Do you know how much your environment influences your mood, energy, purpose and even passion?

Just the position of your desk could block or open up your next big opportunity or getting rid of the clutter in your office could clear a path to your greater purpose. .

Simply put, the way we arrange our work space can have an impact on our creativity, productivity, purpose and income. Feng Shui is more than just rearranging your furniture! It’s about understanding how your environment influences and reflects what is happening in your life. It is an ancient art used to remove the negative and release the positive energy that not only affects your environment but also the success in your life!

If you are struggling in a particular area in your business it may show up as clutter or lack of creativity in your space. By applying the simple principals of Feng Shui to your office space you enable the positive energy to flow. Releasing this positive energy in essence helps support your goals and intentions for success. Once you have made the intention in your mind the next step is to implement that in your space!

The following are 5 Feng Shui tips to creating an office designed for success:

Clear the clutter Sounds so simple and yet many people struggle with this subject. The key to getting rid of your clutter is to understand why you created it. Focus on one area of your space and for 9 days discard 3 items that no longer serve a purpose. If you haven’t used it in a year and is not functional to your every day tasks discard it. As your release the old you make room for the new. A good place to start is with your books. Many people tend to have book shelves cluttered with books they never read. Having too many books can make a room feel cluttered and block your creativity energy. Go through your books, donate them or pass them along to friends. Rearrange your book shelves with colorful accessories, stack some books on their side and add pictures of things you love.

Stylish Bulletin Boards In Feng Shui consultations, client’s often ask where is the best place to keep their vision boards and I explain the ideal location is the wall in front of the your desk. The items in front of you represent your future and the items behind represent the past. So, all the certificates and awards are best placed on the wall behind you. I suggest you be creative with your vision boards and consider finding stylish and fun bulletin boards and fill them items that inspiring and functional.

Ideal Desk Placement In Feng Shui the desk placement is key. The ideal arrangement is called the command position and this means you have full view of the door and a solid wall behind you. This position puts you in command and control of your business. If this is not possible and your back is to the door than place a small round mirror on your computer as a simple solution to see who enters your space.

Cleansing Scents It’s important to cleanse your space on a daily or weekly basis, but it’s extremely important when you are dealing with lots of stress. If you are continually dumping negative energy into the same space everyday than the energy builds up like soap residue and you will continue to feed into that the energy. A quick fix is to use incense or an essential oil spray. Please note, if you use this in an office with co-workers be sure to check the scents don’t bother your coworkers and I suggest the spray over the incense.

Stylish Accessories & Notebooks A great way to add color, fun and style to your office is with your desk accessories and notebooks. Think about what gets you excited, from color to prints express them in your accessories. If you need motivation use greens, reds, oranges. To slow down and be more creative select blues and blacks. To be more organized and refined select whites, pastels and silvers.

These simple little touches can have a great impact on your daily productivity. I’m sure you could look around your office right now and find three things that you know are time for them to go. So, I dare you to discard them right now and implement these 5 simple steps and see how your energy changes.
