A home is not only a place to live, but also a source of energy and strength. Since childhood, we know that our native walls have healing properties, and that is why we always return home to rest and restore our strength after a hard day at work. Many of us strive to create a cozy and comfortable nest, carefully selecting materials for finishing and decor.

However, not all the things we surround ourselves with in our home are beneficial to us. Some of them can have a negative impact on our lives, including our financial well-being.

Ancient philosophies like Feng Shui have long taught that the energy, or “chi,” of our homes affects every aspect of our lives, from our relationships to our bank accounts. In fact, modern research supports this idea, suggesting that our environment can influence mental clarity, productivity, and even emotional well-being.

If you notice that your wallet is constantly empty and your expenses exceed your income, then it may be time to review the contents of your home.

Each thing that is stored in our home has its own energy that can affect our lives. Dust and clutter, for example, can attract negative energy into the house, which can lead to financial difficulties. Therefore, it is important to get rid of them first.

Here are 6 reasons why the energy in your home may be hindering your financial success, and how you can clear the path to abundance.

1. Broken or damaged items

We all have a broken mug or a broken watch that we’ve been meaning to fix “someday.” But did you know that these damaged items could be subtly sabotaging your success? According to experts, broken items carry stagnant energy that reflects problems in other areas of your life, especially your finances.

In Feng Shui, it is believed that broken objects "leak" energy. Esotericists also believe that broken objects reflect negative events or energies that have entered our lives. By holding on to these things, we subconsciously attract them into our future.

The solution? Throw it away. Whether it's a cracked mirror or a faulty lamp, if it breaks, it's time to replace it or throw it away.

"The more we fill our lives with things that no longer work, the more we block new opportunities," says decluttering expert Marie Kondo.

By getting rid of broken things, you open up space for new energy – and money – to flow into your home.

2. Disorder

Clutter not only makes a space look disorganized, but it also has a powerful psychological impact. Research shows that clutter can increase stress, decrease productivity, and make it difficult to focus. And when it comes to money, a chaotic environment can symbolically represent chaotic finances.

Just as dust settles in unnoticed corners, clutter accumulates unnoticed stress. Have you ever noticed how satisfying it is to clean out a cluttered room? That same clarity can extend to your financial life. Regularly cleaning, organizing, and organizing your space can promote a sense of control and calm, setting the stage for success.

3. Old and unused things

Do you have a closet full of clothes you haven’t worn in years? Or perhaps a drawer overflowing with things you “might need someday”? Storing old items that no longer serve you can create obstacles in your life, especially when it comes to financial growth.

From a spiritual perspective, when we cling to old things, we prevent new, positive energy from entering our lives. It’s as if we’re saying to the Universe, “I don’t need anything new – I’m happy with the past.” But success is growth, progress, and moving forward.

One simple practice you can adopt is to regularly get rid of unnecessary things, donate them, or sell them. This not only frees up physical space, but also clears mental and emotional space, making room for new opportunities and financial growth.

4. Other people's things

Another thing that can impact your financial success is keeping things that don’t belong to you. Whether it’s a gift from an ex-husband or something left by a friend, these things can act as an energetic “leak,” taking your wealth away from you and toward its original owner.

According to some belief systems, other people's things retain their energy. Having these items in your home can cause confusion and hinder your success. To attract wealth and prosperity into your life, make sure your space is filled with things that belong to you.

5. Objects with “dead” energy

It may seem surprising, but some items in your home may carry “dead” energy that can hinder prosperity. These could be artificial flowers, dried plants, or even furniture made from animal skins. These items symbolize stagnation and loss, blocking the flow of fresh, vibrant energy that allows wealth to flourish.

If you’ve ever felt an inexplicable emptiness in certain areas of your home, check for items that lack vitality. Replace artificial flowers with fresh ones or add live plants to your space. Living greenery not only purifies the air, it also brings abundance and vitality.

6. Objects that evoke negative memories

Finally, the energy associated with items that evoke negative memories can also hinder financial growth. These items carry the emotional weight of past difficulties and can become an obstacle to new prosperity.

Psychologist Barbara Fredrickson, known for her research in positive psychology, suggests that objects associated with negative memories can unconsciously attach us to those emotions. By getting rid of these emotionally charged objects, you allow yourself to release past difficulties and bring new positive experiences into your life.

Our homes are a reflection of our inner lives, and just as we must take care of our mental and emotional health, we must also take care of the energy in our homes. By getting rid of things that carry negative, stagnant or dead energy, we create space for abundance, success and joy.

Let your home become a place where good fortune flourishes and watch your life begin to change for the better.
