Here are some quick Feng Shui tips for aiding weight loss and waking up your body

1.) Avoid seeing the kitchen from the front door. If this is unavoidable in your house, try to create an eye-catching view in another direction to attract your focus when you walk in. Alternatively, you could add saloon doors or Japanese style cloth entry hangings to obscure your view of the kitchen.

2.) Using a black tablecloth or placemats on the table can often defer eating.

3.) Place black or blue near, around or on the refrigerator.

4.) De-clutter. Dig into places you've been avoiding forever. The mere act of cleaning out weighty junk in the home can actually affect the weight of the person doing the cleaning.

5.) Pray before eating. If you are not religious, then stop, think and do some 'intending' prior to eating. Visualise that the food you eat will simply pass through your body and not stick there. Being conscious in the moments before eating can set up a positive spiral that stays throughout the meal and maybe even long after.

6.) Use mirrors in your home to activate your body and get it moving. Maybe you can keep yourself moving right past the fridge. If you've ever been in a gym, think about how many mirrors they have inside. Now, think of what it would feel like if the mirrors weren't there. It would be just another sweaty-smelling, sleepy room with lots of metal in it.

7.) The colour red is stimulating. Placing red in your surroundings with the intention of keeping your body activated and your energy smouldering can be beneficial as well.
