Now, what about when you do commence work again? To bring even more positive energy into your work life, give your workplace a little spruce-up on your first day back. Here are a few ways that can help create good feng shui in your office:
5. Add a fish tank or air-purifying plants to your desk
A pretty plant can brighten up any room! Having plants around you can lift up your spirits when you’re stressed and relieve any tension in the workplace. In feng shui, plants that help clean the air and remove harmful gases are the best to also clean the energy in the room. Some favourites are the Areca palm, bamboo palm, rubber plant, and of course, the money plant. Want something a little more unique? Get a fish tank! One of the most widely known symbols of wealth, fish are believed to be even more auspicious in an aquarium. Pretty much everything in an aquarium – from the flow of water to the bright colours of the fish and water plants – welcome positive energy as well as bring harmony to all the energy.
