Place your specific order with the Universe to get what you want...just beware that it may not be what you need.  It is important to be clear and note that Feng Shui is very literal so if your affirmation reads "thank you Universe for my new husband" you may only get dates with married men.  A better affirmation would be "Thank you Universe for the perfect man for me!"
How you create your affirmation is important, here are some tips:

• clear your mind and sit in quiet
• write on new paper using a new red pen
• then place your affirmation in a silver box
• place the silver box in the Helpful People/Travel area of your bedroom (far right corner when you enter your bedroom)

Action follows thought so verbalizing and visualizing how you would like an event to turn out sets the stage and becomes the outcome. 
For example, if you are dreading the upcoming family get together because your Uncle always talks about inappropriate topics that gets everyone arguing.  Set your desired outcome before you leave for the get together by visualizing and saying "everyone has a great time and there is lots of laughter and great joyful conversations!". 
​Be sure to wipe out any negative thoughts of past experiences.

Here are some tips to help calm the chaos of your holidays:

• For every holiday decoration you put out, box up an all year round decoration (perhaps in the same box).
• Depending on the weather in your area, open windows to allow your home to breath.
• Take a breath yourself and try not to beat yourself up that you haven't done enough...you've done enough and it's OK.
• Enjoy the gatherings, surely there is something fun or funny about them.

​First, do you actually use your kitchen or dining table?  If not, how are your relationships going? 
Our eating tables are key to our relationships, use them and your relationships are bountiful, neglect them and your relationships will neglect you.  
Round tables are best as they allow everyone to see each other and the round shape keeps the conversation flowing. 
Many fond memories can be created around the table where food, laughter and good conversation can nourish your body and mind!
