I’ve been cleaning my office this week, and decided that the big clunky desk I’ve been using just doesn’t work. It gets cluttered, there is too much space (which means plates, cups and bowls tend to sit for a couple days), and it’s just not “me.” I finally committed to an idea I’ve had for months, which is to set up a cute cafe table and chairs in the sunny corner of the room, with an outdoor view.
My new desk is now a round bistro table! I love to get work done in cafes, and now it’s like I’m at a cafe all the time! There is also an extra rule that I’ve set at this table: It is meant to be relaxed at, so if I start to feel stress, I either need to deal with it, or move to another location. This corner of the room is not meant to be a place where I feel pressure. It’s for relaxing and working when I’m in the flow.
Good health starts with a healthy environment. If you find that part of your environment, such as your car, kitchen, or bathroom, isn’t supporting you anymore, commit to making a change, just like I did this week.
