Do you believe your outside enviroment affects how you feel?

Question

For instance do you think room with bright hostile colors would affect your mental state? On a tangent do you think your room reflects you and who you are?

Answer 1

To some extent, yes. It is a subtle but real effect.

I don't know if my room reflects me, I'd need an objective opinion on that.

Answer 2

I believe we are walking photo cells and need the full spectrum of light. Colors enhance parts of the light spectrum. Some people believe in not having any metal in their homes that can bend and warp energy fields, such as a shiny chrome plate or bowl. I think we should have what we are attracted to. I love copper, and have copper colors through out my home, I feel it increases my own energies some how. We are each different so one color may not serve the same purpose as it would for another. But I believe it is universal to want to be around water, its sound as well as its movement as being an uplifting feel to our spirits. And to get a certain amount of sunlight each day.

Answer 3

Of course. Hospitals for years had their surgeries painted a soft green and Dr.s and Techs wore green scrubs because a soft green was found to be very calming. Any environment hostile to your senses affects you. Loud noises bother me because I have sensitive hearing. Bright light affects my nephew because his pupils cannot contract. As a person with senses, Im sure you are affected to some degree by some things.

Answer 4

I really feel for you. This is one of the hardest decisions a parent has to make and no matter which you choose, there will be doubts and feelings of guilt and second guessing. Still, if your son is not only not progressing, but instead regressing in spite of your best efforts, and his health care providers are suggesting this, it might be worth a try. 28 days is not really a lot of time in the grand scheme of his entire life. If this 28 days, or even a few months, can give him a foundation on which to build and progress, I'm sure you will find it worth it after all is said and done. Talk to his physician and psychiatrist and if he/she agrees with the nursing staff, I would give it careful consideration. If you choose to admit him for the period they suggest, use that time yourself to research, to find other treatments available and do all you can to find ways to help him. Talk to his health care providers about it and most of all... replentish yourself. Caring for a disabled person is draining at the best of times, it's moreso when that person is a child or loved one. Take special care

Answer 5

I would say most definitely YES to both questions.

For environment, look at places like Seattle. SAD, seasonal affective disorder, affects many people there who are not acclimatized to the winter drizzles. Depression goes up and so does the Suicide rate.

On the other question, you are what you eat and your choices of decor reflect what is in your head.

Answer 6

If you go out into the outside environment, it most assuredly will affect you. Whether physically or mentally. To your question about colors effecting your mental state it has been proven that it does. Human emotions are stimulated by color, music, and many other things, to numerous to use on this platform.

Answer 7

To be precise, if you are sensitive to colors and its effect, yes, they do affect you sensously. It may vary in degree between people based on their physco stability. But people in general are happy in looking at colors that are so beautiful and attractive as found in the nature! Colors in nature are generally not wild and their combination in ambience is sensitive to our mind, so the colors in your room too!

Answer 8

Yes I have seasonal affective disorder which gives me mild stints of depression-like symptoms. Its caused by a lack of sunlight, which is part of the environment. There is just one example so Im sure there could be many others.

Answer 9

Our beliefs control our emotional states. A belief that a colour is "hostile" will undoubtedly affect a person's experience while exposed to that colour.

Answer 10

Yes but the same environment effects differently to differently different people. I was at the beach this afternoon. Seeing women in short bikinis I was exited but my girlfriend was not that exited for some reason!!!
