Practical Steps for Success #1 : Choosing a desk area
In order to maintain control and make sound decisions, you need to support your working world. Interesting enough, more and more people have ‘portable work stations’ and claim they can work anywhere. Good for them! I agree. This flexible life style is wonderful.
To debate this: when you need to complete a project or work on a big presentation, you may have to look harder to find the best place…
Do you know… How many times a person re-writes their To-do list?
I’m not sure, but it must be a lot! Each day, people roll over all the tasks they haven’t worked into their schedule.
It is like we are purposefully sabotaging our lives!
The endless list: Are we all overbooked? Are we all frozen with indecision or distracted dealing with the merry-go-round-of-life?
Feng shui is all about getting organized and taking control of your life. Here is one great…
Embrace Your Chaos
Did I read this right? Embrace your chaos?
Absolutely! In order for you to try and maintain order in the office, you do need to identify what is going on during your day.
Side-tracked? Are you spending too much time ‘doing stuff’ and not completing anything? Are you driving these distractions? Time to start being accountable for your time; communication with e-mails, texts, games and issues with deadlines. Assign a reasonable time for personal tasks and…
What is Your Personal Element?
The elements in feng shui are related to properties of the earth; wood, fire, earth, metal and water. Each of these properties has its own structure, specific components, and their own personalities. Just like us, some of these elements work very well together, and sometimes not!
When you take my Personal Element Profile Quiz (PEP) you’ll probably notice a ‘dominant element’ will emerge. Hopefully, you’ll also have a little insight into the other people in…
Fire People have Energy to Burn
Do you remember the last time you were really passionate about something? It could have been something quiet; perhaps a breath-taking view of the lake? Or, more emotional; such as standing up for someone who was falsely accused?
The fire element, in feng shui, is represented by the colour red and generally shows up in the Fame or Wealth areas of the home. These areas of your home are definitely hot, as they…
Wealth and abundance are measured different by everyone. Wealth, in terms of feng shui, speaks of luck, fortune and abundance. These things won’t materialize without some sort of effort on our part; fortunes don’t fall out of the sky very often. We need to define what we are seeking in order to find what we are looking for. Luck, fortune and abundance can be found in many forms.
In order to change something in our lives, we need to initiate…
Life is more than the routine work/home/sleep cycle. Whether we realize it or not, our lives are sorted into a plethora of accountabilities; personal areas, health and family, children, relationships, creative hobbies, spiritual growth, continuing education and learning, domestic chores, holidays, crisis management, hockey or soccer games and personal recreation. This is a lot to maintain! For personal growth and optimum health one needs to find the balance.
Feng shui has a tool called the ba-gua, which divides the life…
Is your desk out of control? Are the documents getting misplaced? Are you anxious and stressed out easily? It may be time to pay some attention to your office and desk arrangement.
Feng Shui, the ancient art of influence for your environment, can help you sort out your surroundings and therefore your life. Often, only a few simple changes are needed to fuel the change or energy in your workspace.
1. Set yourself up in the Command Position
The Command…
Can feng shui help with depression?
Yes, it can!
Depression is often triggered when people are focusing on the past. Many are dealing with the ‘empty nest syndrome’. Or, it could be regrets of I could’ve, should’ve, would’ve ….
Whatever it is: something is out of sorts in the present.
To initiate change in your life, you need to change something. Change can be as simple as bringing flowers or colours into the home, reaching for a favourite scarf or…
