A Quick Fix
Declutter activity for today:
Find at least five items that are broken, chipped, in some sort of disrepair, that deep down you truly know you are never going to fix, and throw them in the trash.
This could include ratty towels, chipped dishes, coffee mugs with the handles broken off, broken children’s toys, pantyhose with runs, paperback books with the cover ripped off, broken lamps or chairs, old musty curtains, costume jewelry with missing gemstones, anything that you are holding onto for nostalgic reasons, or that you keep telling yourself “I will get around to fixing it someday.”
Don’t guilt trip yourself. Don’t “should” yourself. Just release it. Get rid of at least five items so you can free up that emotional and physical space. This should take less than five minutes. Do it for you!
That’s it. Now let’s get on to the fun stuff in our day!
Enliven Your Creativity
Feng Shui activity for today:
Add a symbol
Metal is the element for this area. The more metal, the merrier! Musical instruments, metal bells, and wind chimes with a sound that is soothing to you all belong here.
Loose coins, eating utensils, cooking pots and pans, jewelry boxes can all go here.
Round or circular objects belong here. A round metal clock, round pillows, Frisbees work.
Flat or square items belong here also. A wrought-iron coffee table, computer disks, square metal picture frames, a marble chess set, and of course the television can go here.
Toys and games, candy, magic tricks, Playstation, a child’s finger-painting, any type of music, any artwork that you love should go here.
This is an excellent area to work on your hobbies or crafts.
Lights and lightbulbs symbolize your having “bright ideas.” The lights don’t have to be turned on – they just need to be plugged in and in working order.

Colorize Your Creativity
White is the color for the Creativity area. If your kitchen is in the Creativity area, use your white milk jug to get your creative juices flowing. If your garage happens to be in this area and you have a white car, all the better! Think of an art gallery with its white walls that are ready for an unlimited number of creative endeavors. Make your space free in the same way, ready for your unlimited creative possibilities!
Yellow is also appropriate in this area. Yellow represents earth, which works here. Yellow planters, towels, curtains, dishes are all great here.
Remember, you can use yellow construction paper too. You can even tape it under furniture and place it out of sight.
