OK. So you’re finally ready to take the old romantic plunge.
You’ve redone your hair, updated your wardrobe, changed your attitude, and the only attention you’ve gotten from the opposite sex over the last few weeks was from the bag boy at the Supermarket and this was only to ask if you wanted paper or plastic. So what to do?
Well there are a few things that you can do, the first of which would be to walk through your home and remove any statues and pictures that are of SINGLE WOMEN. Why you ask? Well, they all share a very common denominator – THERE ARE NO MEN!! This means that you are sending the Universe the message that you are fine with being alone. Think couples when you’re decorating. Add statues and/or pictures of couples as this sends the message that you are open to a relationship.
The second thing you can do is REMOVE THE IRONING BOARD FROM YOUR BEDROOM. How can you have romance blossom with an ironing board in your bedroom? Ironing is hard work – do you want love to be hard work? No, I didn’t think so. Remove the ironing board, the dirty laundry hamper and the Treadmill from your bedroom. NO WORK here please.
Third, how are your bedroom closets? Is there any room for someone to keep a few things there? Remove the clothes that you haven’t/will never/don’t wear, and make some space for the new guy to leave a shirt or two or three!
Now take a look at your bed. Is it covered in stuffed animals? 65 pillows? Is it so prim and proper that you wouldn’t want to be thrown on it in a moment of passion? I want you to think of a really sexy scene you saw in a movie – did you see any stuffed animals or China dolls propped up against cushions or sitting on chairs? No, I didn’t think so. Fix the bed. Think Moulin Rouge.
The next step is to clear your clutter. Do you have the last 16 years worth of Architectural Digest or Cosmo on your bedside table? Or worse do you only have one night table? Or even worse, one night table with 16 years worth of Architectural Digest or Cosmo? Ack! That screams I wanna be alone and reading until I die!
Remove the magazines and get another night table. Print a picture of Orlando Bloom or Johnny Depp or whoever else turns you on and then put it in a frame and prop it up on your night table. Not only will all your friends be jealous of your new boyfriend but you will definitely have some very sweet dreams. This will activate the Love vibrations and pretty soon you’ll be getting more attention than you can handle!
Till then, Happy Shui-ing!
