Simple Ways To Create Good Fengshui

Do you believe in Fengshui?

I absolutely do!​ :)

My interests in Fengshui started in my late teens when I would spend hours at the library reading any Fengshui books that I can find and jot down important notes for self-learning and personal reference.

In the recent years, I got to know a well-known local Fengshui Grand Master and from his teaching, guidance and advanced knowledge, I have a better understanding on the concept and the fundamental of Fengshui that could improve personal luck, home life, relationships, health, career and more...

In Singapore, many famous landmarks in the country, such as Gardens By The Bay, Merlion Park, Marina Bay Sands, Jewel Changi Airport and Fountain of Wealth at Suntec City are tourist attractions, these​ architectural buildings​ are designed with specific Fengshui placements that would bring peace, harmony, wealth and prosperity.​ Even banks, hotels and restaurants all over the world hire professional Fengshui​ practitioners​ to audit the interior and exterior of their properties to generate good business.

                          
               

                   

Many successful business tycoon like, Jack Ma, Li Ka-Shing and famous celebrities like Steven Spielberg, Oprah Winfrey, and Madonna​ believe the power of Fengshui can enhance business wealth, career opportunities, fame and success.

People often asked..."Can Fengshui make you rich?"

In my honest opinion, I don't think Fengshui can make everyone rich. If so, no one will be working today.lol.​ However, Fengshui can help to attract wealth, helpful people, opportunities that can improve your luck, business, career and financial gain etc. I believe you in hard work, perseverance and self-discipline is the key to success and victory, but a little booster of Fengshui doesn't harm either.:)

Here are 5 simple ways to create good Fengshui :

Tip 1 :

Keep the house clean, tidy and bright. Open the windows everyday and let the sunlight in. If the living room is dark, add more lighting to increase positive energy. Clear away clutters, remove all broken objects, rotten plants, damaged furniture and faulty electrical appliances. The front door and walkway should not be obstructed with any bulky items, keep the entrance neat and spacious to​ allow good energy to flow freely.

Tip 2 :

Do NOT keep any medication on the dining table. Taking medicines at the dining table leads to poor health and prolonged sickness. Keep all medication in the cabinet. Place only food items at the dining area.

Tip 3 :

Eating together as a family is a blessing. It builds stronger bonding, happiness, harmony that promote good energy in a household. A home filled with joy and laughter is good Fengshui.

Tip 4 :

Do NOT store anything under the bed. Avoid putting books, toys, old photos or junks underneath, this may cause mental stress, sleepless nights, arguments and poor concentration.​ Clear the bed area to improve sleep quality.

Tip 5 : 

Everything around us, people, things and places have Yin and Yang energy.(Chi) Stay away from negativity. Don't participate in any gossips and nasty acts, as what goes around comes around, it's only a matter of time. Always practice kindness and gratitude. Embrace your moral values. Be filial to your parents, be kind to others, help the needy and spread positive vibes! Good karma attracts good fortune and blessings.

*Bonus Tip*

To increase wealth and money luck, use a long wallet/purse. Black or Brown is recommended.

                   

I use a long purse, it contains my ID, cash, credit cards and driving licence. Do not keep receipts, clinic cards, discount coupons etc. (You can put them in a card case if you like) Change a new wallet if the old one is torn, dirty or discolored. A wallet is a storage of your personal wealth, so get a good one to preserve your finance and income.

Well, some people may feel that Fengshui is just some superstitious beliefs, but the ideology and the practice of Fengshui has a long history over more than 3000 years, since the ancient time till the modern world today.

                    

Fengshui isn't just about placing exquisite lucky ornaments, water fountains, crystal balls and fortune cat etc.. Each direction, colors, numbers, 5 Elements,​ bazi, birth charts, represents different aspects in Fengshui analysis.

                         

(*The Golden Luo Pan is a Fengshui Compass to determine and calculate the precise directions of the premises. Use for homes and​ office.)

Fengshui Facts :

Life isn't a smooth sailing journey, there will be challenges and setbacks along the way.​ Fengshui may improve your life, but keep in mind that it is NOT a magic tool and definitely not the antidotes to solve all the problems.​ Sometimes, we still have to experience some hard lessons to elevate our strength and wisdom to be a better person.

Nothing comes easy in life, we reap what we sow, without hard work and consistent efforts, there is no long-lasting results and rewards.

My principles of rule is, as long as it is not illegal and not hurting anyone, it's OK to practice what you believe and what makes you feel at ease.​ 

Understand that the main objective of Fengshui is to create a good balance environment with positive energy (Chi) that encourage good fortune, happiness, success and prosperity that will improve your quality of life.

2023 is the year of the water Rabbit. I hope it will be better year for all. Here's wishing everyone a happy and a prosperous new year with great opportunities and abundance​ of blessings.​

                   

Have a fun Chinese New Year celebration​ and Gong Xi Fa Cai!​ 🧧🍊🍊

Practical Ways To Boost Self-Confidence

Living in a surreal and competitive world today, we are challenged to cope with emotions, work ethics and tackle different situations. Good interpersonal skills and self-confidence can enrich work performance, social equity and welcome doors of opportunity. Self-confidence is trusting your abilities to handle obstacles and resolve problems in a productive manner.

However, most people struggle some form of insecurities in relationships, financial, body image, social anxiety from time to time and feel withdrawn from life temporarily, this is perfectly normal, since it is not humanly possible to feel positive and be confident 24/7. Self-confidence isn't an overnight process, but the good news is, we can cultivate and master this skill. There are several ways to build self-confidence that we can practice in our daily life.

Speaking from an introvert whom I used to be in my teens. Self-confidence can take years to develop, but through life experience, adversity and major breakthroughs, the transition has evaluate my strength, knowledge and confidence today, so allow me to share some humble tips and advice from *my personal experience.

Here are some practical ways to boost Self-Confidence...(You're welcome!😉)

Smile
A friendly smile is the best ice-breaker for any social events/activities and meeting new people. Smiles are pleasing and captivating, it makes a person appear warm, lovable and approachable. A genuine smile never goes wrong! You may even attract secret admirers.lol😄

Maintain Eye Contact
Keep your eyes on the person as you speak, it's a sign of confidence and showing interest, but if you feel awkward and uncomfortable to look deep into their eyes. (*Try looking at the nose or the center region of the face) Avoid fidgeting too much, looking away or glancing your phone. Your body language reflects your confidence.

                    

Speak Clearly and Concisely
Speak with a bright tone and a normal speed. Don't mumble the words or speaking too fast and too soft. Be diplomatic in a conversation and speak tactfully with respect. That way, people are more likely to listen and pay attention to your speech.

Keep Your Word 

If you made a promise or a mutual agreement, be responsible and get things done in order. When we uphold our words, we show trust, respect, reliability and commitments. Confidence is often built on accomplishments.

                   

Do The Right Thing
I value good morals and justice. At times, you must speak up, be seen, be heard and stand up for yourself when there is a problem or something is wrong. Stand firmly on what you believe and act with integrity. Do what is right, not what is easy!

                         

Dress Up and Be Well-Groomed
The right outfits, designs, style and colors can enhance your appearance and boost self-confidence. You don't need to dress like a model or have the perfect body to look cool! The key is to dress smart, comfortably and appropriately. Make some efforts to groom yourself, take care of your skin, hair and wear some light make-ups, it will make you look more radiant and refreshed. When you look good, you definitely feel great!🥰

Identify Your Strengths
Acknowledge your achievements and focus on your strengths. Everyone has some special skills and talents, it could be playing music, singing, writing, cooking/baking, painting, sports etc...If you are passionate and good at something, improvise the skills to develop creativity and innovations.

Self-Improvement and Feed More Knowledge

Read everyday, about the world, the economy and upgrade yourself. The world is moving so fast with ultra-modern technologies and new projections for the future. An intelligent mind is outstanding, it offers constructive ideas and insightful information. You will feel much confident when you are well-informed and knowledgeable.

Self-Acceptance and Know Your Worth

Learn to accept who you are and love yourself! No one is perfect but don't settle for less than you deserve! I firmly believe everyone is unique in their own ways, so never compare yourself to others. Confidence Has No Competition! We all have different perspectives, standards and priorities. Don't live by other's opinions, criticisms and validations. Live your life in your own terms and pursue what matters most. Strive for success, happiness and achieve your aspirations.

                 

Strong Conversational Skill
Good communication is a powerful tool in all aspects of life. Personally, I do NOT encourage any type of silent treatment or ghosting,etc...It's toxic, boorish, incompetent and unprofessional in my honest opinion. Never run away from problems, be brave to face it! Silence and avoidance will never resolve anything and in fact, it cause more misunderstanding and confusions. Be mature and open to accept feedback and suggestions.

                      

Unfortunately, most people don't listen to understand, they listen with the intent to reply. Learn to express your thoughts, emotions calmly and listen without judging. A low-esteem, poor communicator will avoid any discussions and clarity, while a confident speaker initiate a conversation to work things out and resolve conflicts/disputes. The way we react and handle various situations display the level of confidence.                    

Indeed, self-confidence is one of the most important traits to success, along with a strong mentality and positive attitude towards life...Be Confident NOT Arrogant! :)

Remember, it doesn't matter what professions, age, gender and ethnicity, everyone can learn to be more confident at any phrase to embrace self-growth, intellectual qualities and massive transformations!👍

"Self-Confidence is attractive and it's the most beautiful outfit...Wear it and own it!" 😎

Knowledge Is Power! (Never Stop Learning) 📚

Let's face it! In this society and the generation that we are living today, competition is everywhere around us...In school, at work, in a job interview, etc. Therefore, learning is essential for everyone! Good education systems and resources are very important for our future generations. 


In my opinion, competitions aren't always negative and stressful... Sometimes, it can be a form of motivation to strive better. Everyone aims for the best and no one like to fail. The more knowledge and skills you have, the better chance to succeed and achieve your goals. 

As parents, we want the best for our children. Don't we? Since the day they were born, we are constantly teaching them to walk, talk, write, read, helping them to build up their motor skills with educational toys and learning tools in their early years. 

We send our children to school to learn different subjects, languages, moral values and social skills that would help them in their adulthood in the years to come. I am sure every parent want their child to shine like a star, to have a bright future and hope they'll be successful in life.

Parents and teachers play an important role in a child's learning journey. As a work-at-home mum, I'm always looking for good learning materials for my little ones. I encourage my children to learn as much as they can. That way, they can excel, explore new things, to discover their potential and talents. 


My job as a parent is to give my children the best support they need, guide them in life and help them build a good attitude in learning. 


I'm glad that with the advanced technology and resources we have today, there are many helpful educational materials to make learning fun and interesting for both children & adults.


The mind of a child is full of curiosity, they are always eager to explore and learn. Children are attracted to bright colors, funny faces and colorful pictures, that is why cartoons are their top favorite channels. So, with the right educational tools, learning can be full of joy and excitement. 


I recently came across an interesting website with lots of cool themed worksheets that are customized for children in different age groups. They sent me some worksheets the other day and I would like to share with my readers. There are many lovely designs and different types of worksheets on their website (eg: maze, puzzles, games, mathematics, word tracer and more...) I think the kids would love them!


These worksheets can help the kids to improve their spelling, grammars, vocabulary, writing skills and penmanship as well. Afterall, practice makes perfect! 😉


I teach my son spelling every week. (He is Primary 2 this year) I guide him to write proper sentences in his compositions and to speak with confidence during his Show & Tell presentation in school and..........Happiness is when your child brings home his Spelling test with a full score! (10/10) Well done, Son! Mummy is very proud of you! Keep up the good work! 😘👍

Personally, I'm not one who focus too much on academic results. For me, I believe life is more than just getting good grades, there are things like morality and EQ that are equally important. However, I believe in learning as much as possible, to gain knowledge. I want my kids to enjoy learning every day and have a pleasant school life. As I mentioned in my earlier blog, education is indeed important because the world needs future doctors, scientists, lawyers, engineers, etc..


Knowledge is power! Knowledge comes from learning and leaders never stop learning. Education is the key ingredient to achieve long term success!


Every child deserves the best education! 
Whether you are a parent or a teacher...I believe we share the same goal, to improve our children's lives and to build a better future.

Confucius once said...
"Education Breeds Confidence.
 Confidence Breeds Hope. 
 Hope Breeds Peace."


Always keep learning, because life never stops teaching! 😉
