I'm your host, Katie Jefcoat, and I was talking to my friend, Jenna, about this series that I'm doing with you about physical space and clutter, and how that contributes to our happiness or unhappiness. She was all about it, I have to say she was actually really talking about some great ideas that she has that she does to create happiness in her physical space. 

 

She agreed that I could share them with you to inspire you to maybe think about this as you're creating your physical space. So she, like most of us, is all about no clutter in our space, and to really have our desk organized. She thinks that when your space is organized, your mind is calmer. And she talked about that a lot. We talked about it together. And I think she's right. I feel so much better. 

 

These are the things that she told me she does to help her physical space, not feel so overwhelming. First, she makes her bed every single morning. So making her bed makes everything seem calmer. Physical spaces, less cluttered, more tidy, such a good idea, right. And then she told me about this Maya Angelou doll that she has, it's a Barbie. It's a Maya Angelou Barbie. She has it at her desk. She works for a toy company. And so she has a lot of these kinds of trinkets at her desk. It makes her happy, because she knows Maya's story, Maya's achievements and it inspires her to continue to do the work that she does. 

 

I just thought that was so interesting to have this Maya Angelou doll, this Barbie doll that really inspires my friend, Jenna to continue to create all of this abundance and greatness in the world. So maybe there's something like that that you want to highlight. Once you dig out from all of the clutter and all of the piles of paper. I don't know. 

 

She also said that color matters to her. Her color is yellow, and she has yellow around her office and in her home office, because it makes her happy. The color makes her happy and that's enough for her. 

 

So I'm just curious if you have anything in your physical space that makes you happy and if you would share it with us. We're over @everydayhappinesswithkatie on social media and we can't wait to hear about your physical space.
