Many if not most people experience this same thing.

I am sure that you have heard the saying “how can you keep repeating the same behavior expecting different results” and can all grimace and know that most of use are guilty of this behavior somewhere in our lives.

Why?  Because we really don’t know how to change our behavior.  We have been responding, acting and reacting the same way for the most of our lives.  These patterns are so engrained that we can’t seem to get out of the rut even though we know we want a different outcome.

Each new relationship ends with amazing similar results.  We hear the same criticisms over and over again and keep thinking it’s the other person fault when in fact it’s about us, our inability to take the action necessary to make the changes that can and will bring us overflowing happiness.

First, one must acknowledge and accept the repeating message.  This is 90% of the work involved in the change.  Denial of our liabilities is the wall that keeps us from living fully in abundance and joy.

Making the necessary changes is the next step but these life long patterns can be difficult to change.  This is where 20 Minute Feng Shui can help.  Creating the energy in your home for the changes that you desire will create the environment of change.  Living in this new energy will begin to influence and change you and your behavior.

We all know that your place in life is directly related to where and how you grew up.  Look at the outcome of the lives of those who grow up in Beverly Hills verses those who grow up in the Getto.

You can have a direct impact on where you life is going by taking control of your environment.  20 Minute Feng Shui can help you do this.

Robert T. Kiyosaki, author of New York Times Best Seller, “Rich Dad, Poor Dad” and host of CNBC’s show “The Millionaire Inside: Your Guide to Wealth” says:

“It’s easier to change your life if you change your environment first”.

Start with making small changes. This will give you�re the impetus to make more changes. Success breeds success. Start with the things you can change. Here are a few ideas on how to change your environment:

• Get into your closet and get rid of the stuff that you have been holding onto from your glory days. It probably doesn�t even fit any more. Make room for something new to come into your life.
• Organize your desk, get rid of all the nic-nacs, this is the place for your financial future. Clean out your files. You only need to keep records for x years and these history files don�t need to be in your desk. Put them in a file box and put them in storage. Remember, you are making room for the new.
• Then take a look around your home. Those old magazines that you have been hording because you are going to read them someday. Get rid of them and get your home organized.
• One of the most inexpensive and quickest ways to change your environment is with a fresh coat of paint. But don�t just paint it the same old color. Choose a new color that makes your heart sing!
• Re-arrange your furniture. Have you ever noticed that like hair, when women start re-arranging furniture that changes are in store.
• Clean out the garage, knock down the spider webs and get rid of stuff you don�t need. The stuff in the garage made it there because you no longer or don�t need it in your home, but you put it in the garage because you didn�t have the guts to let go of it. Plan a garage sale or call Good Will. Do the same if you have a storage room or basement.
• Get rid of the dead and dying landscaping in your yard. Besides a day in the fresh air will do you good, or you could call a gardener and spend your time on some of the items listed above.

The next step in changing your environment is looking at how you spend your time and who you spend it with. Make a list of the 5 people that you hang out with or spend time with. Then jot down how much money they make. Your income with be around the average of what your friends are making. If you want to make more money, make new friends. I am not telling you to get rid of your friends, but you can make room for some new ones.

Who�s life would you most want to have, Bill Gates, Ruppert Murdock, Martha Stewart, Oprah? These people probably have enough friends but you can still put them on your friends list. Then start to study them. Read everything you can find on them, every book, newspaper article, TV clip. Get a picture of them and put it on your desk. Connect with this knowledge everyday just as you would if they were your best friend.

These changes seem so disconnected from the things that you want, but they are not. Everything we know is an electromagnetic field in the disguise of what our eyes see and our brain translates for us. The only difference between all of these fields is the vibration of the person, the place or the thing. It is these vibrations that create our environment and impact our world.

Before you know it the environmental changes that you have made will create the energy and force field to draw into your life the people, situations and opportunities that you have been looking for.

You get what you think about. If you think you can�t afford to get your leaking roof fixed you won�t and never will. If you think that you are un-lovable you are. If you think that you are out of control of your life you can create sickness.

If you believe and trust that money, opportunities, joy, health success are always flowing to you, you will have the money to fix your roof, love, vibrant health and more.

I know that this sounds like woo woo mumbo jumbo, but it isn�t! Let me explain how you keep yourself in poverty consciousness and how to get out of it.

You try to have abundant thinking, you say an affirmation once a day, but behind the scenes, a tape with an automatic loop is playing every second in your subconscious that says �I don�t see it, so it�s not true�. Here is how it stacks up on a daily basis:

� 1 point for the abundant thinking,

� 86,400 points for it�s not true thinking.

Then there are all your helpful friends who confirm the automatic loop. You try to be positive and affirm what you want. Your friends roll there eyes and snicker shredding any hope you had of joy and success, dragging you back into the all familiar rut.

This is why you can�t get out of the poverty consciousness. Years and years of subconscious programming, and well meaning friends who are afraid that you will get out are running your life.

Successful people march to their own drummer. They take back control of their lives. They do not listen to the nay sayers. They create their own dialog that they listen to. They are selective about who and what they allow into their daily lives. People, who do this, set themselves on the track for drawing into their lives true abundance and success.

Below is a list that will help you get on your own track:

• Keep your dreams, goals and objectives to yourself or to a limited number of trusted friends and family who support you.
• Repeat your affirmations often during the day. If you don�t believe them, keep telling yourself until you do.
• Listen to your self talk. Each time you find yourself thinking that you can�t, tell yourself you can and move on to another subject. Don�t battle with the subconscious, just train it!
• Take a good look at the people that you associate with and ask yourself if having them supports your dreams. You may want to limit your exposure.
• Take a good look at what data you allow into your world: television, movies, newspapers, reading. If it does not make you feel good get rid of it. Your friends and family will let you know if something really important happens.
• Feed your subconscious with positive up-lifting information. If you want to re-program your subconscious your must be diligent in this effort.

It all sounds so simple and it is. You just have to be disciplined enough to live it and do it!

�Have you ever heard the phrase �you don�t know what you don�t know?� Often, it is true.� When I decide on a goal, if I have to make it happen all by myself I would be completely frustrated and it just might take forever.� You see, my view is limited by my experience and I don�t know all the possibilities.

�I believe in and rely on the Universe (or for you it could be �god) to bring to me the people and situations to make my dreams a reality.� When I live my life like this I am always amazed and delighted to see how it all comes together.

�When you are writing your affirmations and setting your goals, you don�t have to know how all the detail of how make it happen.� Rely on the power of the Universe to open the doors.� Just keep and eye and ear open for the opportunities.� You never know where they may come from.

Have you ever had a disagreement with someone and been totally confused because they just couldn�t see what you were talking about? I think we have all been there. It�s because of the filters of perception!

Most people hold on to their views of the world as if it is life or death. They hold on because it is what (they think) makes them who they are. What they do not understand is that it is this holding on to a limited perception that holds them in a life of mediocrity.

When we open ourselves up, our life expands to unlimited possibilities. You can start creating these unlimited possibilities by writing and speaking affirmations for your life.

You can utilize the subtle energies in your environment to assist you in manifestation.

��What the mind of man can conceive and believe he can achieve.�

Napoleon Hill

The key here is belief.� Not belief in the unknown, but belief in the abundant Universe we live in.��

As soon as you speak your desires, the Universe (or your God) moves into action to make it a reality. But if you change your mind,� go into disbelief or let someone else steal your dreams by telling you �you are crazy�, you stop the universal energy from creating your� dreams and set into motion the not having.�� This is one of the laws of our Universe.

You are only limited in life by your belief, or non belief in the� abundant world that we live in.� You are the Master of your world� and can use the subtle energy in your environment to create the life that you choose to live.

�Cures and Enhancements are important in setting and creating the energy that you desire in your life.� They do not make the energies that you have already created disappear.� For what energy you create you will experience.� Cures and Enhancements only set the stage for what you are creating for your future.�

In our microwave society today most people are looking for a quick fix,� like going to a doctor and getting a magic pill for what ails them only to� find themselves dependent upon the pill for static quo.� Once you� understand Feng Shui and use it properly, you will create the freedom from living a life of mediocrity.�

All energy is good.� There is no bad energy.� There are different qualities of energy like Sha (hard) or Chi (soft). It is only your perception of� energy that makes its bad.

�If a situation appears to be bad, you are missing your golden�� opportunity.� The appearance of a bad situation can be the catalyst that pushes you to make new and different decisions. It will show you the truth and reality of the moment if you only open your eyes and mind to the path that lays before you.�

I know that this is probably a new and maybe even a difficult thought, but take a look at your situation. Take out the filter that says it is bad and just look at it for what it is. Know that this situation is what you have created to catapult yourself into the new life that you desire.�

If you continue to look at it as bad it will remain bad.� If you know that it is in your best and highest good and look at the situation for your benefit, it will set you on the path to the life you have dreamed of.�

This is Feng Shui or the way of Wind & Water, the way of energies in your life.� Just as you choose to set cures and enhancements to create beneficial Chi in your home, you can choose to see the abundant blessings in each moment of your life.� Open your eyes and your mind and you will see your path.

I want to share with you 3 ways to create Chi and use it to manifest the life you desire.

1. Use a talisman or representation of what you desire in the appropriate life station. For example you can place a heart in your relationshipcorner to create the energy of love in your life. It can be any kind of heart from a heart cut out of paper to a beautiful glass paper weight.

2. Use aromatherapy to stimulate the specific senses and create that energy in any of your life stations.

3. Pick a life station that you want to create Chi in and light a colored candle.
