Is your desk setup affecting your mood?

Is your desk set up secretly impacting your mood?

Remember this:

"What you face shapes your pace.

Your surroundings steer your focus and set your space."

(Thank you ChapGPT for this catchy quote)

In our daily work lives, it’s crucial to recognize how our immediate environment affects us.

While we can’t control everything, creating a workspace that supports our goals can enhance our mood and productivity.

Consider what you see when you sit down to work. Is it clutter or distractions?

These elements can weigh on your mind and hinder focus.

I once visited the Apple offices in Richmond, B.C. and noticed how white, empty, and uncluttered the space was, allowing employees to focus and spark creativity.

Now, think about the positive things you could have in your line of sight.

Here are a few examples:

- Inspirational quotes: Reminders of your goals to boost motivation.

- Personal mementos: Photos or achievements that enhance your mood.

- Plants or nature Images: Greenery that creates a calming atmosphere.

- Organized tools: Tidiness that streamlines your workflow.

You don’t need 10 items.

Just 1 meaningful object can make a big impact.

It’s about choosing what you face to align with your aspirations.

Your environment impacts you.  Pay attention to what you look at when you are working.
