How To Make Your Home Office Healthy
Home is where the heart is but in a time where our space is also where we’re working from home, it’s never been more important to create a healthy space which supports you, your relationships, mindset and outlook on life.
Achieving a sense of well-being starts with the places where we spend the most time. By creating an environment that supports everyday wellness, you might just find yourself feeling more positive, productive, and harmonised than ever.
If you need to create a healthy business environment at home, then you should consider using Creative Feng Shui® as the tool to do just that as it uses easy-to-implement principles that anyone can incorporate into their life, home and business. The purpose behind this art is to consciously create more space, light, creativity, momentum, flow and intention in your life as well as helping you to clear stagnant, negative energy which acts as an invisible force which could be unintentionally sabotaging the balance of your office, causing blocks in your business and contributing to you feeling blocked, stagnant, unhappy and unfulfilled.
You can instantly optimise your space for good health and upgrade the environment we work in with flowing energy with these simple yet powerful Creative Feng Shui® tips and activations.
DECLUTTER
Clutter in your workspace completely blocks the flow of energy. The same goes for your desktop. Do you have too many tabs open?
By clearing your clutter within you (headspace) and around you, you’ll achieve more harmony, feel lighter and create space for fresh perspective.
Your office should reflect your positive personality, especially in challenging times. Being true to your own personal style and all the items you love, this will instantly boost the positive atmosphere in your business. So remove the things which no longer serve you or your business.
FIND YOUR POWER POSITION
Feng Shui follows the powerful rule of Bagua, which is essentially a map that details the best positions to balance energy and create a stress-free workspace. For example, the top center represents fame and recognition; the upper left represents relationships; the upper right represents wealth and abundance; the middle left represents health and family; the middle right represents creativity.
To harness these areas you can light a candle to ignite your passion for business, add a flourishing jade plant to your wealth zone or add a water feature to create more flow to your family zone. Be creative with this and focus on the area which is important to you.
CREATE MORE FLOW
Do you have no routine? Create more structure, focus and flow in your week to prevent procrastination, distraction and frustration. Creative Feng Shui® is based upon living with intention so start taking inspired action towards your goals by planning out your family and work priorities in advance to encourage more momentum for your plans and more positive, enthusiastic and engaging conversations.
SEE THE LIGHT
Although facing a window isn’t healthy for your productivity, natural light is. Light is a big part of Creative Feng Shui®. Make a habit of paying attention to how much good quality light you actually enjoy throughout the day, as well as the quality and number of the indoor light sources in your office.
Allow as much sunshine as possible into your environment every day but make sure that your windows are clean to ensure the flow of sunlight is not blocked by dirt or debris.
You can also bring more light into your life by burning scented candles and adding ambient lighting to your office, preferably the upper left-hand side of your desk.
SURROUND YOURSELF WITH POSITIVITY
Your workspace strongly influences your productivity, creativity, motivation and inspiration so be aware of what you’re surrounding yourself with.
Enhancing your physical space can improve your outlook on life. When you work in a low-energy space, you run out of energy. So the aim is to surround yourself with inspiring artwork, motivational quotes and subliminal messages that raise your energy levels, passion and enthusiasm for what you do.
You can add something which reminds you of the people, places and events you love most. They are all reminders of what’s possible, why you want to thrive and the reasons to be positive in all that you do.
PLANT GOODNESS AROUND YOU
Turns out that positioning certain plants can bring positive health energy, good luck and help banish negative vibes. In addition to this, caring for plans can add a sense of grounding and nourishment to your life and business.
Ideally, you want plants which soften the hard angles in your office and evoke the feeling of being among nature, creating more curves and rounded edges. As a guide for what to avoid, steer away from the spikiness of cacti and thorn-covered plants as.
Any plant that is vibrant, lush, and healthy will bring good energy. Make sure that you use real plants as fake plants can attract negative energy or even lower your current mood and self-esteem. Surrounding yourself with flourishing greenery will allow you to work better and this will boost your health and stamina.
STIMULATE YOUR SENSES
Use your senses to establish a feeling of balance and harmony. Our senses in particular reach out beyond our physical boundaries and connect us to people and spaces in ways that are often subtle and unnoticed.
Scent plays a huge part in Creative Feng Shui® as it can instantly boost your mood, evoke emotions and lift your spirits. Sound is also used as an activator, either to raise the energy of the room with music or create a desired atmosphere with calming tones. Our sight and touch is then harnessed for the vision for the future, Aesthetics, textures, tones and enhancements to feel comforted, supported, inspired and empowered.
Harness the power of your senses by using essential oils, burning candles, listening to music and placing items you love in places you can feel the positive energy they welcome.
