Get Filled Up

“You work in an office that leaves you feeling drained. Here's how to get filled up.”

There are a lot of reasons your workplace can deflate you. Just being in an office with no windows, the flicker of florescent lights can leave you feeling gray and unmotivated. On your breaks, getting outside can lift your spirits. Another trick is to feel some ownership in your space. Can you bring a little lamp with a bright shade? With the new energy-efficient bulbs it can use as little as 3 watts of power so it won't add to your employer's overhead too much. Don't forget a plant, pictures of your family, and a personal piece of art if possible. The best, if you can listen to music that you enjoy, you'll really start to feel energized. Talk to your boss and see what you can do to feel more motivated and more productive - something she/he shouldn't have a problem with.
