A little Feng Shui
Your physical, mental, and relational environments profoundly influence your mood, mindset, and momentum. Intentional leaders recognize this and design spaces that support their goals and well-being. Feng Shui, the ancient Chinese art of harmonizing energy flow, offers practical guidance for creating such environments.
Start with your workspace: position your desk in the “command position”—facing the door but not directly in line with it—to foster a sense of control and security . Incorporate natural elements like plants to enhance vitality and creativity . Maintain a clutter-free area to promote mental clarity and allow positive energy, or “Chi,” to flow freely \\
Now, look at your environment: examine your workspace, calendar, and social circle. What energizes you and what drains you. Make one intentional change today—perhaps repositioning your desk, adding a plant, or setting a boundary on your schedule. Small adjustments can lead to significant shifts in your energy and productivity

“Come with Bells On”
“Come with bells on” – That came out of my mouth while speaking to a few workshop attendees. Where did that come from I wondered. Especially since, it arrived in my mind and out of my mouth without being summoned. A family saying I presumed. Bringing a few bells...

Youth is not a time of life; it is a state of mind; it is a temper of the will, a quality of the imagination, a vigor of the emotions; it is the freshness of the deep springs of life. ....Samuel Ullman (4.13.1840-3.21.1924) an american businessman, poet, humanitarian...

I can’t agree more with this post! Myself, I need order to be able to function.
I have a son who is on the spectrum and we learned early in his life that he was able to cope much better when his bedroom was mimimal and ordered.
I am most definitely one of those people who have to have a clean desk before starting any project. In my craft room, I have assigned areas for different activities; my writing area is away from where the messy crafting happens. This allows me to go from crafting to writing without distraction.
I actually find clutter free to be a bit stressful. It makes me feel as if no one lives in a house if it’s too clutter free. I’m afraid that I’m going to wreck it with my presence. I know that sounds silly, but I do prefer to have a little clutter around. Like my collection of art supplies. I’d like organized and everything having a home, but not clutter free.
