Organizing and cleaning tips for the fridge.
Open someones fridge and you can learn a great deal about their lifestyle. The fridge is a magnet of keeping things inside and cluttered all around it way past their expiry days. Feng Shui is based on the movement of chi (energy) in the home and body. It is essential the food we eat is packed with vibrant chi that will bring balance and harmony to our bodies.
The food you consume should be high in nutrients and vitamins to nourish the chi in your body. The foods that are high in sugar and filled with chemicals deplete your chi making you feel less energetic to begin your day. The fridge needs to be organized and clean for the chi to flow effortlessly in its surroundings and to minimize chi becoming blocked or stagnant.
Organizing Fridge Tips
• Take everything out of your fridge. Scrap them off the bottom shelf but everything needs to be placed on the kitchen counter.
• Remove the shelves and clean, clean and clean some more. The sticky gunk can be removed with some boiling water and a plastic scraper.
• Place paper towel or wax paper in the bottom of the drawers. If there is a spill it is much easier to clean up the area. You may also choose to place wax paper or paper towel on the shelves.
• After the fridge is clean, it is time to investigate your food choices.
• Throw out all items past due.
• Throw out all items you have not used in the past 2 months. Do not worry about throwing money down the drain; just get rid of the item to leave room open in the fridge for items you truly desire.
• After discarding items, it is time to put the food back into the fridge.
• Hold the item and ask yourself if the food item will nourish or deplete your energy. The first few times you may feel guilty throwing away food, but in time you will feel empowered by making the choice.
• The fridge should be filled with nutrient rich food items that will nourish you and a few indulgences. An indulgence also nourishes your chi.
• After you have cleaned the inside of the fridge it is time to tackle the outside of the fridge. Remove the old paintings from the kids and put up new inspirations. The outside needs an overhaul when you do the inside of the fridge.
