淺談「空間心理學」HOW YOUR LIVING SPACE AFFECTS YOUR MENTAL HEALTH

簡單調整居家環境，讓身心更加舒暢 Adjusting  your sorroundings can make you feel better

清除雜物 承認吧：維持乾淨的生活空間並不容易。

不知怎麼回事，東西就是會愈堆愈多；而這個問題牽涉到的不只是美感而已。

堆滿雜物不只看起來很不美觀，也會讓你感覺很糟糕。

堆滿雜物的房間既透露出壓力，還會造成壓力。

雜亂無章可能顯示出你因為太忙而無暇整理，但是看到雜亂的環境也會造成更多壓力。

整理其實不需花上一整天的時間—只要十或十五分鐘把一些東西收拾好；你將會很驚訝自己的感覺居然變得這麼好。

聰明選色

生活周遭的用色風格不只被動反映出個人色彩偏好；還會主動影響心情，甚至是心理健康。

選擇能營造寧靜氛圍的色彩也是一種療法。

讓周遭環境有益於心理健康的方式有無限多種。

你可以擺放家人好友的照片，或是貼出別人鼓勵你、表達他們有多愛你的字條短箋。

只要記得：周圍的事物能讓你「甜蜜的家」更加甜蜜。

Declutter

Let's all admit it: We have trouble keeping our space clean. Somehow stuff just tends to pile up. But this problem involves more than just aesthetics. It doesn't just look terrible; it makes you feel 25 terrible. A cluttered room both reveals stress and causes stress. Disorder can indicate that you're too busy to keep things tidy, but then looking at a mess can lead to more stress. Straightening up doesn't have to take all day - just take 10 or 15 minutes and put a few things away. You'll be surprised how much better you'll feel.

Choose colors wisely

The color palette of your environment does more than passively reflect your

color preferences. It also has an active influence on your mood and even your

mental health. Choosing colors that create a calm atmosphere can be a type

of therapy.

The sky is the limit to ways you can make your environment conducive to good mental health. You could put up photos of your family and friends or post encouraging notes from people that show how much they love you. Just remember:

Your surroundings can make your "home sweet home" even sweeter.
