Do you have a small business and want to create a place that is peaceful and strong? By using Feng Shui, you can increase your support and make your energy strong and positive. If you aren’t sure what Feng Shui is, you will see that this is an ancient practice that allows you to take your space and make small changes to make things around you more successful.
What is Feng Shui?
Feng Shui is an ancient Chinese practice, and it tells you that you can move things and change things in order to make the area and your environment peaceful. It can increase your Chi, which is your inner energy, and it can make the energy around you more positive.
This is based on the Yin and Yang, and it is where the universe wants there to be peace and harmony.
Using Feng Shui
If you want to use Feng Shui in your business, you need to understand that you can create positive changes in your small business by changing the shapes, colors, and even getting rid of things.
There are several different ideas behind Feng Shui, and there are different things you can do to make the energy positive.
Move Your Desk
One of the first things to do is to move your desk to a place where it can be seen. You shouldn’t put it against a wall or in front of the door, but you need to put it in a place where anyone can see it who comes into the room.
It is important that you are able to see what is going on around you and that you are able to see things that will inspire you and not distract you. Putting the desk in front of a window might cause you to be distracted just like the door. Place the desk where you can look at something inspiring.
Plants and Flowers
Put some plants and flowers in your area to bring color and to encourage growth. Using green is a growth encourager, and it can help you to have positive influences in your life.
There are money plants that can manifest money in your life, bamboo that is considered to bring luck, rubber plants can also be put in the northwest side of the room to symbolize wealth, and palm trees are used to attract good energy. Need peace and protection? Try a Peace Lily plant.
Water
Water symbolizes wealth, and if you want to change your workplace to bring in wealth, you can use a desk fountain or a fish tank.
Vertical Placements
Put things that you want to focus on in vertical places. Use different objects to make the room feel taller by adding height. Try adding vertical lines or tall bookcases. You can even add lights that look like they go upward.
Blue
Blue is a very influential color in Feng Shui and can make you feel more productive and happier. Get rid of colors like red, which makes people feel stressed and aggressive.
Add some different shades of blue and pale greens to bring balance and nature. You want the area to feel business-like, and you can add gray to make this happen.
Declutter
Get rid of anything in your space that you no longer need or use. You can do this, and it can clear your negative energy out of the workplace. Get rid of things off of your desk, and if you don’t want them, give them away or sell them.
As you declutter, you will see that this brings in a positive mood and positive feelings about your life and your workplace.
Final Thoughts
Feng Shui is a way to get rid of stress and make your business thrive. You can improve your mood while you are at work, and you can get rid of negativity in your workplace environment. This can help you to be more productive and to have overall growth.
‘Place your desk where you can see everything.’ What about privacy? Seems like we’re turning our workplaces into fish bowls now. Is there such a thing as too much transparency in business?
This is such an interesting take on workplace design! However, isn’t it just common sense that decluttering and having plants can improve mood? I wonder if any scientific studies back this up. 🤔
That’s true, Cheddar! While Feng Shui has its roots in ancient practices, many concepts align with modern psychology regarding space and well-being. It’d be great to see more research on its effectiveness!
Feng Shui sounds like magic for adults! Why not just throw some glitter around and hope for the best? But hey, if moving your desk makes you feel better, go for it! ✨
I absolutely loved this article! The tips on using Feng Shui in a small business are insightful and practical. It’s amazing how simple changes can lead to a more positive environment. I can’t wait to implement these ideas! 🌱
‘Water symbolizes wealth’? Really? So if I put a fountain in my office, does that mean I’ll be swimming in cash soon? Sounds too good to be true—I’ll stick to budgeting instead. 😂
While I appreciate the ancient wisdom of Feng Shui, I find it hard to believe that rearranging furniture can significantly impact business success. This seems more like a pseudo-science than a real solution for entrepreneurs.
‘Get rid of anything you don’t need.’ That sounds like my whole life philosophy! 😂 Who knew Feng Shui could be so relatable? Now I just need someone to help me with my emotional baggage!
‘Blue promotes productivity.’ So what you’re saying is that if I paint everything blue, I’ll finally finish my projects? Interesting logic there… but I’d probably still procrastinate anyway.
