A comfortable and proper workspace is crucial for productivity and positive collaboration with colleagues and superiors. If you often experience disagreements while working in a team, dissatisfaction from your boss, stagnant salary, lower bonuses than others, and difficulty in career advancement, it’s important to first evaluate whether the job is suitable for you, if you’ve put in your best effort, if you genuinely enjoy the work, and if you’ve made a serious investment in your job. Then, consider the following feng shui factors related to your workspace:
Review the position of your desk
If the desk is positioned below a horizontal beam, you may feel uneasy sitting there. The beam exerts pressure on your mental state and reduces productivity and work efficiency. Therefore, if your desk is beneath a beam, try to move it. If relocation is not possible, place a statue of laughing Buddha with raised hands on the desk to counteract the negative effects.
Review the material and shape of the desk
A glass desk can be distracting, and a metal desk is only suitable for those born under the Metal element. Hence, it’s best to use a wooden desk. A square desk can create stagnation and hinder the flow of energy, while a round desk lacks stability. Therefore, choose a sturdy rectangular wooden desk. However, remember to round the corners to avoid sharp edges that can cause conflicts with colleagues and superiors.
If changing the desk is not possible, place a feng shui plant that is suitable for your element to counteract the negative effects.
Review the arrangement of your workspace
The workspace should be neat and clean, free of miscellaneous items and trash. Therefore, rearrange your workspace, avoiding cluttered arrangements that make you feel stagnant. However, also avoid leaving things scattered around. Eliminate any unnecessary items and never leave trash on the desk.
Add feng shui objects to your workspace
You can choose from the following feng shui objects to create a positive energy in your workspace, helping attract wealth and opening up your mind for smoother work:
Pixiu: Pixiu has a head similar to a Qilin and is considered the 9th offspring of a dragon. Pixiu is a powerful charm that helps improve your work and makes it more favorable.
Crystal ball: A feng shui crystal ball is suitable for your workspace as it brings in positive yang energy, absorbing the essence of the earth and sky. The round shape symbolizes harmony and focuses the earth and sky qi, helping you work better and more efficiently.
Feng shui horse: You can choose a horse to represent a successful career. If the item is a four-legged horse, position it towards the main entrance. If it is an eight-legged horse, position the horse’s head towards the inside to fully utilize its wealth and opportunity energies.
Wenchang Tower: Wenchang Tower is a feng shui object that brings luck to academic and work pursuits, facilitating smooth progress. Wenchang Tower symbolizes intelligence and virtue, making it suitable for your workspace.
Five Element Gods of Fortune: The Five Element Gods of Fortune are categorized as follows: Fortune (good fortune), Prosperity (wealth), Longevity (longevity), Talent (success), and Happiness (luck). The combination of these five gods represents balanced elements based on the theory of mutual generation. Placing the Five Element Gods of Fortune on your workspace helps you have positive energy and a peaceful state of mind while working.
Sailing ship model: A sailing ship model symbolizes overcoming difficulties, representing success and conquering challenges, indicating that no matter what kind of hardships you face, you will finally achieve peace and success. You can choose a small set of sailing ship models to place on your desk.
For the feng shui objects, it’s recommended to choose one or two important and favorite items to avoid overcrowding and competitive conflicting energies on the desk.
