Here is a great article from Dr. Rick Goodman CSP. He speaks about the very thing that we provide for our business client.
An office space designed using Feng Shui principles will provide greater opportunities for productivity, clarity, and focus.
I don’t know a great deal about feng shui, the ancient art of organizing your environment to optimize energy flow. What I do know is that your work environment can have a major impact on your mood, your productivity levels, and your overall mental health. In my life as a Florida keynote speaker and motivational business speaker, I’ve learned through trial and error how to develop an office space that lends itself to clear thinking and a positive outlook.
I’ll share just a few tips with you today—some general insights into making a work area that really lends itself to your productivity.
Does Your Office Facilitate Productivity?
Add some color. I’m not saying you need to go crazy, and you can certainly maintain a clean, professional vibe. A few paintings, photographs, or hanging plants can help break the monotony of grey and white, however, and you might even consider a new coat of paint that livens things up a little. This isn’t just an aesthetic thing, by the way. Colors can help elevate your mood and keep your mind more engaged.
Rotate your photographs and personal memorabilia. I totally support having family photos in your workspace, but over time your environment can grow overly familiar to you—and one way to avoid that is to switch out those photos every few weeks or months.
Add helpful appliances. Would a space heater help you feel more comfortable during winter? Would a hot plate prevent you from needing to get up to freshen your coffee cup as often? Would a reed diffuser allow the office to smell fresher and cleaner? Any of these add-ons can really enhance your workday quality of life.
Ensure good lighting. This can’t be stressed enough: If your workspace is dim or dreary, that can’t help but have an adverse impact on your mood and on your energy levels. Make functional, illuminating light one of the key priorities of your work area!
Boost Your Productivity Through an Improved Office SpaceSome time spent redecorating your office can really change the way you work—and the amount you’re able to get done.

Feng Shui: both an art and a science based on the interpretation of the natural world and the study of movement, which enables us to create environments which support our hopes, wishes, dreams, and intentions. In Feng Shui, we connect to the energy of the spaces around us to bring about desired changes in our life. The single factor, which sets Feng Shui apart from other philosophical systems, is that it has the capacity for change built into it.
The practice of Feng Shui offers us the opportunity to achieve health happiness and well being through living in harmony with our immediate environment. It is embraced by people who are aware of the impact their surroundings have on them and fell the need to take action to improve their lives.
Feng Shui Comes From a Long Tradition, Dating Back 4000 Years
Feng Shui uses formulae, which determine the rising and falling energy in a given space. Feng Shui enables us to position ourselves within our environment to our best advantage. As we become more aware of our surroundings, and actively begin to change those factors, we gain a deeper insight into ourselves and our part in the wider picture. Chi is the life force of all animate things. The goal of Feng Shui is to create environments in which the Chi flows smoothly to achieve mental and physical health. Where the chi flows smoothly, the occupants will be positive and have an easy passage through life. Where the chi is stuck, there is disharmony. Feng Shui opens the passage for Chi flow, balances the forces of Yin -Yang and unlocks positive energy.
This journey begins at the entrance of the house -the mouth of the Chi- and moves in a predetermined way through the home until it reaches its conclusion, By focusing on an aspect of our lives which we want to stimulate or change, we can direct the energies of the universe and make them work for us.
Will LeStrange uses the Form School approach to balancing the environment. This method is most conducive to the urban landscape of New York, its structures, and the Western philosophy.

The following post What is Feng Shui? was first seen on Let’s begin with an amazing feng shui tip! When I conduct seminars and weekend workshops, I usually give some general tips on home, business and workspace feng shui. The first tip I give–and the one that provokes the most laughter is–Clear out your clutter. Did you know that clutter can actually create obstacles or blockages in our personal and professional lives? Ask yourself these questions and see if it applies… Are you experiencing: 1. Struggles with starting or completing projects? 2. Opportunities passing you by? 3. Conflicts with other people? 4. Desire a relationship? 5. Health concerns that won’t go away? 6. Feeling stagnant in your career goals? 7. Lack of harmony in your life? 8. Difficulty in Concentrating? 9. Having a problem saving money?
If you have answered YES to any of these questions–guess what? The stresses and problems of life often come from the places where we live and work. Feng Shui shows you how the way you arrange your home, office, or business affects not just your personal and professional activities, but your health, wealth and happiness. Feng Shui promotes free energy flow through your living environment or workplace. Clutter blocks that flow. Clutter can keep you stuck in the past and prevent you from growing or reaching your future aspirations. It can sometimes affect your health and clarity of mind. When I first got introduced to Feng Shui, I didn’t realize that those large plastic bags of old clothes and boxes of books and papers that I hadn’t looked at for years were actually blocking my opportunities. It was both fun and a relief when I got my family together, rented a car, and dropped off a lot of these items at the Salvation Army and the Library. Within a few days of accomplishing this task—my business improved immensely! It was like receiving a triple dose of vitality – helping someone in need, giving books to read. Freeing myself from clutter—making my life easier. Just imagine, freeing yourself from clutter can: · Create positive energy to flow throughout your living space. · Revitalize and energize your life in more ways than you can imagine. · Help Your Mind, Body, and Spirit-become one–clearer as your goals become more real.
How do you begin to move your clutter out (and make room for new successes in your life)? Like anything else – start with one piece at a time. First, pick it up, then, look at it and decide right then: What I usually call the 12-month method. Ask yourself: will I use this item within the next 12 months? Be really honest with yourself. Then decide: Keep it? Give away? Throw away? File away? Next, put that decision into action. (Be careful with the “keep it or file away”! Remember, if you’ll use the item within the next 12 months fine. Don’t hang onto things just because they might be needed sometime soon. Soon probably won’t come.) Are you ready to take the first step? Go get some garbage bags, boxes and go to town on all that clutter. Try it. It’s a lot of fun. Then, write me back and let know of your experience. I’d love to hear about your progress.
