Early Birds and Night Owls

Are you an early bird or a night owl?  Do you like to pack your days full of activities or do you like down time to just be? Honoring you own energy while still doing what you need to do in the world can benefit from approaching your schedule with intention. How we function in time is similar to how we function in space. In space we manipulate physical items that exist in our surroundings to make changes in unseen energy flow.  If you think of time as space it helps to make time easier to work with. For instance, every 24 hours we have a certain spaces in our allotted time. How we furnish or fill those spaces depends a good deal on personal energy.  If your energy is more yin, you need your down time but be careful not to be too sedentary.  If your energy is mostly yang, be careful you do not over schedule and burn yourself out.

Feng Shui can help us create balance in scheduling our time. Evaluating our personal energy in Feng Shui terms is a method that allows us to visualize both our energy levels and the demands on our time. The end result is that we will be able to operate at our maxim energy and efficiency. Both Yin and Yang energy are valuable and useful in the world.  Each type of energy, if understood can be employed to benefit yourself and the wider world. If you have yin energy make sure that you allow enough down time but pay attention to your peak energy times and schedule things that might drain you.  If you have yang energy, you tend to be energized by keeping busy and active but you need to schedule quiet time to recharge on a regular basis and not wait until you are so exhausted that you cannot keep up. Analyzing how you are allotting your time and intentionally relating the needs of your personal energy and your schedule will result in the best use of time and energy.
