Today we lead busy lives whether we go to an office, work out of our homes, or are on a journey. The space we occupy needs to support us and our goals. We need for it to feel empowering and inspiring. This affects the energy("chi") factor which can enhance success or take away from it. Here are some basic Feng Shui tips to help improve the energy in your office space and enhance your career.

7 WAYS TO CREATE HARMONY IN THE OFFICE

In your office or in meetings, sit so that you face the doorway or room entrance.This is the most commanding position as you can see what is going on all around you. You get a full view of your career path.

Be comfortable with your computer equipment-or replace it. Computers should be ergonomically correct for you. The curved, wavy shaped keyboards that are out today for ex: provide a nice feel. Its also the water element and brings in money for career.

Improve workspace lighting. If you work under fluorescent lighting all day this can drain your energy which will effect your productivity. A small desk lamp is the key to bring some chi and balance so as to bring some life to your work. Let natural light in whenever you can and use natural fluorescent bulbs when possible.

Clean up your act-tone down the clutter. This is key. A cluttered desk denotes a "cluttered mind". It also causes a lot of stress. If you are working on several projects at least keep your desk clear. Put your work in organized piles off to the side of your main view upon entering your office. This will do wonders for your stress level and your productivity.

Use Feng Shui enhancements to further your personal and business goals. In Feng Shui we use the "9 basic cures" or remedies to enhance each area of our lives. Cures are things like lighting, plants, water, crystals. Place a plant with rounded leaves like the jade plant (money plant in feng shui) on your desk to remind you of bringing in money in your business. Add an inspiring picture with some red on the South wall of your office to enhance fame and recognition. *Make sure you write down your goals so that they are clearly defined. This brings energy to them while doing the enhancements.

Don't sleep with your computer. Computers give off a lot of electromagnetic energy. While they are good for offices since they activate and bring in good chi for work, they are not good when trying to sleep. If you have to keep one in the bedroom for any reason, keep a screen between it and you or place a scarf over it at night.

Suspend your disbelief and go with the flow. Feng Shui isn't magic; it doesn't counteract reality; it helps us to create awareness in our lives that in turn allows us to realize our goals and aspirations.

Have a prosperous and harmonious career!
