Speaker 1:

I'm so glad that you're here. You are listening to what the fuck did she just say with your host? That's me, sandra Priestly. I'm all about living our best life and finding our zone of brilliance and then removing the resistance so that we can go all in. I say random, crazy shit, which is why I called this podcast the way that I did, and I really hate long drawn out intros. So let's fucking go.

Speaker 1:

Well, it's Friday, and that means it's Feng Shui Friday. Friday, and that means it's Feng Shui Friday. Feng Shui Friday is all about understanding that our environment, our space, is speaking to our subconscious mind. It's like we're in an energetic relationship with our space, and so what we want to do is design it, curate it, to be one that supports us in reaching our goals, that makes us feel good and that we treat it well as well. So one of the things that I want to talk about is collections.

Speaker 1:

I recently was looking at some of the things that we've collected throughout the years. One of the things that I really like is coffee mugs. I love coffee and I love to collect coffee mugs, and over the years, I have purchased one you know a mug every once in a while, and it just got to the place where the cupboard was too full of mugs. So when we were renovating our kitchen, the cupboards that we put into our kitchen were a little bit more shallow and I knew that I was going to need to release some of the mugs. So I grabbed them all out and really looked at which ones did I want to keep. There was a set of four mugs that I had since university. I went to university at 17 years old, so literally these suckers were more than 30 years old. I still love the look of them. They had tulips on them and they were sort of like etched, sort of like painted tulips on them. I love them. I still none of them were chipped, but I never used them. I chose to use the mugs that had sayings on them Hello, beautiful, or fueled by gratitude. I mean, I have those mugs now. So me reaching for a tulip mug just wasn't going to happen, because I'm always choosing the ones that lift me up, that make me feel good. I also had a mug that I thought was amazing. I really liked it, but the mug was too large. I was the only one that used this mug and when I did I'd get down to half of my mug full of coffee and it would be cold, so I released that mug too. There was other mugs that I noticed that were at the back of the cupboard, that no one used, that just didn't feel good in our hands.

Speaker 1:

When we can curate our space with things that make us feel good and that we use all the time, we naturally feel better, feel more organized, feel less stressed and we propel ourselves forward. We also can appreciate the things that we do have, because we're not surrounding those items with stuff we don't use, with stuff we don't use. The same thing happened when I looked through my closet just a few weeks ago and removed all of the clothes that didn't fit me, didn't feel good. I didn't feel good when I was wearing them. I haven't worn them for a long time, I wasn't going to need them. I removed all of those things. All of a sudden I could appreciate the clothes that were remaining in my closet, the ones that didn't make me feel good, and it was like I had a whole new wardrobe.

Speaker 1:

You want your home to be filled with things you absolutely love and not so cluttered with a whole bunch of stuff that you can't see the things that you absolutely love, you are holding yourself back. If you're holding on to things that no longer serve you, it's okay to let them go. I promise you, when you hold on to cherish, honor the things that you need, you will be so much happier than if you surrounded yourself with stuff. See you tomorrow. Thank you so much for listening. I hope you've had some laughs, maybe some ideas, and that you've been inspired to take some type of action toward the life you've always dreamed of. If you feel so called, I would love it if you would share with your besties and leave a review down below. I look forward to bringing you along on this journey and I will see you in the next episode.
