- Key features that influence our everyday life.

Here are just a few of the ways your environment can affect you on a daily
basis:

Mood
Your surroundings have the power to dramatically influence your mood. This
can apply to color, décor, tidiness, and warm vs. cool elements in the room.
Pay attention to how certain colors make you feel, which ones provide
negative emotions and which ones make you feel calm, happy, and at ease.
A second factor that can affect your mood is the amount of décor you have in
each room. A space that feels cluttered with décor can make the room feel
small, whereas a room that lacks décor can feel empty. Finding the happy
balance between the two isn’t always easy, but doing so will help provide the
space with a sense of balance and harmony, allowing you to feel truly at ease
in your home.

Behavior and Motivation

When your mood is affected, your behavior, motivation, and drive, will also
be affected.
A great example of how your environment can affect motivation is tidiness. If
your environment is cluttered, you’re more likely to feed into the same
behavior and continue adding to the clutter, whereas if you’re in a clean, tidy
environment, you are more likely to be motivated to maintain it. It is human
nature to choose the path of least resistance. Pay attention to factors in your
environment that might be altering your motivation and drive, and work to
solve those issues to create a better home environment that makes you feel
happier and more energized.
Interaction with Others
Your dining room and living room are likely to be the spaces where this area
of impact is most prevalent . An area that is comfortable, inviting, and
pleasing to the eye will likely positively affect the mood of family members
and/or guests, facilitating conversation and interaction.

When someone is unfamiliar with your home, it’s harder to feel comfortable –
whereas you spend time in the space every day. Pleasing, calming color
choices for your living room and dining room, along with comfort elements
like throw pillows, throw blankets, a textured rug, plush seats on the dining
chairs, and some serene artwork are likely to make guests feel more
comfortable in a foreign space.

Stress Levels
Everyone has different triggers when it comes to stress. In your home, there
can be various sources of stress, some being conscious and some subconscious.
An example of a subconscious source of stress may be the color in any given
room. As mentioned previously, colors have an impact we don’t always
pinpoint right away. As you can see, your environment affects you in ways
you may not even realize.
