27 Things

 

There‘s still a lot of anxiety on the cusp of this NEW YEAR coming into the Wood Dragon.

With all the world’s problems going on already, how can 2024 harness this anger and cultivate more trust? Ultimately, make things better?
The first thing you need to do to begin in your own space.

In order to make change, one needs to CHANGE something.

You can make ‘change’ anytime you wish. Yet, it’s always motivating to have a logical reason:

A big birthday.

A full moon.

An Anniversary.

A religious holiday.

Welcoming a the New Year.

When you are stepping into a new experience, expect something exciting to happen!

Need help to begin the process?
Don’t WAIT for the special event date to start making change. Plan to start early, the CUSP of the event, or even 7-10 days before the special date.

That way, when you wake UP on the ‘morning of’ everything should be in place.

 

Disorder at home= disorder in your life!

When people are stuck, often they are living in a stuck environment. We talked a while back about opening the windows to get in some fresh chi-energy. And, there is so much more to consider.

In the colder months, it’s easy to stay inside where it is warm and cozy with the windows closed.

Yet, we have first-world problems. In our modern-day times, we are flooded with packaging, recycling, storage bins, and Amazon boxes to dispose of.

Just taming the in-outs moving through our homes can be overwhelming.

Things and stuff pile up, in fact we are stuffed with all the STUFF in our homes.

This is a GREAT TIME of the year for us to take change; step into ACTION!

I’ve had a lot of success with myself and clients with the 27 Things Challenge.

It is most rewarding.
The challenge is self-monitored; but I can check up on you! (wink)

The task: To collect 27 things and remove them from your home.

You can either gift these items, toss, donate or even MOVE them to a spot where they can be of use.
Note: A pair of shoes can count as one thing. However, if you have a whole box of shoes, you don’t wear anymore, that ‘should’ count as one item.

What I find is that, once a person gets started, the sorting process is much easier.
If I know the home is in dire need of a full culling.
I will plan a follow up call to ask about the process and I’m always greeted with some great enthusiasm of great progress!

I may assign the same task again: Collect 27 MORE things and remove them from your house … and maybe a second or third day for this culling.

Odd, how this momentum works; the ripple effect:

One lady texted me on the 3rd day to tell me ‘We must have moved 1000 things today’! Hubby and I are working together to clear out the basement and garage- AND we’re going have a yard sale on the weekend and make some money! ‘How exciting for them!

Another lady informed me that she can now get her car in the garage! So, I suggested she feng-shui her car; cull the mess out of there too!
She reported back a few days later, very excited; “It feels like I have a brand-new car! “

There’s numerous ‘wins’ of people finding stuff thought to have disappeared.

  • One lady found her mother’s diary.
  • Another found her favorite socks.
  • A girlfriend of mine found some odds & bits of gold jewelry and a gold crown! She sold everything for several hundred dollars!

By making room to breathe, you’ll have room for more!

I regularly do this exercise spring and fall; just to keep things fresh!

It gets easier, as I now have a system in place. ONCE you have a system, it can be EASY to just KEEP DOING it – every time you bring something into your home!

HERE’S a bit more inspiration for you to take the 27 Thing Challenge:

The number 27 is auspicious as 2 + 7 = 9!
Nine is the highest digit we have before reducing everything back to ZERO!

We are just entering a New Age for ‘energy’ in the New Year!

– It’s also a number NINE! Let’s harness this ‘NINE ENERGY’ and hang on to the ride ahead!

**9**

Clean up. Make Room for Abundance. Let’s prosper this year!

 

Wishing you a wonderful ride into 2024!
Kathryn
