- 0:28Good morning from the chicken coop.
- 0:30So we are talking about your environment today and I'm
- 0:34talking about your physical environment today.
- 0:36This time of the year in the fall, my mother it.
- 0:39Well she actually did it twice a year.
- 0:40She would do spring and fall and every spring and fall.
- 0:43We had to have a massive lockdown on our house where she
- 0:47would say it's fall cleaning, or it's spring cleaning.
- 0:49And I remember it always take place like the two weeks before
- 0:53Thanksgiving and she would start to change the curtains and wash
- 0:57the windows and get rid of things and go through all the
- 0:59old clothes. And just Purge the environment.
- 1:03And I always found this to be really funny because I didn't
- 1:08like the fall cleaning or the spring cleaning because I always
- 1:10felt when I was a kid that it meant, I had to give stuff up
- 1:13and I didn't want to give my stuff up because she would go
- 1:16through my books and she would make me say she's like, you've
- 1:18already read this, but, and my mother was a bookworm, but she
- 1:22didn't have a problem. Getting rid of books to change
- 1:24them out. She very old school, it's like,
- 1:27okay, I'll trade this book in. We had a little bookstore called
- 1:30Add more and we used to go there and she would trade books in all
- 1:34the time which was cool. And I loved it and hated it at
- 1:37the same time. So for me this whole fall Purge
- 1:42was not oh no I I have mixed emotions about it when I was
- 1:46little but as an adult. Oh my gosh.
- 1:48I just thought about it the other day getting ready for what
- 1:51I was going to talk to you guys about and I was like, as I found
- 1:53myself purging our pantry, my husband and my son went away for
- 1:58the weekend and I was like, okay.
- 2:01Time to purge. And I went in and I said, you
- 2:03know what, there are things in here that we haven't used since
- 2:06we moved here, why do I still have them?
- 2:08Why are they hanging around? Because I felt like the pantry
- 2:11was closing in on me, you know, more stuff, more stuff, more
- 2:14stuff and stuff. We didn't use doesn't stop upon
- 2:16stuff upon stuff and I'm always big on making space for new
- 2:21things to show up. But I can't keep putting that on
- 2:24top of things that are cluttered so I did this big Purge and then
- 2:27I thought, huh? This is really interesting.
- 2:29I'm turning into Race here. I am purging two weeks before
- 2:33Thanksgiving. I started laughing about it and
- 2:35I said, okay, well here we go. We might as well go all the way
- 2:38started. Looking at clothes started,
- 2:40looking at shoes, don't need this.
- 2:41Don't need this. Don't need this.
- 2:42And before you know, it there are four bags going to Goodwill.
- 2:46But what's important about this is that, by the end of it, you
- 2:50feel so invigorated, if you've never done this process, you
- 2:53feel so entirely invigorated by it because it gives you the
- 2:58sense of Peace and and feeling that it's so awesome to have
- 3:04that. So I'm going to give you guys
- 3:07this little test and say what can you go and shift in your
- 3:11environment? Now it might not be a Purge,
- 3:13okay, let me be very clear about this.
- 3:15It might not be a pit Purge, it might be okay, I want to
- 3:17redecorate something. Okay, I've had it with this.
- 3:21This particular thing in my house, you know maybe you're
- 3:24just sick of having some of the stuff.
- 3:25A lots of people have said over the time of covid and our
- 3:29lockdown time. But they're their space needs to
- 3:32be different because he'll, you know, we've been in our space
- 3:35and awful lot and now we're back out again.
- 3:36So we can go get things and change things and listen a
- 3:39little paint on some walls, does a world of good.
- 3:42Maybe it's that you need to go out and you know, get some
- 3:45plants in your house. I mean I'm a huge plant.
- 3:48Not freak. Okay.
- 3:49So self-proclaimed I have no boundaries when it comes to
- 3:53plants I will buy any plant rescue any plant, I love plants
- 3:57and maybe that's it. Maybe you just need to go out
- 3:59and get a plant in your environment because they Make
- 4:00you so happy when you have them. Meanwhile, he's they make me
- 4:03happy, but some people kill them and I understand that.
- 4:06But for me, they just make me incredibly happy to have them.
- 4:09So, maybe that's what you have to do.
- 4:10You have to just brighten it up, maybe it's that you just need to
- 4:13buy yourself flowers because you know, you won't like flowers in
- 4:16your house and you don't have any.
- 4:17So go buy yourself, some flowers, do the things that
- 4:20serve you do, the things that make you feel good, so that you
- 4:24can shift that around and feel incredible in the environment.
- 4:29And Ali change the room around. If you need to swap around where
- 4:33your furniture goes change, small things out.
- 4:36You don't even have to spend a dime on it.
- 4:38Clean wash Purge, get rid of stuff, change the room around
- 4:43say, what can I do in here in different to make it feel
- 4:45better? Energetically now, on a side
- 4:49note, there is something called fengshuiandprosper.com miliar
- 4:52with it. Look it up.
- 4:54It's F ing, sh you. I and this has to do with the
- 4:59placement of items. And the energy they bring into
- 5:02your house when I was introduced to this years ago, I became
- 5:06like. Wow, this is incredible.
- 5:08I wanted to learn all about it. Well, you might think it's a
- 5:11silly thing when you start looking at it at first.
- 5:13But boy, oh boy, it makes a tremendous different.
- 5:17Now, I will say, is it the placebo effect?
- 5:20Or is it real? Does it really matter if it
- 5:22works? I don't think so.
- 5:24I think if it works, then that's the outcome that you wanted.
- 5:27So look it up because it has to do with color place.
- 5:30Basement, energy mirrors, things where water flows, it's very
- 5:35fascinating, and how you divide your house.
- 5:37And again, because we know energy is everything, I think
- 5:41that's an important distinction to make again.
- 5:43Energy is everything whether we understand it or not.
- 5:47So dive into it because it's all about energy, okay.
- 5:51I will see you guys tomorrow. Have a fun time.
- 5:53Purging and energetically reinvigorating your home.
- 5:57All right, and yourself. All right.
- 5:59I'll see you tomorrow. Bye.
- 6:00Bye. Bye.
