The things you choose to surround yourself with on a day to day basis speak loudly about who you are.  Everything from the colors you choose, the furniture you sit on, the art on your walls, even the clothing on your back has some meaning whether you acknowledge it consciously or not.  Take time to consider the value and meaning of those things you surround yourself with and ask if they are truly representative of what you desire most from life now.

As you grow in life, your values, situations and tastes change.  You accumulate things along your path and furnish your homes and offices to suit your needs and tastes and in these ways, your values are reflected.  As life evolves, oftentimes the pieces you have picked up over the years no longer fit, but you hang onto them out of habit, not even realizing that you have outgrown them.  These things can symbolically keep you stuck in the past, limit your growth, even hinder new relationships.

Look around your home closely.  Really look. 

• If you are single and are looking for a relationship, or have trouble making new relationships last, look at what you have around your house.  Do you have reminders of past relationships in your home?  Hanging on to past relationships by keeping the mementos of past lovers in your space is a sure way to discourage a new relationship from growing into “the one”.  Release those reminders of the past and make room for that new special person to enter your life and allow your relationship to blossom and grow.
• Have you been tired, lethargic?  Look closely at your home.  Is it looking tired?  Does it need a thorough cleaning?  Is there anything broken?  Look at the curtains, bedding, towels.  Are they looking tired and droopy or do they look fresh?  You don’t have to spend a lot of money, but you do want your home to look fresh.  If you have a layer of dust on the top of your curtains, clean them now.  If they are tattered and torn, replace them or remove them completely if it won’t impair your privacy.
• Are you feeling supported?  Look at the arrangement of your furniture.  Is your office chair in the command position?  Is your sofa in the command position?  Does the furniture itself literally support your body or is it so worn you sink?  Is your bed in the best position in your bedroom and is your bedroom a nurturing environment?  By supporting your body you are supporting your spirit.
• Look at the artwork in your home and office.  Are the images uplifting?  Do they still speak to you as they did when you purchased them.  Do you have any pieces that you no longer care for?  If so, let them go.  Surround yourself with only the things you love now. 

Create an environment that symbolizes the life you want to live now.  Look at your things with new eyes and ask what they are saying to and about you.  Choose artwork that has images that are positive, uplifting and energizing.  Let go of anything that no longer suits your life or that is holding you in the past.  By surrounding yourself with symbols of your ideal dream life, they will speak to you on your innermost level where listening comes quite naturally, helping your ideal dreams become your new reality.
