Feeling Stuck? Try The “Magic Of 27 Things”

Do you occasionally feel absolutely stuck, when you don’t know what to do next or how to get out of your own way?

Feng Shui has a simple yet surprisingly effective method for getting you unstuck: move 27 things in your space.

You can pick each thing up and put it right back down again, or move it to a different location, or best of all pick up 27 pieces of clutter and move them to the trash (!).

Number 27

I use this old Feng Shui strategy to get myself going on days when things feel sluggish and stuck.

I begin by just picking things up and putting them back down, but before I know it I get on a a roll, putting things away, throwing things out, and easily touching 27 items in no time flat.

It’s fun to count to 27 (a powerful Yang number in Feng Shui) and when I’m done I feel surprisingly really refreshed — my Chi energy is moving once again :)

Try it and see!

    This makes wonderful sense! When I feel overwhelmed I try to bribg myself to take that first step, since, the journey of a thousand miles begins with one step! The single act of going through the magazines to recycle, gets me moving into nearby areas. I will start my day this way tomorrow.
