DIY: Optimistic Office Space Through Feng Shui

My office space here at SoJO is about to get relocated.  So I've got a blank canvas and a chance to start fresh, become more/stay organized, and bring totally different energy to my work space.  So what better way than to apply some principles of Feng Shui to make sure my workplace Chi is in line with success!  Take a look at this short video to help you get started.  I've also placed some helpful tips below to help you get started.

Here are 5 ways you can make your office space more serene:

1.  place your desk facing (but not directly in front of) the doorway so you're open to receiving visitors

2.  incorporate greenery by placing a live plant on the far left corner of your desk

3.  place a small water fountain or photo is water in the same space as your plant to help bring in elements of the outdoors (especially important if you work in a cubicle or office with no window)

4.  on the far right corner bring in something made of metal and/or glass (a symbol of strength); a lamp is a good suggestion

5.  keep desktop clutter (post-its, files) to a minimum for peace of mind
