I read this at the Feng Shui website and thought I would share it on my blog as I thought it was so useful!

“From a Feng Shui perspective it is important to keep illness and obstacles at bay during the course of the year. These are the main influences that negatively impact on maintaining quality relationships. Thereby, you can support your family by implementing the following changes in your workplace and particularly in your home over the next two months.

August:
Place 6 metal coins in the northeast of your business, home and/or your bedrooom. It is also worthwhile to hang an all metal wind chime or bell in the southwest position during this time.

September:
Remove the objects from the their position in August and....put the 6 metal coins in the south of your business, home and/or your bedrooom. The all metal wind chime or bell is best placed so that it is in the east sector of your home or business premises.

Winter Health!! Sadly it’s true...it just seems harder to maintain good physical and
mental health during the winter season. We tend to forget that less daylight and
longer nights do alter our internal body rythms and impact quite strongly on our
psyche. We just need to consider the studies carried out in the Laplands of Norway.
Here are a few ideas on how to beat those winter colds and flus.

Eat a balanced diet; One of the most important things for good health is to eat well. It is so easy to reach for the fatty, delicious yet heavy winter fare but this is a time that it is even more important to include your fresh fruits and vegetables. Also, create yummy dishes by using warming spices such as ginger, cayenne and pepper.

Exercise regularly; Often we will use winter as a good reason to sit by the fire and watch TV rather than exercise If this is you, then use this time to exercise your muscles in a low impact manner. Use your lounge room floor and do squats, step ups or stretches. Alternatively watch your favourite programme whilst skipping, walking or running on the spot.

Sleep; a good nights sleep is important at the best of times but this is especially true
during the winter season.

Drink plenty of water; this is an often made statement and once again, especially
valid during winter. Drinking plenty of water is much easier to do in summer than the peak of winter but vital when you become ill with a cold or flu. If need be, add a dash of lemon to your warm water or simply keep up your fluids by drinking a healthy, traditionally made chai tea. For those finding their systems ‘out of
whack’ during the winter months you can assist yourself by ensuring that you place 6 metal coins in the northeast of your bedroom during August, in the south during
September and in the north during October.

Debt Reduction!! Personally, whilst I believe there is a time for taking on some debt I am generally averse to owing money to anyone. Therefore, my aim is always to reduce any debt that I may incur. In today’s economic climate and with the prospect of interest rate rises in due course, this is a particularly important endeavour. By definition; debt is an amount owed to a person or company, for funds borrowed. This can be represented as a mortgage, investment loan, hire purchase or other form, stating repayment terms and interest. The various forms of debt all imply an intent to repay at a specific date according to the conditions. Here are 4 tips on how to manage your spending so as to minimise debt levels.

Know your financial position. Be honest and write down exactly how much you owe, how much you spend and what you can afford to repay. This is critical for you to determine what you can do and what you may consider giving up to achieve your desired outcome.

Set yourself a goal. Goal setting provides an objective and creates ambition making it easier for you to stay on course.

Always pay more than the minimum repayment. This is vital if you are to reduce your debt total quickly. So work out how much extra you can pay and stick to it come what may.

Cut your spending. Rather than work more to increase the amount of money you have each week, find ways to reduce your spend rate. E.g. if you go out 3 nights, reduce this to one until you have achieved your goal. If you buy lunch 5 days per week, consider home made lunches 3 times per week and only buy out twice. Consider buying items only if you really need them and only when they’re on sale. If you buy 3 cups of coffee per day cut back to once a day – good for your health and your pocket.

Romance in winter!! Any time is perfect for romance but winter is a particularly wonderful time. The cooler weather provides additional time together that is usually more quiet, still and peaceful than say through the summer months. Some consider romance a frivolous preoccupation and, not true love. Granted romance in itself will not provide the desired emotional depth, stability and intimacy but it does fill our hearts, bodies and minds with renewed interest and vigour. And, when it is a part of ‘true love’, life seems to become richer. An oversized jumper, pyjamas, warm slippers, hot chocolate, marshmallows, a raging fire and a bottle of red are all wonders of winter. These simple pleasures make it easy to set the scene for Romance at this time of year. It can be absolutely delightful and...intimate and....inexpensive. Two suggestions on how to keep your romance alive during the winter months rather than slouching in front of the TV.

Light the fire, play your favourite CD and savour a delicious glass of red whilst basking in the quiet time you’re spending together. If you’re teatotallers, enjoy a hot chocolate and just be in the moment.

Cook together; sharing a meal is a simple pleasure. Why not both use your cullinary skills to create a sumptuous, healthy meal together whilst sipping a glass of champagne & listening to music.

Massage; create the setting for a soothing, sensual massage by the fire. Whatever you do, plan those simple pleasures, organize that lounge room picnic, pamper where possible and most of all enjoy those precious moments - together.”
