But when we look at our diaries and every hour is spoken for, and we look around our homes and every drawer, surface and wall is full, where exactly is that good thing meant to land? I left my Friday free on purpose, and by Monday evening an invitation to a brilliant event in Sydney had arrived. I can’t prove one led to the other, but I do know that having the space meant I could say yes.</p><p><br></p><p>If you’re feeling the pressure of the final months of the year, this one is for you. Please don’t buy into the idea that 2026 is over. There’s still half of October, all of November and December, and if we lean into the feng shui calendar, we get January as a bonus too.</p><p><br></p><ul><li>Why wanting something and having room for it are two very different things</li><li>Why so many of us feel uncomfortable being available, and how every free half hour can turn into another job</li><li>What I’ve been reading in The Expectation Effect by David Robson, and how our expectations shape our week</li><li>The study on expecting acceptance, and why walking in thinking “there might be someone here I get along with” changes what you do next</li><li>Taking action alongside your intention: letting people know, asking the question and following up</li><li>Time affluence, and why a free afternoon might be worth more than a new outfit</li><li>Looking at your home: the desk with no room for a notebook, the chair you can’t actually sit in and the entrance you have to climb over bags to get through</li><li>Keeping things from old versions of yourself (hello, beach tennis racket) and giving yourself permission to change</li><li>Why you haven’t failed if you leave space and nothing dramatic happens</li><li>Your 4 steps for this week: choose one thing you want more room for, protect a small amount of time, get one spot at home ready and choose an expectation that gives you room to move</li></ul><p><br></p><p>You don’t need to transform your whole house or clear your whole diary. Start with half an hour, one chair, one surface, and see what turns up.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>So much love, Kimberley xx</strong></p><p><br></p><p><strong>Sunshine &amp; Transformation, our high vibrational artwork collaboration with John Lewis: <a href=\"https://www.thefengshuiflow.com/john-lewis-collaboration\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https://www.thefengshuiflow.com/john-lewis-collaboration</a></strong></p><p><br></p><p><strong>2026 Year of the Horse Energy Planner: <a href=\"https://www.thefengshuiflow.com/2026-planner\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https://www.thefengshuiflow.com/2026-planner</a></strong></p><p><br></p><p><strong>Join the community at <a href=\"https://www.somuchlove.com/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">somuchlove.com</a> and follow along <em><a href=\"https://www.instagram.com/somuchlovekimberley/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">@somuchlovekimberley</a></em></strong></p><p><br></p><p>A bespoke analysis of your home to unlock the exact remedies your living space needs to support you in a life of more abundance and prosperity: <a href=\"https://www.thefengshuiflow.com/home-analysis-service\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https://www.thefengshuiflow.com/home-analysis-service</a></p><p><br></p><p><a href=\"https://www.thefengshuiflow.com/11-consultation\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Work with me 1 to 1 here!</a></p><p><br></p><p>If you loved this episode don&#39;t forget to subscribe, leave a 5* review on Apple Podcasts and tag me in your stories on Instagram <a href=\"https://www.instagram.com/thefengshuiflow/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">@thefengshuiflow</a>! xx</p>","author_name":"Kimberley Gallagher"}
