Have you ever noticed that attorneys and executives always have their desk facing the door of their offices? There’s reason for that besides the fact that it makes a person seem important. Your nervous system is most comfortable and therefore works better when you have a solid wall behind you and a full view of the door, the most used door in any space. That’s the “power position.”

Your nervous system is programed for survival. When you can see what’s coming at you, your nervous system settles down. You are able to relax and feel empowered.

Check it out! Move your desk if your back is to the door. Then pay attention to how you feel, how you work and your attitude. I predict improvement in all three areas!
