Create an Inspiring Workspace: Tips for Decluttering

Featured

I recently listened to a YouTube clip by Dr. Joe Dispenza called “5 Things to Eliminate from Your Home Immediately.” He talked about how your environment affects your energy and your life—even if you don’t realize it. One point that really struck me was about holding onto things that no longer serve you. He said it’s like keeping a museum of your past self—and that holding on can actually block you from growing into who you meant to become. That really resonated with me and made complete sense.

With that in mind, I’ve been on a bit of a mission to reorganize and declutter my home—starting with my office and art studio. Letting go of items I no longer want or use has been incredibly energizing. It feels so good to clear space and make room for new energy and inspiration to flow in.

Your workspace should be more than just a place to check things off your to-do list. It’s your creative zone—a space that fuels focus, calm, and inspiration. Whether you’re making art, writing, or working from home, the environment around you plays a powerful role in shaping your mood, mindset, and productivity.

Designing your dream workspace doesn’t have to be a big renovation project. Start with intention. What colors lift your spirits? Do you love a clean, minimalist look or a cozy, collected vibe? Maybe it’s a sunny corner, a favorite candle, or just having your art supplies within easy reach that makes the space feel right for you.

Don’t forget about comfort and flow—a supportive chair, natural light, and a layout that works with how you move through your day can make a world of difference. Personal touches like plants, quotes, or your own artwork can infuse the space with your personality and make it feel truly yours.

I’ve noticed that when my space feels good, my ideas flow better. Even just clearing off a surface or rearranging a few things can bring a surprising burst of creative energy.

So take a few minutes today to reflect on your space—what’s one small thing you could add, change, or remove to bring it closer to your dream setup?

Thoughtful Thursday: Stay Cozy and Productive This Winter

Winter can sometimes feel like a time to slow down, but it’s also a great opportunity to stay motivated and productive. Here are a few tips to keep your momentum going during the colder months:

  1. Embrace the Cozy Vibes: The long evenings and chilly weather are perfect for creating a cozy workspace. Light a candle (apple pumpkin pie scent anyone?) and wrap yourself in a soft blanket while you work on your projects. The warmth will help keep you focused and inspired.
  2. Set Small, Achievable Goals: With the days shorter, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. Break tasks into smaller, manageable steps. Celebrate the little victories along the way, and you’ll stay motivated without the pressure of big, looming goals.
  3. Stay Active: Whether it’s a winter walk, a yoga session, or a dance break, staying active will keep your energy up. Exercise releases endorphins that help lift your mood and boost motivation.
  4. Keep a Routine: Even when the weather is gloomy, maintaining a routine can help create structure and a sense of accomplishment. Set regular times for work, rest, and self-care.
  5. Find Winter-Inspired Inspiration: Winter offers a unique beauty—use it as inspiration! Whether through winter photography, art, or just taking time to appreciate the season, draw from the world around you to fuel your creativity.

Winter doesn’t have to be a time of hibernation; it’s a season full of cozy opportunities to stay productive and motivated. By creating a warm, inspiring environment, setting small goals, staying active, and embracing the beauty of winter, you can make the most of the season. Remember, motivation is about balance—taking care of yourself while still pushing forward. Here’s to staying cozy and productive this winter!

I hope these winter tips inspired you! Thanks so much for stopping by!
