Step Out of Your Fat Suit … by Janice Taylor, Life and Wellness Coach, Guided Image Innovator, Weight Loss Artist, Author<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

According to the ancient Chinese philosophy of Feng Shui, your kitchen is the central part of your home that provides nourishment and sustains life. Therefore, it is the most important area in your home. In addition to having a profound effect on your health, the kitchen is a symbol of wealth and prosperity.<\/p>\n

Given the importance of this room on our overall wellness, as well as our healthy weight, I thought I\u2019d share a few Feng Shui facts that may motivate<\/strong> you to close your computer and head straight into your kitchen to clean it up and then stock it up with the right stuff!<\/p>\n

Are you ready to get energized? Motivated? Create Space for Change?
\n<\/em><\/p>\n

1. The Food:<\/strong>\u00a0 In order for the food to provide you with high energy, you need to choose healing foods, such as fresh fruits and vegetables, raw nuts, and organic meats. In other words, no \u2018junk food\u2019 or processed foods.<\/p>\n

In theory, you may already know this, but do you live by it?<\/p>\n

2. Well-Nourished People: <\/strong>Nutritionally friendly folk who have ingested foods that are high in nutrients, are not only going to have more and better energy, but they are more likely to excel in their careers and relationships.\u00a0 Makes sense, doesn\u2019t it?<\/p>\n

3. Prosperity: <\/strong> The more effective a person, the more likely they will achieve financial success.<\/p>\n

4. Harmonious Space: <\/strong> In addition, the foods need to be prepared in a well-organized, harmonious space. Your kitchen needs to have a balanced flow of energy moving through it. Take that pile of trays and bowls off the top of the fridge and put them away! De-clutter the counter-tops.<\/p>\n

5. Happy Chef: <\/strong> If your kitchen is clean and organized, the chef is likely to be happy (or happier) and his or her cooking with be infused with happy, strong, good energy.<\/p>\n

In a Nutshell<\/strong>:<\/em>
\nStock up on the good stuff.
\nDe-clutter and clean your kitchen.
\nSmile while cooking!<\/p>\n

And health, wealth and happiness will be yours!
\nSometimes, it\u2019s just that simple!!!<\/p>\n
