I was doing the school run on behalf of my sister. While my nephews and I have the highest regard for each other, it wasn’t going well. Maybe I chose too many battles.
Anyway, the eldest lad made a break for it and ran upstairs. I followed and found him looking out at me from under a double bed.
I knew a change of tack was needed. I chose to open the window and silently tidy the room.
He stayed put.
Then I noticed two pairs of shoes tucked under the bed and relocated them. Shortly afterwards, he got out from under the bed and was happy to get on with the routine.
Some people think that Feng Shui is either silly or beyond them. But that –moving the shoes - was a little bit of Feng Shui.
What I like about Feng Shui is it’s not overly prescriptive. Nobody owns it. It is common-sensical and can be applied to many situations. Any time you examine your environment in relation to your goals, you are probably practicing Feng Shui.
And I’m happy I can add the school run to my breadth of life experiences.
