Environment Inspiration:

SECURITY

Our thoughts, emotions, and sense of self are undeniably tied to our surroundings. Where we are and who we spend time with ultimately influence what we become. Recognizing the scenarios and situations that bring us the most fulfillment allows us to play a more active role in shaping our lives.

How does this connect with our desire to experience more security?

Create an environment for feeling secure.

Putting the time and effort into creating your ideal environment can encourage more feelings of calming certainty. You already recognize that you consistently seek out comfort and stability, only choosing to expand once you feel secure enough to do so. To experience intentional security, consider implementing new practices and routines to enhance your environment and surroundings.

HOME

Make the effort to nurture your most important environment—home. Current events have pushed many of us to spend more time at home than ever. Take the time to optimize this space that is now also often used for work and entertainment.

Experts in Feng Shui suggest that feeling safe and secure is of paramount importance to our wellness and performance.

Create stability with a 100% clutter-free home. This may sound daunting at first if you aren't used to it, but will ultimately keep you feeling more focused as your eyes and brain have less "information" to constantly process. The extra effort will be well worth it for more peace of mind.

WORK

Your ideal working environment likely has you working from a home office, at least part-time. You not only find commuting to be a waste of resources, but current events are keeping many professionals out of their offices.

This means that you'll need to implement clear boundaries between work and home life. Your dedication to feel secure may translate into burning the midnight oil, with a goal of providing for yourself and your family. Schedules can easily become muddled and all of a sudden, you'll find yourself working at your computer late into the night.

Not allowing ample time for rest can be detrimental to your health. You must come first.

COMMUNITY

Because you’ve always got a plan, you might have an unwillingness to take risks in life, including building new relationships. But, you don't want your need for certainty to limit your potential for new experiences.

Too much certainty can lead to boredom, and while we do need stability, we also crave the stimulation that variety brings. Consider ways to add even the smallest amounts of variety to your life, enjoying the rewards of process and growth.

A variety of virtual, online group meetups are now forming regularly, so consider joining one to not only connect with new humans but allow for opportunities to experience brand new life perspectives.

SELF

An environment that feels secure begins with the feelings you experience daily, so be rigid with your wellness routine by not allowing people or events to impose on your wellness plans. Sleep, exercise, and downtime are non-negotiable if you want to experience peace in every possible moment.

You may also enjoy learning from the title The Little Book of Hygge. Author Meik Wiking, who founded the world's first Happiness Research Institute in Denmark, explains that hygge (pronounced hoo-ga) can be translated into “the art of creating intimacy." This New York Times bestseller invites you to "become happier with this definitive guide to the Danish philosophy of comfort, togetherness, and well-being."
