I’ve always found that beginning a new chapter in my life usually requires letting go of the past, whether it means organizing my room, organizing my closet, or just getting rid of items that no longer serve me. However, I’ve come to the realization that our digital places also require attention; this type of reset isn’t limited to our physical spaces. Digital Feng Shui can help with that.
Digital feng shui is all about designing your online space to foster calm and clarity, much like traditional feng shui is about creating harmony in real-world settings. It can involve organizing your laptop, phone, and social media accounts to better reflect what you want. We occasionally forget that it’s OUR phone, and we have control over what we view, what apps we use, and how much energy we allow in. It could feel really liberating to take control of that.
I’ve found that when my phone is overflowing with old apps, random screenshots, and constant notifications, I become very overwhelmed. I can create a more purposeful place by getting rid of this digital clutter. This might mean deleting old photos that have negative energy, unfollowing accounts that don’t add positivity to my life, or organizing my apps in a way that makes accessing things easier. For me, digital feng shui is a tool for starting fresh. It’s a method to get rid of the past and create space for fresh opportunities, free from distractions and stresses from the past. And even though it may seem insignificant, the impact for me is huge.
We sometimes underestimate how much control we have over our technology. We have a choice in what we let into our environment. We can create an online space that feels like our own—one that promotes our mental well-being—by pausing to consider what we want to save and what we want to part with, like old pictures or even songs/playlists that just don’t bring us good energy anymore.
So, if you’re looking for a way to start fresh or just reduce some of the noise in your life, try digital feng shui. Clear out what no longer serves you, and fill your digital world with things that align with the balanced life you want to create.
