As an overwhelmed mom, your home should be a sanctuary—a space that recharges and supports you. But when life feels chaotic, your home’s energy can unknowingly work against you, leaving you stuck, unmotivated, and procrastinating.
The good news?
You can start transforming your entire home by focusing on one powerful area: entryway feng shui.
The entryway is where energy first enters your home and your life. It sets the tone for how you feel every time you walk through the door. If your entryway is cluttered, dark, or energetically off-balance, it may be subtly draining you, adding to your exhaustion and mental fog.
Let’s dive into the signs that your home entrance might be working against you!
1. Cluttered & Overloaded Entryway
Sign: Piles of shoes, coats, bags, mail, or miscellaneous items crowd the entrance.
Why It’s a Problem: Clutter represents stagnant energy and creates mental overwhelm, making it hard to take action in life.
Fix: Declutter weekly, create designated storage (shoe rack, hooks, mail organizer), and keep only daily essentials near the door.
2. Front Door is Hard to Open or Stiff
Sign: The door sticks, creaks, or is difficult to open fully.
Why It’s a Problem: A blocked or stuck door = blocked opportunities and struggle in moving forward.
Fix: Clean hinges, repair issues, and ensure the door opens smoothly at least 90 degrees to welcome new energy.
3. Dark, Dimly Lit Entrance
Sign: The entryway feels gloomy and lacks natural or poor lighting.
Why It’s a Problem: Low lighting = low energy, leading to sluggishness and procrastination.
Fix: Brighten with lamps, natural light, or mirrors to amplify energy and motivation.
4. A Staircase Directly Facing the Door
Sign: When you open the door, stairs immediately lead up or down.
Why It’s a Problem: Energy rushes out too quickly, leading to drained motivation and financial instability.
Fix: Place a grounding rug and add plants or artwork near the entrance to slow down energy flow.
5. The Entrance Feels Heavy or Stagnant
Sign: You walk in and feel instantly tired or unmotivated.
Why It’s a Problem: The entrance holds old, heavy energy, keeping you stuck in the past.
Fix: Regularly cleanse with sage, sound bowls, or open windows to refresh the energy.
6. Front Door is Directly Aligned with the Back Door
Sign: You can see the back door from the front door.
Why It’s a Problem: Energy (and opportunities) rush straight through, leaving nothing behind.
Fix: Place a rug, plants, or a decorative screen to slow energy loss.
7. Too Many Mirrors Reflecting the Door
Sign: A mirror directly facing the front door.
Why It’s a Problem: Mirrors push energy back out, preventing fresh opportunities from entering.
Fix: Move the mirror to the side or use it to reflect more light into the space instead.
8. Dead or Unhealthy Plants at the Entrance
Sign: Wilted or dusty plants sit by the front door.
Why It’s a Problem: Dead plants symbolize stagnant energy and block new growth.
Fix: Replace with vibrant, healthy plants to encourage fresh energy.
9. The Front Door is Always Kept Closed or Unused
Sign: You mainly enter through the garage or side door.
Why It’s a Problem: The main door is the portal for new opportunities—if unused, energy (and luck) stagnates.
Fix: Use the front door at least once a day to activate its energy.
Before leaving or entering, pause at your front door, take a deep breath, and set an intention for the day. Your entrance should feel like a gateway to fresh possibilities!
