Fear of Success at Work

Dear Nancilee,

I have been reading your books and watched your video on feng shui and since moving things around and following your guidelines, I have noticed definite improvements in my career. In fact, I have just been promoted. While things are going great, I am experiencing an underlying feeling of uncertainty about my job. I am getting a new office where the placement of the doors makes me nervous. There are two entrance doors on one wall. My employees use one door and I use the other door. I can’t figure out where to put my desk because there is also a closet door opposite these two doors and another wall has a window. Here’s the room’s layout do you have any suggestions?

Thank you,
AR. Lancaster, CA (via email)

Dear AR,

Almost all of us suffer some anxiety when faced with change. Living up to other’s expectations can trigger deep-seated insecurities. It’s only when these anxieties affect your overall mental, emotional or physical health that there is cause for concern. That said, let’s commence with solving your dilemma and avert any future troubles.

Your desk should face the entrance doors. Facing the place of entry is empowering and being experienced as powerful can be advantageous to a person in leadership position. Naturally, personal power should not be wielded unreasonably for it is always a leader’s job to empower those working under you too.

If you are right-handed, the east-facing window might impact upon tasks requiring writing tasks during the morning hours. Angle your desk as shown in my suggested cure drawing.

It is equally important to neutralize the door behind you. In our biological origin we are naturally fearful of penetrations into a protected space. While I am sure you don’t believe something is going to pop out of the closet and harm you, it’s not that simple to turn off a limbic system reaction to the threat of danger. I suggest you loop a bell over the closet door handle or install a sliding latch on the outside. You know the bell would ring should the door be opened and realize too that a latched door will not be opened without your intervention.

Furthermore, I want to remind you that promotions are usually well deserved. Thus doing your best while feeling empowered and secure is the ticket to success.

Best future,
Nancilee Wydra
