am thoroughly enjoying my flower arranging class.”

                    

4) Nurture yourself with nature: When in a creative slump seek the out of doors; go on a hike, work in your garden, enjoy a picnic, or just bring fresh flowers into your home.   By surrounding yourself with nature you relax, rejuvenate and open channels to inspiration.

                                     

                    

You are DRiVeN to creativity.  Your space is being creatively used in a new way and will in turn inspire you to creativity. Embrace this renewed energy!
