How to Feng Shui Your Bedroom - Cheap Green Hobbies
If you're like me, you tend to zone out whenever somebody starts telling you about how they're like, totally into this new eastern philosophy thingie. However, dejunkifying your house, whether you think of it as an ancient art form or not, does actually produce some measurable results in your quality of life. For example, living clutter-free helps you keep things organized so you buy less junk and know exactly what you have, which is kinda green.
The reason I like feng shui is that it makes the dejunking process seem like a fun hobby and not a chore -- and it's nice to have cheap hobbies these days. This video, while it focuses on feng shui in the bedroom, gave me a couple of ideas of how to incorporate some eco-friendly ideas with my ch'i energy channeling activities. If only I could plug my ch'i into the grid and sell it to the power company ... that would be sweet.
- For starters, Howcast mentions changing burned out light bulbs to feng shui your bedroom. Well, there's a no-brainer. When you're going for the green feng shui, you've gotta go CFL or LED.
- Another green idea has to do with Howcast's "something beautiful." Why not make that something beautiful a houseplant that helps filter out nasty indoor air pollution like a peace lily or rubber tree.
- If you're going to repaint, go for a eco-friendly paint with zero VOCs, Lowes has zero VOC paints.
- As far as decking out your room with images that you hope will come true ... that's one's open for interpretation. You might consider making a collage out of some old magazine clippings ... maybe add some electric cars, wind turbines, and polar bears.
