Instead of resolutions youre likely to break or expensive gym memberships you won't use, try out some quick moves from the ancient art of feng shui to help ensure this year is your best one yet.

Feng shui coach Susan Chan has been consulting clients on how to balance their lives for over 10 years. She gave Mashable insider tips that take minutes, with results that last much longer.

Your external world is a representation of whats going on inside of you, Chan says. When something in your home is off it affects your mood, its the internal and the external constantly going back and forth.

Take a second, pretend youre in an airplane and locate the exit nearest to you. If it happens to be behind you, Chan suggests you get that doorway in sight or else risk being energetically unsettled.

She calls the concept the command position. At one time, this meant you could see your enemies in case of attack; now it's translated to being in control of your life.

If moving your desk around isnt very realistic, try placing a small mirror on your desk so surprises will have nothing on you.
