XANADU
XANADU is a place of great beauty. XANADU is the name of Kublai Khan’s
summer home in South East Mongolia. Where is your XANADU? In many of the previous blogs, the
Twenty-Minute Coach has spoken about the need to have a special place in your
home that makes you want to be in that space.
XANADU is a perfect name for that space.
XANADU goes beyond ordinary beauty and speaks of luxury. Part of this A-Z process is to provide you
with motivation to take care of yourself in very positive and enriching ways.
The last “E” word was exquisite. XANADU
speaks to the luxury of EXQUISITE and is a definitive space and place. Create your XANADU place. Perhaps, you don’t even know how to start
decorating a place of XANADU in your home and maybe you feel too overwhelmed to
start. First, make a decision you
deserve XANADU. Second, choose a space
in your home (or outside garden area) that you want to transform. Once you decide where XANADU will be created
then ask, “What do I really want in that space?” Do I want a comfy chair, where I can read and
meditate?” How about lighting? Proper light is necessary to lift your
spirit. What colors do you want in your
space? And what art-work do you want on
the walls? Next take a look at Pin
Interest, decorating magazines or websites.
Pull some pictures together that represent XANADU to you and sit with
them for a couple of weeks while your ideas begin to take XANADU form. Enjoy.
