I’m sure we were all happy to bid 2020 farewell. If you’re looking to extend the celebration, you may want to consider observing the Chinese tradition of welcoming the Lunar New Year. 2021 is the year of the Metal Ox. The Metal Ox brings career advancement, success in business, prosperity and wellness for all zodiac signs. I think that’s worth celebrating! A week before Chinese New Year’s Day, Chinese families will thoroughly clean their homes. This tradition symbolizes the removal of negative energy (hello 2020!) from the past year and the welcoming of good fortune in the upcoming year. It presents a great opportunity to refresh the home. Since we are all still spending so much time in our homes, observing these rituals are a particularly good idea at the beginning of 2021.

Transform your bedrooms with new bedding. Remove any dark colors and consider rejuvenating your rooms with a lighter color. Declutter and organize your home office for an auspicious year. Begin by throwing away any unnecessary documents that take up space. File any papers you don’t need immediate access to in a cabinet or flat basket on your desk.

Don’t wait for spring cleaning to create a harmonious environment in your home!
