Tisha Morris argues that cleaning your home is the fastest way to regain control when life feels chaotic. Your living space mirrors who you are, so clearing physical clutter clears mental stagnation and gives you an immediate sense of power. Do it yourself rather than hiring someone to fully embody the act of taking control.

Hi everyone, this is Tisha Morris. Thank you so much for joining me for Feng Shui Tips by Tisha. So today I'm going to be talking to you about the quickest way to take control of your life. Now if you're like me, you go through those times when you feel like your life is kind of out of control. You know, maybe you're feeling overwhelmed, maybe you're lacking clarity. If you're not sleeping well, that could also be a sign that fight or flight has kicked in, that's trying to take control of things. So listening for these times when you feel out of control. There are times of surrender and that's all well and good. There are other times where you need to take the bull by the horns and get some things done. So now if you are familiar with me, then you know this is probably going to be home-related. And yes, you are right. But let me tell you why. When we do things in our home, it is an inherent act of taking control of your life, and this is why. Because there are very few things that we have control over in our lives, okay? And that is our mind, for the most part. It doesn't seem that way most of the time, but it's true. We have control of our mind. We have control of our body. And we have control over our home, our spaces. And probably, well, definitely the mind-body, definitely we have the most control over. Our home, we usually have, you know, even if you rent, you may not have complete control over it, but for the most part you do. Other spaces that you might have control over are your car and maybe an office away from the home as well. So any of these could be included in this, in the under the umbrella of space and home space. So our mind, our body, and our home are those things that we have not only the most control, but really the only control over in our existence. So now the mind and body can be a little tricky because obviously we know the mind can play tricks on us very easily. The body is obviously very close to us and we can kind of lose perspective there. And so our home is such a— because it is outside of ourselves and yet a mirror projection of ourselves. And so this is actually why working and using Feng Shui is, I found, such a powerful tool because it's a little bit outside of ourselves to where we can see it, and yet the energy is so interrelated with our own energy that the changes can be instantaneous. So when you feel out of control in your life, the quickest, easiest, and best way to get back into control is cleaning. Cleaning your house. The reason why is because first of all, it's quick, it's instantaneous, it's easy, it's something, you know, we all can do. Not to mention the energetic properties of the value of cleaning. It really is a nice space clearing. But aside from that, there's something about cleaning your home, your space, that gives you an instant feeling of power and control. So try it. Now if you hire out a cleaning person that's great and fine, but I would encourage you in these times to do it yourself, rolling up your sleeves and getting dirty and taking control over your space. Now there's lots of things we can do to take control of our space and to make improvements, but when you're feeling overwhelmed and out of control, it's best to do the easy stuff. It's, you know, no one can fail at cleaning. It is inherent in all of us to clean, to take care of our space, to take care of ourselves. And it is a mirror projection of self-care. When we take care of our space, we're taking care of ourselves. And again, sometimes it's easier to see that outside of ourselves than internally. So try it and let me know how much better you feel. And so once you do that, from there if you want to make some improvements to your home, do some Feng Shui adjustments from there, some space clearing, go for it. That will even enhance it even more. But like I said, for just a really quick getting in control, then cleaning your house is the best way. So thank you so much for joining me, and have fun!
