This is a pretty random post. A little bit of everything, I'd say, without a central idea.
The cleaning is still in process. That doesn't mean I'm stalling, it just means that it has taken a much bigger level than originally expected and the results will be very extensive.
Following the furniture re-arrangements I started cleaning up bookcases (getting rid of unwanted books), closets (getting rid of clothes I never wear), kitchen drawers (you must have gotten the drift so far...) and generally I'm in the midst of a big de-cluttering phase. It feels pretty good! Liberating, I'd say.
Reading about tips for better organisation online, I stumbled on a website about feng shui. I have to admit, I didn't know much about it before, only had heard a few "rules" without any explanation and so it sounded pretty silly. But there I actually read the reasons why you should do each of the things they suggest. (At least the ones I looked up!) One might still be dismissive of arguments like "it blocks the flow of the energy" if they don't believe in such things, but others like "positioning your furniture so when you're sitting, your back isn't facing a door" are more accesible to everyone. And it's pretty obvious if you think about it, your sense of security is weakened if you're sitting at a desk for hours per day, with the door behind you, it leaves you feeling vulnerable. Anyway, that's just one of the stuff I read that I wholly embrace. And reading about feng shui, put some things in perspective. I mean the things I was talking about in my last post, about my improved mood and feeling eager to do things I was postponing till now. It is certainly tied to my having changed my room. And I knew that already, but it's nice to see exactly why some things help.
On a totally unrelated note, I really wanted to re-post this from memebase:
And closing, an also unrelated song:
