Grandparents’ Advice: Keep These 5 Things Out of Your Home or Misfortune Will Follow

Our grandparents used to say, “A clean home brings peace of mind, and with peace comes good fortune.” However, few realize that it’s not only tidiness but also the objects inside your home that affect your luck, happiness, and prosperity. If you’re not careful, these items could attract negativity, leading to family conflicts and bad luck. Here are five things your elders warned never to keep at home for too long:


1. Cracked or Dirty Mirrors

Mirrors are not just decorative items — they reflect and amplify energy according to feng shui principles. A cracked, scratched, or dusty mirror loses its ability to reflect positive energy and instead spreads stagnation.
Feng shui experts believe that broken mirrors can cause tension, irritability, and distance among family members, while also blocking wealth energy.
Tip: Replace damaged mirrors immediately or keep them spotless to attract good luck and dispel negative energy.


2. Wilted Plants and Dead Flowers

Green plants bring vitality and positive energy to a home. However, when plants wither or die and are still kept indoors, they silently attract negative energy.
This can lead to irritability, distraction, and stagnation in career or finances.
Solution: Regularly trim and water your plants, remove dead ones, and keep only fresh, thriving greenery to maintain beauty and positive vibes.


3. Old Calendars

Calendars symbolize the flow of time. Keeping old ones means “holding on to the past,” which can block the natural flow of energy and trap you in old memories or habits.
Our grandparents advised that by the end of the year, we should discard old calendars and hang new ones to refresh the energy of the house.
That’s why many families hang a new calendar at the start of each month or during Lunar New Year — it’s a way to invite luck and new beginnings.


4. Broken Electrical Devices or Old Components

Faulty electrical appliances, tangled cords, or outdated parts not only pose fire and safety hazards but also disrupt the home’s energy flow.
This stagnation can lead to fatigue, irritability, and declining luck.
Tip: Regularly check, repair, or replace broken electronics to ensure both safety and smooth, flowing energy throughout your home.


5. Clutter and Unused Items

This is the most overlooked source of negative energy. Piles of old clothes, magazines, or unused items make a space feel suffocating and chaotic. Over time, this clutter drains mental energy and fuels family arguments.
Solution: Declutter regularly — discard what you no longer need, organize what remains, and keep your space open and calm.


Clean Your Home, Clear Your Energy

Tidying up and removing these negative objects not only makes your home look better and feel lighter but also enhances positive energy and minimizes misfortune.
That’s why our grandparents always reminded us: keep your home clean, remove anything that blocks good luck, and be mindful of what you keep inside.

Remember, your home reflects your energy.
A little attention to cleaning and replacing worn-out items can help your family live more harmoniously, attract prosperity, and open the door to new blessings.
