As a modern woman, achieving one’s desired success in the workplace and even surpassing it, holds significant importance. In the realm of Feng Shui, there is an art to it as well. Recently, many dedicated mothers have visited me. While they are financially affluent, they don’t seem truly content. I have always advocated for women to be independent, to have their own hobbies and careers, and not to rely entirely on men for their livelihood. However, the inherent vulnerability in women often keeps many mothers from reentering society after leaving the workforce. Let us now explore how contemporary women, in the era of information, can adeptly utilize occupational Feng Shui to navigate the workplace with ease and assertiveness.
**I. Determine Your Career Path Based on Your Five Elements and Astrological Preferences**
The time we have in our lives is fleeting, and every individual yearns for beauty and happiness. Each person harbors dreams, big or small. As career-oriented women, we must first decide which industry we wish to serve. Our energy is limited; focusing on one thing in our lifetime is sufficient. Every field can be categorized according to the five elements. For instance, performing arts belongs to the Fire element. Individuals whose astrological charts favor Fire are suitable for this field. How do we determine which element our astrological chart favors? Everything in the world can be understood through the principles of Yin and Yang. For instance, people born in winter feel cold; thus, introducing some Fire brings warmth. People born in summer experience excessive heat and may prefer staying in air-conditioned environments. Spring witnesses the active growth of plants, and the balance of Metal is needed. In autumn, when everything withers, a touch of vitality represented by the color green is necessary. Earth, as the mother of all things, is needed at all times. Similarly, for those born at night without the presence of the moon, sunlight might be needed to balance their energy. Understanding the interplay of these elements in one’s astrological chart is essential. Do not cling to surface interpretations; our ancestors’ wisdom is far from simplistic.
Women embody the Kun Gua, representing receptivity, tolerance, integrity, and grace. Thus, career choices should evoke positive sentiments in others. Industries that evoke beauty, such as fashion, jewelry, cosmetics, and even the modern trend of personal shopping, are suitable for women. It is rare to find women working as couriers, traditionally considered men’s work. Within a team, women often occupy roles like front desk receptionists because they create a first impression of beauty to clients. Sales positions are also predominantly held by women due to their natural affinity and charm.
To avoid unnecessary detours and save time and effort, it is crucial to deeply understand one’s astrological preferences, decide on a career path, and gain motivation. Without a clear direction, one may constantly shift interests, leading to a lack of accomplishment in the long run.
**II. Cultivate Occupational Psychological Feng Shui**
In the ever-changing landscape of the world, a robust mental attitude is paramount. Remaining composed in challenging situations requires a well-developed mindset. In today’s rapidly evolving information age, women must continuously learn and improve themselves. This includes external knowledge acquisition as well as internal spiritual elevation. Many women ask me why their businesses consistently fail. Aside from karmic factors, their lack of dedicated learning often plays a role. External knowledge acquisition boosts confidence. Learning from experts in the field helps in approaching and surpassing their level. Inadequate preparation often results in stage fright in certain situations.
Internal spiritual elevation is even more critical. Only through constant spiritual practice can we enhance our wisdom and establish an invincible occupational psychological Feng Shui. If you do not invest in your own learning, how can you expect your performance to improve? Many women suffer from poor mental states and crumble under pressure, failing to recover from setbacks. This mentality is detrimental to a successful career. It is essential to dedicate time each year to study professional knowledge and engage in spiritual practice to elevate our spirituality and wisdom.
**III. Cultivate Professional Charm Feng Shui**
Women possess innate advantages in the workplace, enabling them to become captivating individuals. In Feng Shui, there are secrets to rapidly enhance your professional charm.
Firstly, there is the art of giving, as advocated in Buddhism. Continuously give to others to the best of your ability, whether in material possessions, knowledge, or mental fearlessness. The popular practice of WeChat red envelopes exemplifies this. Receiving even a small amount brings immense joy, not necessarily due to financial need but because of the thrill of unexpected gains. Give whatever you can, even if it’s a meal at a restaurant, covering a friend’s bill, or not bothering about exact change while shopping. Gifts such as a can of tea, a bouquet of flowers, or a piece of chocolate, chosen with care, can bring immense joy. By giving, you receive great rewards. However, the essence lies not in the desire for wealth but in making giving a habit, generating boundless positive energy.
Giving also involves the gift of time, providing companionship and helping others alleviate their worries.
Secondly, there is the art of praise, akin to the Buddhist concept of rejoicing. Never hesitate to praise anyone or anything. Every detail can be a subject of your admiration, and specificity enhances the sincerity of your compliment. For example, instead of a general compliment like “You are great,” it is more effective to be specific and genuinely admire from your heart. I recall a mature woman who was often critical and hard to please. I complimented her unique red dress, saying how youthful and extraordinary she looked. This compliment melted her icy demeanor, leading to a warm relationship and subsequent visits to our store. The secret lies in genuine praise; authenticity can break down the iciest barriers.
In the workplace, compliment your boss’s distinctive tie, your colleague’s elegant hairstyle, or your client’s intelligent and kind eyes. Praise, praise, and keep praising – it will make your charm shine! Remember, sincere praise applies to everyone, in every situation, at any time and place.
Thirdly, there is love and attention, in line with the Buddhist teaching of compassion. Extend your love and attention to everyone around you – your team, the various groups in your WeChat circle, your superiors, your competitors, and all living beings you encounter. Your value is reflected in the love and attention you show towards others. People often criticize others, indulge in negativity, gossip, and complain, especially women. As career women, it is imperative to control our speech and only utter loving, gentle, and kind words to guard our karma.
Every day, extend your love and attention to everyone and everything you encounter. Say, “I love you,” from your heart, and wish them happiness, beauty, and liberation.
**IV. Cultivate Personal Feng Shui**
This aspect emphasizes the importance of cultivating a positive aura and Feng Shui through one’s appearance. If a woman is unattractive and neglects her appearance, she is not worthy of being called a woman. A woman’s demeanor, clothing, hairstyle, and overall style reveal her professional secrets. Who doesn’t appreciate a graceful woman, a ladylike woman, or a carefree woman? Career women must learn about color coordination in clothing, align it with their astrological preferences, and choose attire that suits them. Additionally, cultivating cultural knowledge in fields like literature, music, dance, and art is essential. Yoga can replace dance, and for introverted individuals, learning
street dance can quickly transform them. Just 10 minutes of street dance every morning can ignite their passion for the entire day.
