Yes, environmental well-being can be about the planet (shout out to mother nature 🌎). In the context of work, it’s also about creating harmony between you and your surroundings, spaces that calm your nervous system, spark creativity, and support your goals.
Your environment talks to you all day long. Sometimes it says,
🧠 “I got you! Let’s focus and thrive.”
And other times it screams,
😵💫 “I’m a hot mess... so are you.”
In a high-performance world, we often push through messy desktops, cluttered calendars, and overstimulating spaces. Here’s the elephant in the room: your environment is either draining your energy or fueling it.
The good news? You don’t need a full remodel. You don’t need a whole new space, just one that helps you feel whole.
💡 Reflection Questions:
Does my environment support my growth?
How do I feel when I walk into this space?
What’s one small shift I can make to feel supported?
🦋 Routines:
Declutter physical and digital spaces throughout the week (even 5–10 minutes can shift your mindset).
Regulate sensory input: adjust lighting, color, sound, and scent to meet your needs.
Add natural elements like plants, sunlight, or fresh air to recharge your system.
Create a daily “reset ritual”: light a candle, open a window, or play a 2-minute “vibe reset” song to refresh your space and your mind.
🌻 Start / Stop / Continue:
Start: Creating pockets of joy that make you want to show up (a colorful workspace, an ergonomic chair, a tech-free zone).
Stop: Tolerating chaotic or misaligned spaces that quietly stress your system.
Continue: Curating surroundings that reflect your inspiration, purpose, and peace.
Your space doesn't have to be perfect. Even the smallest shift can create big energetic returns.
Whether it's one organized drawer or one boundary between work and rest, your environment can become a powerful co-pilot in your well-being.
What’s one way your space supports you, or one shift you’re excited to make?
