Feng Shui is about creating harmony and balance in your environment to improve the flow of “chi” (energy), which can influence your luck.
-
Declutter and Clear the Entrance:
- Why it works: Clutter creates stagnant energy and blocks the flow of positive chi.
Your front door is considered the “mouth of chi,” where opportunities and good fortune enter your home. - How to do it quickly:
- Clear your entryway: Remove any shoes, bags, mail, or anything else that obstructs the path into your home.
- Clean your front door: Wipe down the door, clean any windows, and ensure the area immediately outside is tidy and welcoming. A clean welcome mat can also help.
- Focus on one small area: Even if you can’t declutter your whole house, tackling your entryway can have an immediate impact.
- Why it works: Clutter creates stagnant energy and blocks the flow of positive chi.

Move Furniture to a “Commanding Position”:
- Why it works: The “commanding position” in Feng Shui gives you a sense of security and control, which can positively impact your mindset and energy.
- How to do it quickly:
- Identify key furniture: Your bed (for well-being) and your desk (for work/career) are the most important.
- Position them diagonally to the door: Ideally, you should be able to see the main door to the room while lying in bed or sitting at your desk, but not be directly in line with it. This allows you to see opportunities coming in without being overwhelmed by the energy.
- Create space around your bed: If possible, ensure there’s space on all sides of your bed for qi to flow freely.
- Why it works: The “commanding position” in Feng Shui gives you a sense of security and control, which can positively impact your mindset and energy.

Incorporate Fresh Plants or Flowers:
- Why it works: Plants bring life, growth, and vibrant energy (wood element) into a space.
They also purify the air and represent new beginnings. - How to do it quickly:
- Add a small plant to your “wealth corner”: In Feng Shui, the wealth corner is often the far left corner of a room when standing at the entrance.
A small, healthy green plant here can symbolize growth and prosperity. - Place fresh flowers in areas where you want to boost energy: Flowers, especially vibrant ones, can instantly uplift the energy of a room.
Just be sure to remove them as soon as they start to wilt, as dying plants represent wilting life force.

Remember, Feng Shui is also about your intention and mindset. Approaching these changes with a positive outlook and a belief in their effectiveness can amplify their impact.
