Our physical environment can have an
enormous impact on our well-being. Although we don’t have complete
control over our surroundings, we can make specific efforts to infuse them with positivity.
Think about your office: What
feelings does it inspire? People who flank their computers with pictures
of loved ones aren’t just decorating—they’re ensuring a hit of positive emotion
each time they glance that direction. Bring a framed picture of your
spouse, child or closest friends to set on your desk. It’ll boost your
mood every time it catches your eye.
Making time to go outside on a nice
day also delivers a huge advantage. One study found that spending 30
minutes outside in good weather not only boosted one’s positive mood but
also broadened thinking and improved working memory. Don’t forget to
take a break from the screen every once in a while for a breath of fresh air.
You have the power to set yourself up for success.
