Day 6: Surround Yourself With Happy Things!

Another short and sweet adjustment you can make to your living space that will promote positivity and energy. Being surrounded by things that make you happy is going to, uh, make you happy :)


Cubicle = Misery
I used to work in an office where i sat at a cubicle. I know first hand that staring at gray walls all day is no help to being productive and energized at work. If you have the freedom to do so, re vamp that boring desk space with some things from home that make you happy. A couple ideas: Pictures of loved ones, quotes to keep you motivated, pictures of goals you are working towards to keep you motivated, and anything with color to keep your mood up.


Home Office - Needs Happy Boost
If you are a stay at home mom, or your office happens to be inside your home, keeping yourself surrounded with happy things will boost your energy levels and motivation as well. People think just because you don't have to sit at an office all day that you don't have the same dreary days as those of us who work in an office, um wrong. Actually, people who work in an office have it a bit better because they get to punch out at 5:00 and go home to their sanctuary. For those women who stay or work at home, they don't get to leave the office at 5 because the home IS their office. As a matter of fact, the home can sort of turn into a dungeon. This is why its important to designate one room as your "work" room. Keep this your office, and surround yourself with colorful, and happy things. Pinterest has so many amazing ideas for decorating and organizing home office spaces


Color Me Happy


Different colors are said to promote different feelings. Surrounding yourself with things of a certain color can have a great impact on your daily mood and energy levels.

Red: Energy
Orange: Creativity
Yellow: Joy, energy and sunshine
Green: Freshness, harmony and growth
Blue: Trusts, wisdom and confidence
Purple: Royalty and romance
White: Innocence and purity

It is a proven fact that certain colors can act as a sort of therapy when the blues (no pun intended) creep along.


Atmosphere has a direct impact on our moods and happiness levels, so surrounding yourself and decorating your daily environment with things that make you smile is going to boost your morale, productivity, and energy level.
