Feng Shui seems to be a dead term, but ever more powerful and noticed concept.
Last night my SO said it was dumb that she slept better when the closet doors and dresser drawers were closed. I reminded her there are thousands of ways that are impacting her sleep without her being conscious of it (and props for noticing these two simple and controllable parts).
Did you know the direction your feet point when sleeping matters too? Also, having your work computer in the room you sleep in takes a toll on the quality of your zzz’s.
What about the room you hold your creative meetings in. Surely you don’t have examples of disappointments hanging on the board from last week. That’s poor feng shui.
There’s a co-working space here in Madison that is absolutely electric, inspiring, and a perfect charging station for entrepreneurs. As far as I know, they’re not circulating any drugs through the vents. It’s all because of the way it’s set up: open, art on the walls, plenty of windows.
Ever wonder why some retail stores smell so wonderful? There’s consumer science behind it. People are more likely to purchase items when they are in a place that smells familiar and pleasant.
As for me, I rarely write anywhere besides my work place dojo, the book store or at my desk, my personal dojo where I control the smell, the sights, the seating comfort. I’ve learned to associate these spaces with a particular outcome of a great blog post, a wonderful beer column, a new idea clipped on my Evernote.
Small ways your rooms are set up can collectively have a big impact. More importantly, can collectively produce outcomes you want… again and again.
