In these stressful times, doing everything we can to be at peace and improve our well-being is so important. Feng Shui is all about balance and positive energy. When we make Feng Shui enhancements in our home, and expect results, we must remember that these adjustments are only 1/3 of the equation. Our destiny, and our actions make up the other 2/3 of the formula. We may have little control over our destiny, but our actions are completely within our reach. This is where acts of kindness come in.
Practicing Inner Feng Shui begins by being kind to yourself. For example, being kind to yourself can involve saying affirming things to yourself or focusing on what you can control, such as deep breathing, meditating, enjoying nature, or changing your situation by doing a good deed each day. This will change the course of energy. A simple act of kindness can make an impact. When one does something good, solely for the benefit of another, the reality is that they both benefit.
Kindness is important for many reasons, including improving your well-being:
- It can deepen friendships and create safety in
relationships by encouraging understanding and vulnerability.
- It can help create and strengthen social
connections. It can help people feel a sense of belonging, make new
friends, and connect with their communities.
- It can reduce stress, anxiety, and worry. It can also improve feelings of confidence, optimism and well-being.
- It can boost the immune system, lower blood
pressure, and increase the production of feel-good hormones like dopamine,
oxytocin, and serotonin.
- Kindness can make the world a happier place and encourage others to be kind as well.
Begin doing an act of kindness a day and watch your Feng Shui energy change for the good!
