More than half of the day we spent and stuck in the office. Therefore, we find as comfortable as possible. This will help us improve our performance and reduce stress levels. There are multiple theories about how to make more pleasant the stay of workers in our jobs. One theory that can be applied to ensure that the context in which work is gentler is Feng Shui. Literally translated this term into Castilian is’ winds over calm waters.” The origin of this technique is Chinese and his ultimate goal is to analyze the daily dialogue established between the world and its environment: our home, our job, our city … The basic premise is that if we establish a harmonious and cooperative relationship with all those elements that surround us, we increase our chances of succeeding in all areas of our lives, including work.
Balance between yin and yang
Feng Shui can help us feel more comfortable in our workplace, whether in our own home or elsewhere. The work environment must be not only pleasant but also must motivate us to perform our duties as best as possible. The office must be functional above all and seek a balance between yin and yang, the balance be achieved provided that the room can reach a state of relaxation and concentration (yin) but, moreover, encourage and get inciting activity (yang). All components of the office must comply with this balance. The way in which elements are placed inside the room will be vital, according to Feng Shui, to make us feel better within our workplace. The characteristics of the furniture will also be decisive. The desktop, without going further, it should be spacious, it is also advisable to have kidney-shaped or otherwise rounded corners and no sharp. As advice, it is recommended to put on his desk a small figure or an art object that will help us turn our energy. There are some elements and materials of the office that can combine to get the energy balance we seek. If somewhere in the room there is a carpet, we put a floor above. It is also important that if some decorative elements of the house are of natural materials, such as a leather chair or wooden furniture, located somewhere a fish tank or fountain in this way will improve our performance.
Protective elements
Feng Shui in addition to finding a balance of forces is also seeking protection from all negativity. There are some guidelines to avoid the negative energy in the workplace. One premise of this philosophy is that you should never turn your back door or because they are equivalent access to opportunities and we must protect ourselves from possible treason and conspiracies hatched behind us. Therefore, the chair you sat at the desk must have a high back that we cover most of the back. It is also advisable to have a wall or behind furniture, so we will be protected like a turtle: our shell will be the back of the chair and the wall or furniture in their absence.
Attend the orientation
Feng Shui is also a fundamental premise the orientation and position during work performance. There is a theory concerning this to be applied and which is called the ‘eight wonders’ or ‘eight houses’. This theory deals with the guidelines which are most suitable for each person. Each individual belongs Kua number which is determined by sex and year of birth. Depending on this number some areas they will be more favorable than others and it is desirable that, if a person has a job in one of the points that are favorable, try to move towards the points you agree to achieve their goals. All the elements we use as a means of communication in the office should also geared towards our positive areas. Find out what our Kua number is not complicated, there are multiple tables of equivalences on the Internet.
Every business has its secret
The discipline of Feng Shui has some premises also to be observed in reference to the character of business as practiced in the office and function of each area or department. For every business there is an element that governs it. This element will be decided based on which the company produces: a jeweler’s metal, a laundry is water, a wood furniture store is. Therefore, we must feed each of these elements that govern us with symbolic objects such as a sale and export business is fire and, therefore, to office plants help to activate because the fire is fed with wood . It is important to note these details because, if for example we decorated the office with details that we like but they are totally adverse to our element, may adversely affect our business purposes.
