Money makes the world go around. Finding employment is a need everyone has. That doesn’t mean we are going to love every position that we have. There are times we need to get a paycheck. It is leading us not to be very excited about going to work each day. Try a few simple things to help keep you in a good mood.

Plants

Bring plants to work. If you don’t have them already talk to your employer about adding them. They need to be living plants. These plants will give off fresh oxygen. Oxygen and the color green is proven to increase alpha brainwaves. Helping to keep you in the right headspace.

Office

Personalize

Are you stuck in a cubical? Staring at gray walls all day long. That will cause anyone to be unhappy. Decorate your space. Bring in pictures of the people and things that you love. Have stuff on your desk you enjoy. Block out the dreary gray and give yourself something you will look forward to seeing.

Healthy Food

Junk food may fill the void for the moment, but it will not improve your mood. To stay positive, you need food choices that will make you feel good. Find healthy food options close to work. If not, prepare healthy meals that you enjoy to take to work. The more optimistic you are about your body, the better you will feel.

Positive choices will improve your environment. Don’t let work get you down.
