No matter how we fix our living places based on feng shui science, if you have a habit to interpret things negative way, or look for negative things, it all becomes your personal energy, and influences your future.
Depending on the places where you live, the weather, the scenery, the air, the temperature, these are all influencing our every day feeling.
If you are not in the comfort zone of your living, it may be more easy to get irritation, annoyed, frustration and may be easy to see things negative way.
Are you loving where you live ?

For Second unhappiest cities ranking is St. Louis, MO, I understand why it was ranked as number one crime place because I used to live there for about a year.
Especially East St. Louis area was known to be dangerous and the downtown St. Louis was like a ghost town.
Overall my impression of people over there was not so cheerful and friendly, this impression magnified when I moved to AZ because in general the people in AZ are very cheerful and friendly.
Besides doing feng shui, clearing inner personal energy is also important to improve our life.
Here are some suggestion to uplift your personal energy when your feeling is down.
1. Think like you are already valuable and blessed since you were born.
Everyone was born alone with nothing, no clothes , no knowledge etc.. if you have clothes to wear, you are already blessed.
When we start living our life, we get many things, but also when we lose something we got, we feel depressed.
Imagine what you have with gratitude and saying the words “ Thank you “. by appreciating things, our feeling becomes sweet, and this is the best way to clear our mind energy.
2. Communicate with people who make you feel good.
3. Walk around nature under the sun 30 minutes. ( if your living place is too sunny, choose a safe place in the evening time when the sun almost goes down or cloudy days may be better. )
4. Go to see scenery of mountain or beach. Both ocean and mountain have power to relief your stress.
5. Listening to music which make you feel happy.
6. Taking a warm bath.
7. If you are a very active person who are not good at relax and love to always moving around, doing sports or dance which you love will make your feeling good.
Any other tasks you can think of , based on your personality.
