Feng Shui Your New Year’s Resolutions

2015 is upon us! Were you eager to ring in the New Year?

Ms Feng Shui New Year Celebration

I’m curious – did you write any New Year’s resolutions last year? If you did, how did you do?

According to Forbes, just 8% of people achieve their resolutions.

I personally don’t like to make resolutions.

As exciting as it can be to ring in the New Year at midnight separating December 31st and January 1st, I feel like every day should feel like you are ringing in the New Year.

Ring in the New Day!

Ring in a new day every day! After all, even January 1st is a new day, right?

A new day! How exciting is that? We get a new start every 24 hours!

Habits Die Hard… Resolutions Die Easy

Ms Feng Shui Frustration

When people make big resolutions for the New Year, they might stick with them for a couple of weeks… if they’re lucky.

But we tend to forget about our resolutions – we get lost in our old routine.

Life happens. Old habits die hard.

Just 8%, remember?

So why not take it one day at a time?

Keep It Simple

 

We all know what we want, but it is much simpler than we sometimes think.

I would argue that 99% of what we want is to be happy and healthy. It almost all boils down to these two things.

Want to lose weight? Healthy.

Want to get a better job? Happy.

Want to quit smoking? Healthy.

Want to manage debt? Happy.

Want to drink less? Healthy.

Want to take a vacation? Happy.

So, let’s break this down into manageable and achievable daily tasks instead of lofty goals that 92% of us will never achieve.

Make a short list of three to six things you would like to accomplish each day to be just a little happier and healthier than you were yesterday. Keep them simple and specific (call Mom, eat 2 servings of vegetables, write a letter to my best friend, organize my desk, walk one mile on the beach, smile during 50% of phone calls, read a chapter from real estate investment book, research Caribbean resorts, etc.).

Every night or morning, go over the previous list. Physically write “done” or “not done” next to each task. Next, write the small, achievable goals for the next day of activities.

Lather. Rinse. Repeat.

Goals Grow Naturally

You’ll feel good about your accomplishments and will build your confidence in the process. You will naturally begin to challenge yourself.

With time, you will notice that the small and seemingly unimportant tasks sometimes become previously “unachievable” and life-altering tasks (volunteer 2 hours at a homeless shelter, run a marathon, write a guest article for my trade magazine, put in an offer on an investment property, book trip to Grand Cayman, etc.).

Feng Shui Resolutions

So for 2015, don’t overwhelm yourself with a long list of resolutions that you are unsure you can accomplish.

Instead, set a daily goal for yourself to start changing your life a little at a time. This is exactly what I tell my clients – don’t try to change everything at once because it gets overwhelming and you may give up.

Improve one Feng Shui Bagua area at a time – declutter the Career Area around your front door, for instance.

Then, move around the Bagua one area per day in a clockwise direction.

Next Steps

Feng Shui Clutter

Start the New Year by letting go of some “baggage.”

With either physical clutter or energetic clutter, you don’t have room for positive new energy or items unless you clear out the old ones first.

Seriously, eliminate unwanted gifts you have received over the holidays. Just because someone gave it to you, doesn’t mean you have to keep it. Donate it, sell it or throw it out!

Just as you can declutter physical objects in your home, you can declutter bad energy with a Feng Shui Space Clearing.

2015 Year of the Wooden Sheep & Goat

What will my year be like?  What is my fortune for 2015? Will I find love, wealth and a better job in 2015?

2015 is the Year of the Wooden Sheep or Goat in the Chinese Zodiac, or Lunar Calendar. The sheep is seen as a symbol of peace, balance, harmony and calmness. 2015 is also an “8” year in Feng Shui, which means there’s a lot of wealth to be made this year for most in both their personal and professional lives.

Ms Feng Shui 2015 Year of the Sheep Goat

The Chinese New Year doesn’t officially begin until February 19th this year, but that shouldn’t keep us from getting prepared right now!

2015, like any other year, will not be the same for everyone. Just look at your friends and family. Some had a great 2014, while it may have been awful for others. We need to break it down by when you were born – the more precise, the more descriptive the fortune.

Here is general snapshot of 2015 for each of the Chinese Zodiac signs. Please note that I can provide more detail if you give me your accurate birth date and time. If you are interested, please learn more about a Birth Date Numerology Analysis. You will get a month-by-month breakdown of your year specific to you.

These Chinese Zodiac forecasts are good little guidelines to see how you should be presenting yourself in 2015 and how you should arrange your home to make sure you are boosting the energy you need and protecting the areas that needs protecting, like the Health Area of your home.

Don’t know your zodiac sign? No problem. Just click here to find out your Chinese Zodiac Sign.

Ms Feng Shui Chinese Zodiac Signs

  • Year of the Rat: You should watch out for anything you will regret or be blamed for.  Ensure you are doing everything right in your Fame & Reputation Area.
  • Year of the Ox: You should be cautious of any confrontations. The Year of the Sheep and Year of the Ox naturally have jealous energy towards each other, so this year may seem a little confrontational to you.  Boost your Helpful People Corner.
  • Year of the Tiger: You should really keep a close eye on your health and finances.  Make sure you don’t have any plumbing leaks and check on your Health Area and Prosperity Corner.
  • Year of the Rabbit: This is a great year for you! It is the perfect time to make job changes and begin business ventures you have always dreamed of. Just make sure you do what you need to do in your Career Area. Before making any significant moves, find out which months are best for you with a Birth Date Numerology Analysis.
  • Year of the Dragon: You should take extra care in decisions you would like to make this year. Make sure that all the T’s are crossed and I’s are dotted. Use the appropriate areas of the Feng Shui Bagua to maximize your goals.
  • Year of the Snake: You should be able to overcome all obstacles you confront and become very successful. Travel is in the forecast this year. You need to keep a close eye on your finances so they don’t get out of control. Make sure that your Helpful People & Travel Area of your house is in good order. Also make sure you quickly resolve any plumbing leaks.
  • Year of the Horse: You can make your dreams come true this year, especially in love and in your career. You will get the recognition you deserve. Make sure that your Fame & Reputation Area is in good order. It wouldn’t hurt to look at your Love Corner and Career Area, while you’re at it.
  • Year of the Sheep: This is your year, but you should keep a close watch on your health. Use your mind more than being physically active to solve problems. Boost that Health Area of your home.
  • Year of the Monkey: You should have positive outcome in nearly all aspects in life: career promotions, love and stable finances.  To really get the most out of your year, make sure everything is in order in your Career Area, Love Corner, and Money Area.
  • Year of the Rooster: You need to keep singular focus on the goal you want to reach. You can get a bit distracted this year with a lot of changes coming your way. Just remember to keep focus on what you really want. Use the appropriate area of the Feng Shui Bagua to maximize your goal.
  • Year of the Dog: You will be driven by your family’s and loved ones’ happiness more than your career. Take a look at your Family Area for some tips on how to maximize your efforts.
  • Year of the Pig: You will have a happy and stable year. Go ahead with your business or life plans you have been planning, but make sure to double-check your health. Ground yourself by making improvements to your Career Area and Health Area first. Before making any significant moves, find out which months are best for you with a Birth Date Numerology Analysis.

Use these Chinese Zodiac forecasts as a guideline to make sure that your home has good Feng Shui to support the energy it needs to boost your energy or protect your energy.
