Minimizing Environmental Stress - A Recap...

Our environment is an important contributor to our lifestyle. We looked at this in detail in our section on Environmental Stress. This article briefly recaps on the key points in that section.

 

Things that we could do to improve our environment included making sure that:

  • We have enough privacy when we need it, and enough social interaction when we want it;
  • Our furniture is designed well, is comfortable and properly adjusted;
  • Our space is well lit, and that light is not too dim, too bright or too direct;
  • Air quality is good and that it is free of hidden pollutants; and that
  • Our living and working environments are pleasant and well maintained.

We also looked at commutes between home and work, and how unpleasant these can be.

 

Part of living a healthy lifestyle is making sure that our environment is pleasant.

 

Another part is making sure that our life works as well as possible. If your living or working environment is bad, or you have a bad commute, then you can often improve your lifestyle by changing where you work or where you live.

Warning:
Stress can cause severe health problems and, in extreme cases, can cause death. While these stress management techniques have been shown to have a positive effect on reducing stress, they are for guidance only, and readers should take the advice of suitably qualified health professionals if they have any concerns over stress-related illnesses or if stress is causing significant or persistent unhappiness. Health professionals should also be consulted before any major change in diet or levels of exercise.
