Try playing with these ideas to bring more awareness to your Cave Workspace.

Some Environments are better for Caves than others, but considering what’s available to you in the space around you can go a long way. Take what feels fun and expansive and leave the rest. These ideas are to get you thinking about your Environment in a more expansive way.

Consider the position of your desk

How can you arrange the room so your back is protected? What position allows you to have the best view of all the entry points to the room? Make sure you’re facing the entrance to the space.

Consider your lighting

Literal Caves don’t have an above light source, rather an outside or lower light source. How might you play with this in your workspace? Prioritize your lighting through your workspace either through natural light or fun lamps or candles. Get creative with it.

Invest in a good chair or seat

The Cave is cozy and holds you perfectly. But it’s not clumped together with rocks and uncomfortable materials. It’s worked in, soft, and holds you well. Consider what the most comfortable back support is for your preferences. A Cave person’s back must always be protected and prioritized.

Control who has access to you

Depending on your line of work, consider how this may affect you. The Cave Person must be in control of how others approach them; this helps the body to feel safe. How are your clients or customers approaching you? Do you work on social media? Are they accessing you from too many places? Can customers walk right in to your office or store? Consider how your client or customer engages with you and arrange those interactions so you are in control.

Get the guarantees

Whether that’s some form of job security, benefits, insurance, etc, the guarantees in your workplace help to create built-in safety. Consider how this might affect your line of work, or if you’re an entrepreneur, how you might build in security features, personal benefits, or automatic investments.

Consider workplace safety

Is your office located in an area that makes you feel unsafe? Are there coworkers you have to engage with that you don’t trust, feel threatened by, or are scared of for whatever reason? It’s important your work environment feels as safe and secure to you as possible. Consider what you’re in control of and how you might be able to ensure workplace safety among your staff, coworkers, and clients (depending on line of work). Make note of any safe spaces or muster points.
