Have you ever thought about just how much time you spend at work? It’s at least one-third of your day! So, it’s important that your office is filled with good vibes and positive energy to support a successful day in the business. Today, I am sharing tips to bring positive energy to the workplace, including energy-clearing practices, decor choices, and my personal end-of-day routine.
1. Encourage Smooth Communication
Smooth communication is essential to encouraging positivity at work. From employees and coworkers to vendors and networking groups, you want to ensure your speech empowers the person you’re speaking with. You can find tips for an office layout that encourages good business communication and collaboration in this blog.
2. Do a Smoke Clearing Practice
Smoke clearing is the first thing many people think of when it comes to releasing stale or negative energies. It makes space for more positivity in the workplace. While burning sage, or smudging, is the most common herb used, you can use several other herbs and tools depending on your needs. Burning palo santo can invite prosperity. Clearing the space with a myrrh incense can help restore alignment within your space and your own mind.
How to do it:
Burn your herb or incense of choice until smoke appears. Then, walk around your space, waving your herb in an upward motion while envisioning your intention. Command the stale or negative energy to release through open windows in the office. Do not send smoke into hallways, corridors, or the main door.
3. Avoid Sharp Objects
Keep your desk and the space behind you free of sharp objects. This includes items like scissors—place them in a drawer instead. Similarly, avoid placing sharp furniture or decor between your door and your desk. Sharp objects are thought to pierce or puncture the positive chi. This type of furniture can also create blocks or cause negative energy, making you feel anxious or uncomfortable at work.
4. Ground Yourself Every Morning
Set an intention for the day as soon as you get to your office building each morning. It could be for boosted productivity, prosperity, or just a calm environment that day. Take time to think about that intention and how it will play out in your day. This practice can be as short as 30 seconds or five minutes.
5. Ground Your Space Through Decor
There are several ways you can keep the energy grounded within your office. Simple practices like envisioning a white light filling the office or repeating mantras are great. Or you can use objects like mats and other elements to enhance the energy.
Add a carpet under your desk
Place a carpet under your desk to stay grounded while sitting and working. It can even be as simple as a small mat. Earthing mats are becoming more popular to feel the same exchange of electrons you’d get in an outdoor setting.
Keep both feet planted firmly on the carpet or mat to reap the benefits of this decor piece.
Opt for wooden furniture
The earth element is naturally associated with grounding energy. To encourage serene, grounding energy, choose a wooden desk, wooden filing cabinets, and other wood furniture.
Although beautiful, glass is associated with nervous and cutting energy, so try to avoid it if you can.
6. Create A Crystal Grid
Here are some beneficial crystals you can charge and use to bring positive energy into the workplace:
- Clear quartz: This crystal has grounding energy that can benefit an office space. It is also considered an all-purpose crystal because it can amplify the energy of other crystals around it. You can use it to enhance your manifestations for the day.
- Citrine: Considered a career crystal, citrine keeps your energy focused on career opportunities and can attract success, prosperity, and abundance to your business.
- Black Tourmaline with Mica: This empowering protection crystal keeps out negative vibes.
Recently, I worked with a business client who had an office space across from a casino. Because casinos are associated with a lot of noise, movement, and grief (from losing or gambling addiction), I knew it was important to protect the office from absorbing that energy. To remedy this energy, I created a grid of Black Tourmaline with Mica across the windowsill to keep the heavy energy from coming in and to protect the positive energy I was creating for my client within the office.
7. Keep healthy, living plants around the office
Plants provide positive energy to any space, but especially to offices. Their leaves multiply when they’re healthy and represent the same abundant energy you want to have for your business. Depending on the type of plant, it can even keep the air clean and filled with oxygen. While fake plants are easier to care for, the benefits from real plants are worth the extra work!
8. Put Your Office to Sleep
Finally, I personally put my office to sleep at the end of the day. This process involves putting away pending files, ensuring that only current files are out. I clear my desk. Right before it’s time to leave, give gratitude for the day and close the door. This allows your space to rest, reset, and recharge so that it is ready for the next day.
