Cleaning up clutter can help you relax, and oiling doors so they do not squeak can reduce irritation. Patricia Santhuff has some tips for when you "need an extra boost of energy for a particular project, or are having trouble decluttering:"
Add a wind chime in the room or over the work area and ring it now and then. Some feng shui practitioners say wind chimes foster clarity and creativity.
Vacuum and dust. This not only removes dirt; it actually freshens the chi.
Play some uplifting music.
Bring a desktop fountain into the area.
Energetically treat the room by using rattles or clapping, especially in corners and closets.
We should remember, too, that people—as well as spaces—need fresh chi in order to feel good and perform well. A few suggestions for raising personal chi:
Create something.
Clean your house, or just a drawer.
Call a friend. (But, try to avoid complaining!)
Buy fresh flowers for yourself.
Cancel a commitment you are sorry that you made.
Explore some part of your city or area you are not familiar with.
And do not forget the old standbys for feeling better, because they still work:
Take a walk.
Do deep breathing.
Meditate.
Take a hot bath.
Eat well.
