We previously offered some of Weber’s feng shui tips for the home. Here are additional tips for your home and your home office:
When you enter your house, does your eye goes right out the window to the backyard? That allows the chi, the energy, to rush in – and then rush right back out. “It’s like pouring a bucket of water over your head and saying, ‘that’s all you get to drink for the day,’ ” Weber says. She suggests you find a way to block that view, perhaps by using a screen.
Weber also advises against an L-shaped seating arrangement in the living room. “If you put the sofa and chairs opposite one another, it’s easier to converse; you don’t have to turn your head or your body.”
Don’t place the desk in your home office in front of a wall, Weber says. “That doesn’t allow energy to move in front of your desk. You end up feeling pressured, or like you’re rolling a boulder up a hill. By bringing more flow around your desk, you increase the flow in your life.”
Final bit of advice: Leave three blank folders on the left side of your desk for new clients. They should be red folders – the red color keeps them activated; it keeps you warm, and keeps your files energized. You’ll also be amazed to find potential clients start calling, asking about working with you.
