My office, my home, my sanctuary.
You may spend more time at work than at home, sometimes we even eat at the office, and these days coffee vending machines are doing a lot of work.
Who hasn't placed a plant on their desk, or a family photo frame, or listened to music that makes them feel at home? Unconsciously, we take refuge in our home whenever we can.
We all want to come home after a long day at work, to a home where we can relax and enjoy a cozy atmosphere. You work hard to make your home reach that level of comfort that your physical and emotional health needs.
Just like your home, that office where you spend long days, you have gradually turned it into the pleasant, enjoyable and welcoming place that is your second home and where you can combine being a businessman with the great host that you become when you receive your guests.
5 objects that will make your office more sustainable and welcoming
If you look around your office, you will find that you need to have around you the same items that make up your home.
- Plants, if you are one of those people who likes and respects nature, pots In your office, you decorate your bookshelf with branches from that tree in the park that you can see from your window, which, in addition to creating a good atmosphere and improving the air, allows you to take a break to take care of it and connects you with the green of nature.
But if scientific studies also show that plants make workers happier and perform 15% better than in offices that do not have them, it is an item that should not be missing from your office.
- Music , bamboo and reed speakers that play that special melody that you like to help you concentrate, because there may be an infinite number of musical compositions but what is certain is that it cannot be missing.
You probably can't imagine a horror movie with the music of The Simpsons, or "Out of Africa" without a soundtrack , or perhaps the famous image of the Titanic with reggaeton music.
We don't need scientific studies to tell us that music awakens emotions. You listen to melancholic music when you're sad, Christmas carols, lullabies to sleep and any other music that adapts to the personal circumstances of the moment you find yourself in. There are several applications that make playlists for any situation, for cooking, for sleeping, for running, for work, there must be a reason.
But if this alone is not enough for you, you can take into account those studies that certify that music significantly improves motor and reasoning abilities. It activates both hemispheres of the brain and creates more connections between them, generating more intuitive, imaginative or creative functions.
