As White As Snow

2010-02-12T10:35:00.000+01:00

There was quite a nice surprise this morning when we woke up: it was snowing!!!
Snow in Rome is very unusual: last time our garden was covered with snowed was 11 years ago.
So today is certainly painted in white, as white as snow.
Below are some pictures of this very exceptional event: what you see is my garden and the area where I live.

Have a nice day!

Don't Let Procrastination Steal Your Dreams

2010-02-06T18:45:00.035+01:00

Procastination is one of our worst enemies.It prevents you from fulfilling your dreams and accomplishing your projects. When you keep postponing something, it doesn't get done and keeps haunting you. Thus you are never completely free to focus your attention to your favorite activities and occupations.

Procrastination blocks you; it forces you to stay where you are now. You will never go on, never make that choice, never make that call; you will never go to that restaurant, or office, or meeting or party and maybe you will miss the only golden opportunity that would have changed your life forever.

I am one who tends to procrastinate a lot. However I have decided to work on my tendency to procrastinating. I have chosen a book by Napoleon Hill that is really changing my life. Click on the book image below and change your life too.

Let Energy Flow Freely

2010-01-30T16:05:00.000+01:00

Whenever we feel extremely and inexplicably tired, it's because our energy level has gone down. This drop of energy is due to several reasons: overwork, inappropriate diet, sleep disorders, just to name a few. But another reason, one many of us are unaware of, is the clutter we tend to surround ourselves with.

Clutter tends to accumulate in some areas of our house. Have a look at this article to discover Clutter's Favorite Hiding Places.

For a better control of our energy and in order to live in an enviroment that increases our energy level, we should get rid of all those unused items that prevent positive energy from flowing freely. Click here for some strategic decluttering tips.

Identifying Clutter in Your House

2010-01-16T10:39:00.002+01:00

When you want to create balance and harmony in your house, you need to clear your space of all those things that cause an accumulation of negative energy or, in other words, clutter.
Clutter is anything useless or unused that you keep for any reason (I may need it sometime in the future, for example) and forget about.

Let's identify some types of clutter:

Books: some people find it very hard to get rid of books. Clinging to old books prevents new ideas and new thoughts from coming into your life. You stick to old thought patterns and your energy becomes oldfashioned and stale like your books.
Photographs: what's the point in keeping your pictures closed up in boxes or drawers? Let's enjoy them: hang them on your walls, send them as postcards to your friends and relatives, enjoy their energy when it's still fresh. And get rid of all those pictures that remind you of sad times.
Collections: when you collect something it's because you need the energy attached to it. So it is important to understant why you are collecting it and maybe replace your collection with something else. Let's make room for something new.
Things that need to be fixed: they also drain your energy. Broken or faulty things that should be taken care of reflect the lack of care for yourself. When you take care of your house and belongings, you take care of yourself. So fixing these things is an investment on yourself.
Somebody else's belongings: you know, that sofa your friend could not keep because he moved to a smaller house? Why should it take room in your house that you could feel with the energy you choose?

I'm sure that while you where reading this post you realized how much clutter you keep in your house. You are probably thinking: "Maybe I should start and do something about it, but where should I start from? And if I need that bag later and I have thrown it away in the meantime?" In this case a non-traumatic decluttering approach can be the right solution. Have a look at this article.

Everything Is Alive

2010-01-14T13:42:00.001+01:00

All things in this world have living energy known as Ch'i (or Ki). These include our material possessions, such as furniture, computers, appliances, as well as plants, rocks and buildings. Every physical thing has its own Ch'i with its peculiar qualities as well as the Ch'i qualities that we add to it with our own memories, reactions and experiences. A joyful memory attached to a simple object gives it vital Ch'i that you feel whenever you look at it: your favourite doll when you were only six, a sea shell that your picked up during a special vacation, a picture of you and your mum or dad. These are examples of objects whose particular Ch'i is enriched by the happy emotions you feel every time you look at them.

Objects you don't like or that have unhappy memories attached to them do not carry supportive, healthy Ch'i. So, let go of these objects: sell them, throw them, give them away! They can be another person's treasure.

Everything is related to every other thing: whatever you do, think, say affects your environment and those who live around you. A cluttered environment has a chaotic Ch'i and has a restrictive effect on the whole space and on the people living in that space, generally producing blocks in some spheres of these people's lives.
For example, a crowded closet can affect your punctuality or prevent you from receiving a promotion, or can produce financial stress or health disorders. Things that may appear insignificant - an uncomfortable sofa, a creaking chair or a harsh light - may have a major impact in your life.
On the other hand, a neat bedroom or hallway can positively affect your creativity and relationships or your financial situation.

Ch'i is always changing. Change is a constant characteristic of our universe.
Change is everywhere - our bodies, the seasons, our emotions, the city we live in. Along with their natural phisical change, our homes and workplaces also reflect the changes occurring in their inhabitants.
An old-fashioned piece of furniture, an overgrown bush in your garden, a picture associated with an unhappy memory suddenly cry out for change. By making those changes, you bring fresh, positive and living Ch'i into your environment and suddenly feel in harmony with it again.

It's interesting to notice that an environment can pull you back into old patterns or create blocks in some sphere of your life if no changes are made in the house or workplace that reflect the changes you have undergone. The environment you live in acts as a huge magnet, holding old thought patterns and attracting experiences that reflect that old thought patterns.

There is an old chinese saying: "If you want to change your life, move 27 things in your house". So you must change your environment so that it fits who you are now and who you want to be.

Change is an integral part of life and you can use it to attract anything you want.

To your successful changes.

Let's Focus on What We Want to Attract Money

2009-10-23T10:35:00.003+02:00

We often worry obsessively about a shortage of money or not being able to pay our bills or buy something we want. When we do so, we make the situation evern worse. We know that "lack" is the condition of not having something we want. Lack is not the absence of money, or health, or love. Those are just the symptoms of lack.

Lack is simply the blockage of energy. When it comes right down to it, everything is energy. When we experience lack of any kind, this is a sign that we are cutting off the natural flow of energy through our life. Every time we worry about our financial situation, a shortage of money, or feel stressed about not being able to pay our bills, we attract more of the experience of lack into our life.

Law of Attraction Think Rich Lesson: Focus on What You DO Have and DO Want

It may sound incredibly difficult to focus on the positive when our life doesn't look so rosy, but it is vital to find a way to do it. When we focus on the good things we already have and think about the things we want from an optimistic and hopeful state of mind, we inevitably attract more of them into our life.

There are many ways to begin focusing our thoughts on the things we do have and do want. Start a gratitude journal and write down a few things each day we are grateful for. We can also visualize having more money and imagine being able to pay our bills easily. The more we focus on things like this, the more they will begin to show up in our life.
