2. Fire. Increase enthusiasm and leadership skills by maximizing the fire element. Use this element in design to encourage expressiveness, inspiration and boldness. When there's an overabundance of fire, it can show itself as anger, aggression, irritability and impulsive behavior, whereas too little can show up as emotional coldness, lack of vision, inexpressiveness and a lack of self-esteem.
To expand the fire element in your space, add:
- candles, incandescent lights and sunlight
- any shade of red, pink or purple
- electronic equipment
- animal prints
