I just found a great article you may want to check out using the concept of a makeover for under $300. In these times of possible job loss and shrinking assets, having a space that is adding to your frustration and potential depression is the last thing you need.  Someone once described paint as money in a can.  That certainly holds true if you are planning to sell or rent property.  But imagine you are looking for a new job because you were laid off or are worried you will be.  Resist the temptation to sink into piles of old papers and mail and feel sorry for yourself.  Get rid of papers and things that dangerously keep you mired in the past.  Then get some painters tape and paint and start creating.  I am a great believer in the power of intention, so with each stroke of the paint roller or brush, visualize your perfect job coming to you quickly and easily.  You can increase the power of that potential exponentially by mixing in a few drops of Young Living Essential Oil “Highest Potential” to the can of paint.  When you are done, viola, you have surrounded yourself with success!
