According to Feng shui your home is your 3 dimensional vision board. For those of you who are not familiar with the vision board, it is a board that you place on a wall and you put pictures of the things on that board that you desire in your life. For example, if you want to buy a home, you place a picture of your dream home on that board. If you want to visit a place, you put a picture of that place on your vision board. It is believed that if you constantly look at what you desire, it is equal to visualization and whatever you visualize eventually manifests in your life. So how can you make your home have the vibe and energy of the things that you want to attract in your life? Well, the simple answer is that you place things in such a way that you always feel positive to be in your home environment and it feels easy and possible for you to achieve your dreams. You can do the following things to achieve that in your home.

1. Create a Success corner: If you want more success you must create a success corner in your home where you display all the awards and important certificates that you have got. So when you look at it you get a feeling of achievement and it reinforces your belief in your ability to succeed thus attracting more of it.

2. Positive pictures/idols at the entrance: It is important to place positive pictures like beautiful sceneries or idol of a Buddha at the entrance of your home as when you enter your home that is the first thing you look at. Your home should give you a positive feeling when you enter into it. Avoid placing pictures that disturb you or do not give a good feeling. Also, if you want to put a shoe wrack, place it in the side and it should be covered so your shoes are not the first thing that you see when you enter your home.

3. Remove dried plants and flowers: Your home should be full of life therefore decorate it with plants that are alive and remove dried plants and flowers from your home decor. You want your home air to be fresh and oxygenated so it is always good to keep green plants as they not only provide oxygen but add to the beauty of your home. Dried plants and flowers that are dried artificially are lifeless and have a negative vibe and if you place them in your home, new opportunities dry up for you.

4. Remove medicines in the dining area: If health is your goal and you want to manifest it in your life then you must not put medicines in your direct gaze or in the dining area even if you may be taking them. You should keep your medicines in a drawer or at some place where they are not visible.

5. Enhance the ambience of your dining room: We often like to visit the restaurant because we like the ambience of the place, so we can as well decorate our dining room to have a nice dining experience. The more we feel relaxed while having our breakfast, lunch, or dinner, the more we feel positive and the food that we have is also properly digested. To decorate the dining room, we can put paintings of fruits or any other paintings that go with the theme of dining room and we can put some nice lamps or lights to create an ambience where we would like to sit and have our food without being in hurry.

Thus with little thought we can decorate our home in a way that it becomes a 3D experience of success, health, and joy for us and makes us feel grateful for the life that we are living so we can have more of it.
