Working from home?

For most people, working from a home-office presents two major challenges: One, keeping your business separate from your home life, and two, missing out on stimulating social interaction. Of course, working from home offers lots of benefits as well, that's why more and more people are choosing this option now. We suggest some tips on how to apply some Feng Shui principles to maximise your comfort and effectiveness while working out of your home. First, place your home-office as far away from your bedroom as possible. Second, fill your workspace with colours, images, and objects that make you feel appreciated, successful and creative.

Pay attention to the quality of air and light. Consider using full-spectrum lights that mimic the effects of sunlight, and keep at least a few air-purifying plants in your workspace. Position your desk so that your back is not facing the door. Neither should you face a wall while working. If you must face the wall, decorate it with a vibrant piece of art, or something else that makes you smile and helps relieve tension. Schedule 'clutter-clearing days' and stick to them – you'll be amazed at how much more enthusiasm and energy you'll bring to work on the days that follow.

In addition, there are several important areas in your office that need to be handled in specific ways. The south part of your workspace is connected to fame and reputation. Its energy comes from the element of fire, so avoid having the colour blue, mirrors, fountains or images of water in this area as water acts against fire.

The north part of your office relates to your career. The operative element here is water, so you want objects and images representing water in this space, as well as metal which creates water in the Feng Shui cycle of five elements.

The southeast area is related to prosperity and abundance. The Feng Shui element at work here is wood, so you need to avoid images and colours related to fire. Display objects, sculptures or pictures that spark thoughts of abundance and richness, in whatever form that is most meaningful to you.
