The Space You Grace

The space you grace really makes a difference y'all.

Tuesday the contractors came and finished working on the ceiling above my window once and for all. What a breath of relief to be able to put the room back together! I got such life from placing my pothos plant babies back in the window, rearranging the space for exercise, and most importantly re-organizing my desk.

There are so many moments in here now that inspire me and uplift me, from the board I put up with my motivations, to the new cord management box I created from a gift given at my last job. And of course this new recycled lampshade made from the @partycity tablecloths from our wellness event that gives my old lamp new glamorous life.

Surrounding myself with simple, functional things that I find beautiful or meaningful feels so good. I'm learning that putting my energy into this space really helps feed the atmosphere of creativity and inspiration so when I feel low or I'm having a bad day, that same energy comes back to feed me and lift me up just by me walking into the room.

This energy exchange is so real, it can't just be me. Does this happen for you too? Where you add something that makes you happy or that you find meaningful to your space, and it lifts your mental and emotional state every time you look at it or interact with it? What is that thing for you? I know I can't be the only one!
