Replace Clutter with Plainness

If you live in a cluttered environment at work or at home, remove the clutter and your Energy will go up by reducing your mental Distress.

Loose papers, junk, or anything else that makes the space appear less than clean and tidy should be thrown out or stored somewhere out of site.

Once you have a baseline established, get in the habit of removing any new clutter immediately so it doesn't build up.  Many people like to say they are organized in the midst of their junk and clutter.

 

They may think so; but much clutter in the physical is clutter in the mental.  Cluttered desk is a reflection of a cluttered mind.  Boost your energy and mental health by organizing your home and office.

 

Two pretty good books on how to become "decluttered" are The Definitive Guide for Home Organization for Busy People many of my colleges speak highly of this book – and the other is DeClutter Fast, many of my peers liked this book as well.

Move Around

Every morning do some physical movement. Even if it means just going out and taking a 15 minute walk or like I do in my building; I walk the stairs.

Also, every other hourly work break, do some mild physical exercise for a minute or two even if it's just stretching, jumping rope, or whatever you like. Just make sure you move and get your blood flowing.

You may look silly at work doing jumping-jacks or you may be labeled the office nut if you get out your desk and do 25 push-ups; but you'll also be the office over-achiever as well.

Over time, you'll want to increase the amount of exercise you perform as it is comfortable for you to do so.  It is amazing that these simple things will increase energy and alertness.

Take Full Responsibility

It doesn't matter whose fault it is AND it doesn't matter what caused it.

The only person who can make it better is you – if you accept that, you won't waste any energy on blame or anger.

If someone did you wrong, judge it dispassionately. I'm not saying let them roll over you and take advantage. Protect yourself from anything they can do in the future, but don't waste any time feeling sorry for yourself, being angry at them, or giving in to hopelessness.

Take responsibility yourself and your Energy will go way up and you'll have a healthier mental state.

And of course, the best way to take responsibility is to take action to improve the situation.

You may not a be a person who is use to taking full responsibility; the way to fix this is a little self talk.  When something happens, if you're use to saying, "that guy messed me up," or "that gal ruined my day by cutting me off in traffic and making me late to work;" change that and say, "it's my fault" or "it doesn't matter" and take action to fix the matter. 

Pretty simple right!

Doing a daily task list of things you must do every day will make this habit automatic.
