3 Ways Feng Shui Helps You Say Yes To What You Want

by @elioverbey

What are you saying yes to? Growing your business, building wealth, creating more fulfilling relationships, living a healthy lifestyle, focusing on personal growth, peace of mind, or living a life with meaning.

You can have whatever you say yes to. But there is a secret and that is what I want to share with you here. I discovered the secret on my way to opening to my yes.

This is the thing we trick ourselves into thinking we are creating a healthy lifestyle, growing our business, or creating more fulfilling relationships.

But what is really happening is, we are saying yes to whatever we are doing.

Your Yes is what you do, not what you think you do or what you imagine you do.

For example, I said I wanted a healthier lifestyle, yet instead of meditating I turned on my computer to check social media first thing in the morning. Instead of exercising I would get involved writing an article, calling clients or creating products. I often chose (notice past tense) chocolate, cookies or potato chips for a snack instead of fruit or nuts.  By doing those activities before my most important Yes, which is me, I forgot to take care of me. All that other “stuff” became my yes.

My awareness led me to realize I was not living the healthy lifestyle I wanted.

What you are doing is your yes. You are doing your yes.

Right now, my most important Yes, is to live a healthy life. There are choices to make that align with that desire.

For me a healthy lifestyle includes meditating, exercising and eating healthy foods. It also includes writing because when I write I get thoughts from my chattering mind onto paper where I learn more about myself.

I am saying yes to painting because when I paint I shift my vibration into a higher place. I enter the quiet place of my Soul self and become one with the paint and canvas. It is as if I show up at the front of the canvas and my Soul shows up at the back of the canvas where a dance begins.

I am also saying yes to creativity because that is where the yes lives. In the stillness where we connect with our intuition and guidance. The place where creative solutions are born. Where we release limiting beliefs and say yes to what it is we want

What is it that you are saying yes to? Not sure, look at what you are doing and your yes will be revealed to you.

You are in charge of your yes.

You get to decide what you want and what you do.

Your thoughts and beliefs are a part of your choices. Sometimes your thoughts limit your potential and possibilities.

Your thoughts are either positive and uplifting or they are negative and draining to you. Those thoughts live within you and are also present in your surroundings.

Just as a picture is drawn by an artist, surroundings are created by the activities of the mind…. Buddha

3 Ways Feng Shui Can Help

Here are 3 ways to open to your yes and create the life you want using Feng Shui Principles.

#1 – Energy space clearing which uplifts the energy in your surroundings and fills your space with light, positivity and possibilities.

The clearing releases the energy of all the people that have lived, worked or visited your space, their fears, anger, depression or communication problems.  It also releases spirits there that may feel stuck between heaven and earth, and energies in your surroundings that may be holding you back. You will be able to feel the difference; your space will be peaceful. One client said she felt like she had been on a wonderful vacation after an energy space clearing. She was happy, relaxed and more confident

#2 – Feng Shui consultation which aligns your surroundings with your intentions. Boosts your confidence, clarity and courage to go for what you want. Creates more ease and flow in your life. A floor plan reading reveals where energy is not flowing, causing you to struggle. You receive Feng Shui adjustments personalized for your situation. Your surroundings are infused with your deepest desires.

#3 – Combination of both an Energy Space Clearing and a Feng Shui Consultation which clears negative energy and spirits from your home and fills it with light, love and peace. Add a Feng Shui Consultation and you align your space with your intentions and fill your surroundings with your sincere dreams and desires.

How are you planning to open to your yes? Awareness is the first step. The next step is to take positive action to manage the energy of your surroundings to free you up to go for your dreams and desires.

What Are You Saying Yes To?

by @elioverbey

What are you saying yes to? Better health, more abundance, fulfilling relationships, more happiness – a meaningful life, or a successful business.

It all starts somewhere, and it starts with what you say yes to. What you are currently doing is your YES. We trick ourselves into believing we are living what we say yes to because if we are not actually doing it we are not really open to our YES.

When I looked at what I said I wanted and what I was doing, there was a gap.

What you are doing is your current YES.

That was my ah-ha moment. I was skipping my morning meditation to check my social media, jumping right into my business instead of exercising and doing everything instead of taking care of me.

Before I knew it I had run out of time.

What are you saying yes to right now in your daily life?

Feng Shui is all about clearing and creating energy in your surroundings to support you in achieving your YES. A space clearing can remove obstacles and low vibrations like fear, anger, and depression from your space. During Feng Shui floor plan reading, I can see the design details of your surroundings that are holding you back and give you remedies.

There is a remedy for everything.

It only makes sense to bring Feng Shui into the picture to clear the way for you to live your most important YES

The Secret Manifesting Formula That You Need To Know

by @elioverbey

I woke up one morning and I knew I had to do something differently.

I was tired of being alone.

I didn’t know what to do.

And I knew I had to make a change. I believe if you want something different you must do something different.

It had been long enough since I used the excruciating pain of the divorce as a fortress protecting me from being vulnerable and trusting another.

The cost of feeling safe was too high – The price was loneliness.

Sometimes you must wait to be ready. You can’t hurry into a change. I know what you are thinking. Nancy, sometimes I get thrown into a change that I don’t feel ready for. Yes, that does happen, and the change unfolds at its’ own pace, whether it is a choice or a circumstance.

The Manifesting Formula To The Rescue

It is all about getting in the flow and setting your manifesting course. Creating what you want is simple when you get into and maintain Flow.

This process connects and aligns your body, mind and spirit with your intention. My body, mind and spirit were operating like a run-away train, moving toward more loneliness and stress. More about this alignment process later.

Step #1 – Dream until you know what you want.  Grab your journal, put on some soothing music, meditate, and begin writing. Let what you want flow onto the paper. I am talking details here.

I wrote a 3-page list of all the qualities I wanted in a partner. From good sense of humor, respectful, compassionate, honest communicator, to someone who was into personal development and growth. I kept adding to this list for more than a week. Oh, yes, I want to include this too a healthy person, from a loving family, a career that he loves, and a positive lifestyle.

You can do this too. Start dreaming about what you want, just start writing about it in as much detail as you can imagine

You are free -flowing your ideas. No filter on what comes up. Write them down. When you see what you want written down you begin to paint the picture of your desire.

You are the artist of your life – what do you want to paint on your life’s canvas?

Step #2 – Refine your list. Eliminate some items and clarify others. You might discover something new you want to add to the list and picture you are creating.

Write your list in a positive way, incorporating what you want not what you don’t want.  An example I am happy with my new partner, not I don’t want a relationship that makes me feel upset.

I took that original 3-page list and combined some ideas while eliminating others. I focused on what my “must haves” in a partner.

Step #3 – Putting it all together – the body, mind and spirit

The goal here is to connect and align the body with the mind and with the spirit.

The Mind is about your mindset. Think about what you want. You must believe beyond a shadow of a doubt that you are manifesting what you want no matter what is happening around you.

Hold the belief that it is on its way and stay focused. When you get off track by life, bring yourself back to your vision of what you want. If you slide off track again, tell yourself to get back to your vision. Keep doing that every time you get sidetracked from what you want.

You are creating a new way of thinking by believing in your dream. It takes practice. The more you do it the easier it gets.

I knew my ideal partner was on his way to me. When I wavered, I pulled myself back to my belief and focused on the joy that was coming to me.

The Spirit is about your feelings. Your feelings come from a deep place within that is connected to your inner guidance and Soul.

When you are quiet enough to connect to those feelings, believing it is simple.

Imagine the feelings you will have when you manifest your dream. Is it joy, happiness, generosity, peace, love, excitement, passion and beyond?

Let yourself bask in those feelings, allowing the feelings to permeate every cell in your body.

Positive feelings enhance flow and help connect your body and your mind with your spirit.

What do you do if your feelings go negative? Feel them, let them pass through and move back to your vision.

I spent time everyday basking in the feelings of my ideal partnership. This is a critical step.

The Body is about movement. When you move you keep the energy/chi moving, creating positive inner flow through your system.

Your inner flow relies on your activities. You can do slow movements like yoga, tai chi, chi gong, stretching, walking and gardening. Faster movements like running, dancing, kick boxing, and riding a bike keep your energy flowing too.

Your body movement connects the mind and spirit creating the manifesting trifecta.

There is a dance going on between the mind, spirit and body all the time. When harmony is created manifesting happens.

Here Is How The Manifesting Formula Worked For Me.

  • I created my list for the ideal partner
  • I Refined the list
  • I use the manifesting trifecta – mind, spirit and body
  • I placed my list on my home altar

My Results – within 3 months I met my current husband. He had all the qualities on my list. At one point I showed it to him. His comment “This is me, you put in an order for me”.

That is exactly what happened.

It worked for me, I know it can work for you.

9 Tips to Overcome Procrastination and Boost Your Confidence – Part 2

by @elioverbey

In part 1 you met Francine, she was struggling with procrastination in the area of her health and happiness. Have you ever wanted to get healthier and not been able to get started or started but not been able to stay with it?Read Part 1 Here

Meet Francine, a small business owner, author, wife, mother, effective communicator,  and spiritual seeker. She had solid relationships with her clients, friends and family.

There was that one area of her life that kept her frustrated because she could not get started or if she started she could not stay with it.

The doctor told her if she lost 15 pounds she would feel better, have more energy, and help her heart be healthier.  Part of her knew he was right and part of her believed she would be on the road of endless sacrificing. She just wanted to be thinner without giving up the foods that she loved.

Francine had talked about dieting but never actually made the changes that would make her happier and, healthier. She always said she would start next Monday. When next Monday arrived she would procrastinate by finding other activities to keep her too busy to pay attention to her health.

Everyone procrastinates on something. It’s important to recognize that Francine and you are not alone, procrastination is normal, and there are strategies you can embrace to get through it.

In fact, procrastination is so common that strategies have been tested and proven. Here are the top four tips to overcome procrastination from part 1 Read Part 1 here

Tip #1-  Give it Five or Ten

Tip #2 –  Find Your Why

Tip # 3 –  Work on Your Discipline

Tip #4 – Set Realistic Goals

 

Here are tips 5 through 9 to help you overcome procrastination Part 2

Tip # 5 – Visualize the Completed Task

Imagine you have completed the task. See it completed. Let yourself feel the feelings you’re going to feel when the task is done. How will your life be improved? How will you feel about yourself?

It doesn’t matter if it’s a big project or a small one, this strategy works.

When you can imagine the outcome, it’s easier to get started on the work.

Tip # 6 –  Make it Fun

Think about what you can do to make the task fun. Would it be more enjoyable to do it at a coffee shop?

Could you listen to your favorite music while you work on the task?

Or maybe you can enlist a friend to keep you company or help you out. Even the most boring tasks can be more enjoyable with the right approach.

Tip #7 – Positive Mindset Development

Wipe away all negative thoughts and language around the task you’re procrastinating on.

For example, if you catch yourself thinking, “I hate cleaning my desk.” You might change that to “I love having a clean desk. I feel more productive and creative when I have a clean desk.”

Then, you can focus on what is possible about the task or project and let go of the negativity.

Tip #8 –  Break Up Projects

Break up large projects you’ve been procrastinating on into smaller bite sized tasks.

Often, we avoid doing some things because we know they’re going to take too long.

You control this. For example, instead of painting the entire house, you might paint one room each month until the project is done.

You get to decide how the project is managed and completed.

If you’re procrastinating on a work project, you may not get to decide how it’s managed but you can still break it up into smaller pieces that feel more doable.

Tip #9 – Group Similar Tasks and Projects

Sometimes a task you’re putting off doing is related to other tasks. For example, cleaning your desk and updating your files are two tasks that may overlap.

When you group similar tasks and projects, it helps you be more productive. It also helps you capitalize on a productive mindset and feel accomplished when you’re finished.

One project runs into the next and you are done with that dreaded project before you know it.

How To Get Started

Look at the tasks and projects you’ve been procrastinating on both in your personal and your professional life.

One of these nine strategies is sure to help you push through and get the job done.

Identify the strategy that may work best for you and enjoy your success. Procrastination doesn’t have to derail you or slow you down.
