Why do Women Over-Spend, Over-Commit and Over-Eat?

    It’s not easy to be a Twenty-First Century woman.

    It often seems as if we’re being pulled in a hundred directions at once. And – as most women know – there’s only so much of ourselves to go around.

    Women often end up trying to be super-heroes. They soon find – since “Superwoman” exists only in the comics – that it doesn’t work in real-life. This compounds the feeling of failure. And the result can sometimes be emotional issues such as over-spending, dependent relationships, and over-eating.

    Women often feel burdened by tremendous guilt, and the feeling that there must be something wrong with them, if they don’t meet everyone’s needs at home and work plus get everything done in a week that seems to fly by. But examining why we have these feelings of failure is not really the issue here. The real issue is understanding that it’s we who do it to ourselves. But there is an antidote. Knowing how to change the negative energy surrounding you into positive, supportive energy will make a huge difference in your life.

    Using a few basic principles of Feng Shui, you can shift the energy in your life, your office, and your home to be supportive, so you can better focus on meeting deadlines (whether personal or work-related), while becoming more productive - and less stressed.

Calm Your Chaos and Clutter…Create a Sanctuary at Home

    It often feels like we live in a world filled with chaos and clutter. That just seems to be a fact of Twenty-First Century life. And, too often, it seems, this chaos has spread to our own homes, robbing us of the one place where we should be able to find comfort and peace of mind.

    But you can learn to overcome the chaos in your surroundings, and in yourself. You can learn to rid yourself of negative energy and feelings of helplessness, and you can learn to replace them with balance and calm. Through the use of certain principles from the ancient Chinese practice of Feng Shui, you can learn to fill your life with positive energy, and to achieve control and balance in your day-to-day living.

    Once you’ve created a plan for uncluttering your home – and keeping it uncluttered – you can create an environment in which you feel calm, stress-free, and secure…your own “safe harbor.” And who wouldn’t like to feel that way in their own home?

    Pat Heydlauff has been helping women all over the country to calm the chaos – and take control. She’s a Feng Shui expert, speaker, and newspaper columnist. She takes the mystery out of Feng Shui, and breaks it down into simple, actionable principles that can help you reclaim your own surroundings…and turn your “house” back into a “home.”
