Posting photos of loved ones, relaxing places, a vacation you've been on or destinations you want to go to also can provide a much needed mental break from stressful situations.
It's easy to get lost in whatever is going on when you're at your desk. Looking at a pleasant picture temporarily takes you someplace else for a few moments.
Also fragrant fresh-cut flowers also can help you reduce stress, as can a memento from your childhood or gift from your child.
There are other benefits to having a personalized work space as well. Personal items can provide a great ice breaker in a potentially stressful meeting. Surrounding yourself with familiar items helps you enjoy your environment and boost your happiness.
