Your Physical Environment
This is the ninth and final in a series of M.A.D. Moments based on different areas of your life to inspire you or give you that boost at the start of the year.
Spring definitely seems to have arrived here in the UK, we've had some lovely warm sunny days and now is a good time to think about this particular topic.
How do you currently feel about your physical environment?
Where we live and work can have a great influence on how we feel and how productive we are. If things aren’t as you want or need them you can get frustrated and de-motivated.
Particularly in your work environment, making sure that your office or wherever you work is a place where you can feel inspired and motivated, a place where you have everything around you that you need. You don’t need to work in a totally neat and uncluttered environment but if you’re always sifting through piles of paper to find things, lose things, have piles of unpaid bills or overdue accounts then perhaps you need to put some systems in place to get organised, become more productive and happier in your work.
What you come home to has an important effect on how you feel day to day. If you’ve got lots of unfinished jobs around the house or you’re not happy with where or how you live, look at what you could do to change it. Make sure you have a place where you can relax and unwind and take a few quiet moments to yourself – whether this is your living room, bedroom or even the garden.
This also applies to how you look and feel about yourself. Are your clothes neat, tidy and fit you well – no cupboard full of clothes you used to be able to get into or might ‘one day’. Is the physical environment of your body as you want it and as you want others to see you? If not, see my previous posts on Health.

What difference could you make to your Environment this week?
Little and often – whether it’s filing, cleaning or doing the garden – just a few minutes each day can make a big difference to your environment so that jobs don’t pile up and get out of hand. If you’d rather not clean the house on a regular basis or do the gardening – why not pay someone a couple of times a week to do it for you. Not only will it give you more time but you’ll be able to relax and enjoy it that much more.

How do you currently feel about your physical environment?
- Do you have a clean and tidy office and home?
- Is your home a place you enjoy and look forward to spending time in?
- Are there things in your environment you’re tolerating (unfinished jobs)?
- Does your work environment inspire and motivate you?

What difference could you make to your Environment this week?
- Pick one outstanding task around the house and aim to do it by the end of the week – that long outstanding job. If there’s something about your home you’re not happy with – resolve this week to do something about it. Maybe you’ve been meaning to redecorate, get rid of an old piece of furniture, clear the clutter or treat yourself to something new. Do It.
- What do you have in your work environment that would make a difference to the way you work – perhaps getting rid of things you no longer use – bringing in simple things like organiser files, or trays and folders to sort your work. Have a clear space to work so you don’t feel overwhelmed by the things around you.
- Put things away after you’ve finished using them or that you don’t immediately need – this applies both to your office and around the house.
