Take Time To Honor Yourself

By
Home Stager with Feng Shui Manhattan Long Island #888

How many of us take a moment or even a day or so just to honor ourselves? This is a lesson I am in the process of learning. Since taking over my mother's company, "Feng Shui Long Island, Inc,' full time in 2010, it's been non-stop with setting up meetings for new projects, PR work, marketing, providing workshops, classes, and private consultations, while also writing a book on Feng Shui. 

My lesson within this past month has been about slowing down and getting into a rhythm that does not overwhelm myself. I have begun to pace my work days with a more structured schedule for certian activies while allowing more freedom to doing things I love, such as with photography and engaging in other art forms, attending galleries, getting outside more and just being more social. 

We all need to find our balance.

Laura, finding that balance is one of the main things a lot of us are looking for when we try to learn more about Feng Shui.  You seem to have it pretty much down!

As a caregiver for my husband when he was ill, I made it a point of taking time for myself.  It made me a better caregiver for him.

My life tends to be too much of a roller coaster. I'm taking a play day tomorrow and in general I do that every Sunday.

that's something that I often forget to do.  I don't do a lot for me.

Hi Laura Cerrano ,  It take a while to adjust to change, but you sound like you are adjusting well.

Hi, Laura...you said it. We all have to pace ourselves and find that balance between work and having a life.
