Making Feng Shui Work for Your Work Life: Enhancing Wealth

Shred ‘Em

Old papers, especially ones tied to the energy of struggle, despair, or loss will hold you down. These need to be released – purged if you will – in order to open up space for abundance to flow in. You’ll want to shred old papers instead of tossing them because of account and other information they contain, which could put you at risk of identity theft if they ever landed in the wrong hands. Check with an tax expert, though, before beginning your shredding party, to make sure that you are keeping records you might need for tax purposes. Some OfficeMax locations now offer secure ShredIt services. Priced very reasonably, you can drop off your papers and pay by-the-pound for them to be taken off you hands.

If you’re like my grandmother, though, you might just enjoy the satisfaction of putting the darn things through the shredder yourself. Although more time consuming when you have a bulk of things to shred, it can be very ritualistic. My grandma may not realize it, but she is doing an actual feng shui adjustment. The act of putting those things through the shredder is allowing her to consciously and unconsciously disconnect from their energy. Whether the ties to them are positive or negative, she is letting go of the past, and clearing out clutter, “zzzzzz” by “zzzzzz”.

Get Control of Your Finances Before Your Finances Control You

How would you describe the state of your finances? If your answer is “chaotic”, you need to take some serious time to straighten things out.

Adjusting the feng shui of your Wealth area can bring about significant results, enhancing your prosperity and your experience of abundance. However, it will not work on top of clutter and disorder. Don’t let your feng shui efforts will be thwarted by a mess in your office.

Overflowing stacks of paper and files in disarray are an exhibition in loss of control. Unopened mail and misplaced important documents contribute to the loss of your handle on money.

Any financial planner would agree. The top five things you need to have straight regarding your finances are:

Know what you have
Know what you spend
Know what you owe
Know what your goals are
Know your plan for getting there

This means that your papers should be in order, and easily accessible. Stay tuned for hints on how to do it.
