Let’s talk about motivational stationery!
Picture this. You slept through your alarm. When you wake up, you realize you overslept and immediately start to panic. Your day isn’t off to a great start. You head into the kitchen to brew a cup of coffee. You take your coffee back to your desk and sit down. Your planner cover reads, “You got this!” You open up your bright-colored notebooks and bust out your favorite pens. You’re surrounded by inspirational words of wisdom that light your heart on fire! You settle in and get to work, and thanks to your workspace, the rest of the day goes better than the way your morning started. At the end of the day, you put away all of your motivational stationery items and look forward to using them again tomorrow.
For as long as I can remember, I’ve been a firm believer in the idea that our environment has a large effect on our energy, routines, productivity, and our ability to accomplish our goals. In my life, I’ve felt the impact of creating spaces conducive to positive thoughts play out both personally and professionally.
I’ve also been mildly obsessed with stationery and office supplies ever since I was a kid. Notebooks, pens, pencils, prints, sticky notes – you name it.
I love surrounding myself with motivational and inspirational quotes and accessories. Perhaps my love for these products stems, in part, from a belief in the Law of Attraction. Or maybe it’s because most motivational and inspirational products are undeniably visually appealing.
Either way, if you’re into harnessing the power of surrounding yourself with good vibes or love an Insta-worthy desk setup, you’re in luck! Here are 10 brands to shop for a motivating and positive workspace.
