Everyday Life and Happiness

The condition of your outer-world typically represent your inner condition. 

If your insides are toxic odds are so is your environment

This week we start a new challenge.  We are moving our Clutter Busting Challenge to work – you know…the place where you spend 40 hours each week?

Whether your “office” is in a building or at home, clutter at work can hold us back from promotion, affect our relationship with our co-workers and our customers, and have a direct effect upon our weekly paychecks. 

Because our outer condition is a visable sign to the world of how we feel about ourselves inside.  If your desk is littered with papers, old coffee cups and disorganized files (like mine is) – you definitely need this challenge!

Job #1:  Take a picture of your cluttered office space and then give it a thorough cleaning. 

1.  Organize all paperwork
2.  Get your filing neatly in order
3.  Clean your computer desktop too
4.  Wipe down any workspaces
5.  Get some bin boxes or other office organizers

Job #2:  Add positivity to your workspace

1.  Perhaps bring in a flower arrangement to keep on your desk
2.  Put out pictures of loved ones or a favorite vacation
3.  Hang positive messages around your workspace (if you work will let you)
4.  Change your desktop background to something pleasant
5.  Use bright and colorful pens and organizers to keep your spirits high

So I am asking that you take a picture of your workspace before and after and e-mail it to me at julieb@everydaylifeandhappiness.com along with your clutter busting story!  What elements did you eliminate from your workspace?  What things did you add to promote happy feelings?   I really would like to feature your story for others to be inspired from!

You could help to be the inspirtation for someone else to take action and de-toxify their lives!
