July is a month of school vacations, family vacations, games, outdoor walks, also at home enjoying a movie, inviting to a barbecue, taking a course of something we want to learn, in short, it is the time to share especially if there are children and young people in the family, whose objective is to rest and carry out activities that during the school year or semester do not have the time for it.
This period is one of joy, excitement, of going in and out of homes to take bike rides, skateboards, outdoor walks, excursions and all those activities that energy, time and budget allow.
Some families feel the need to change their environment to break with the routine, an issue that from the psychological point of view allows the mind to “reconfigure”, and we use this technological term because by changing routine activities, we feel that we have made a change in our lives and at the end of that period there is the nostalgia of returning to daily tasks. with schedules, routine activities, which we cannot escape.
During this period we could recommend the use of time, especially free time, for the organization of the home in those specific areas that require that they need “affection” from the people or person who lives in the space or area in question. We have developed this topic in previous articles.
Let’s continue with the activities of the holidays, however, we must note that, if children and young people receive friends, classmates, neighbors, in short, those people in the environment with whom they share recreational activities, sports, etc. Schedules and modes of organization must be established, so that the house does not become chaos.
It is also understandable that during the holiday season the rules and norms of the organization of the home are relaxed, however, it is important to point out that some houses become the central axis of the group of children and young people, not being equitable that each meeting should be in the different houses of friends, fellow students, workmates, etc.; bringing as a consequence that in the home there is a whirlwind of people and therefore it is impossible for there to be due order when entering and leaving an endless number of people of different ages and interests.
With the above we do not want to intervene in family lives, but from our own experience and in conversations with friends and co-workers, similar situations occur, especially during the vacation season, especially in houses where the conditions lend themselves to a greater flow of people, due to the fact that they have swimming pools, large social areas and other amenities for the various activities of the season.
Returning to the theme of FENG SHUI, ancient science, because it is conceptualized as wind and water, two elements are pure energy and the way we have to let that energy flow is order and harmony in the home. But we seek with this science, that our spaces are the right place for a flow of energy, harmony and therefore prosperity, comfort, peace, the quality of life that each and every one of us aspires to in the spaces where we live individually, family, sharing with our own and strangers within an environment whose energy enters and travels through the areas in a beneficial way.
It is also important to note that FENG SHUI brings positive energy or SHI to our spaces, since we all desire and aspire to live in harmony, but if chaos reigns in the environment, only CHA or negative energy will flow.
This small tour of a reality that some of us have experienced can help to establish and define some situations in the era of “zero rules, schedules”. Therefore, we wish you that your vacations are of complete relaxation, pleasure and comfort so that the return to school is full of energy to face the school routine and therefore family.
Until the next installment.
