Grab some garage sale stuff
Declutter activity for today:
Find three items that are worth at least $5, that you have outgrown or that you never liked in the first place, and put them in a box for our group’s garage sale this spring.
If you think you may change your mind and remove the items from the box, and put them back on the shelf, email Shirley and we can store the items for you so you won’t re-clutter your home with things that you know you do not need.
This should take less than five minutes. That’s it for today!
This idea is from our very own Melissa!
Enliven your Skills with Color
Feng Shui activity for today: Add a color
- Blue is the color for this area. Anything blue will do. Hang your blue jeans in a corner.
- Black symbolizes water and is appropriate here.
- Wood is the element for this area. Green symbolizes wood, so use green plants, dollar bills, green clothes, green paint.

Book Drop
Still working in the Skills and Knowledge area of our homes:
This area may not seem glamorous, and you may think that you should focus your attention on the Prosperity area of your home, but this area deserves equal attention. When prosperity starts to show up in your life, if you don’t have the wisdom, skills and ability to handle the increased resources, the money will flow right through your hands. Enhancing this Wisdom (Skills and Knowledge) area will allow you to more easily accumulate the things you want out of life.
Declutter activity for today:
Books and magazines. We buy them, we read them, but do we really need to keep all of them? Today is a good day to go through that stack of magazines, and browse your bookcases. Pull out any books and/or magazines that you do not love, do not use, and that you will probably never read again.
Box them all up and add them to our upcoming Prosperity Project garage sale, or take them down to your local thrift store. Now enjoy the feeling of freedom that comes from freeing up space in your life.

Add substance to Skills and Knowledge
Feng Shui activity for today:
Add a symbol to the Skills and Knowledge area.
Books are the perfect enhancement for this area. Use bookends that symbolize a skill you would like to master.
Light will energize this area. Lamps with light bulbs, lanterns, candles work here, hence the sayings “Shed some light on the subject” and “Gain enlightenment.”
If you kitchen is in this area, create the intention that all your food becomes “food for thought.”
Symbols that remind you of wisdom belong here – a lamp of knowledge, the scales of justice, a judge’s gavel, a chess game, a straight-A report card, intelligent dolphins will work.
Symbols of mentors or wise people – a statue of Solomon from the Bible, the three Wise Men, Merlin the magician, Yoda, Einstein, or Gandhi can be depicted here.
Metal works here – as in “Sharp as a tack” and “Razor-sharp mind.”
Water invites wisdom your way. Place wood here with the intention that it attract wisdom. Place your meditation items here, or an altar of thanksgiving. This is the area for your hobbies and crafts.

Another hot spot fire drill
Declutter activity for today:
A Hot Spot Fire Drill
Find the one Hot Spot that is still out of control. When you walk into a room, the Hot Spot is the first thing you see. Before it becomes a clutter inferno, set your timer for 3 minutes. Quickly grab any items that do not belong here and put them away. Throw away any trash. Put away the items have just been left out. That’s all! At the end of three minutes, stop. We are done decluttering for today.

The rubber meets the road
Day Eighteen:
Still working in the Career area of our homes
When it comes to traveling on your life path, are you stopped at a red light? Is your life path filled with potholes? Are you stuck in gridlock and there’s no exit in sight? Bringing balance into the Career area of your home will work as your 24-hour roadside assistance program!
Declutter activity for today:
If you are looking for direction in your life, or are scattered from so many possibilities and choices, go to your closet and check your shoes. They are the “rubber meeting the road” when it comes to your getting anywhere. Arrange all your shoes in the closet so they are facing the same direction. Find one pair of shoes that you no longer need, and put them in the box of items for our garage sale. That’s it for today!
Get on with the fun stuff today!

Get your career moving
Feng Shui activity for today:
- Add a symbol (to your career area)
Water is the element for this area. An aquarium, a fountain, or a vase of good clean water will do. Symbolic water works too – a snowy scene in a picture, a watercolor painting, starfish, or seashells work great here.
The shape of water is free-form and undulating, so any shape will work, except for square shapes (which symbolize earth, and we don’t want earth damming up our free-flowing water.)
Mirrors equal water (and they let you see how fabulous you look dressed for your new career!) Place the mirror at a level where you can look yourself in the eye and see your entire head, so you will get ahead in business.
Glass is another water element –
- Vases
- Aquariums
- Fish bowls
- Stemware
Metal of any kind works here, as well as round items –
- Coins
- Bells
- Plant pots
- Light fixtures
Hang symbols here of the Life Path you want to be on. If you want to be in the music industry, pipe music into this area, or place instruments or CDs here. If you want to be a stockbroker, a picture of Wall Street or a copy of the Wall Street Journal should be here. While you are adding symbols of your life path, be sure to remove pictures of things you would never want to do in your life.
Two activities to help the energy in your Career area:
Place some uncooked rice in a bowl. Take all the miscellaneous change you accumulate each day and place it in the bowl. Do this for thirty days. After thirty days is up, count up all the change, and give 10% to your favorite charity or a homeless person.
Write down the things you think you want out of life, or the things you think you need to begin a career, on pieces of paper – one item per paper. Fold up the papers and place them in a bowl, and stir them with a big spoon or your hand each day for nine days. All of your intentions and requests that once did not have any chi behind them will now be enlivened and start to work for you because you are stirring them up.
