Environment and our mind - What we need to know.

Environment has a huge impact on our life. Where we live, what we see, our surrounding everything shapes us. The connection may not very visible but we all can feel the link if we want. Environmental psychology explores the connection of humans with the world. It shows how we interlinked with the earth and how the earth shapes our minds. That's why we need to know some basic things so that we can save both the earth and us.

Let's talk about it!

Man-made environment creates stress in our life. Maybe human is not designed to be in man-made society. I'm not a researcher or any professional on this. But just think, we humans are experiencing high-rise apartments, cars, carbons, and everything very recently. It must have changed our minds, how we think and produce ideas.

I'm not saying the man-made world is bad but it has a negative impact by different researchers. But the stressful designs of urban space can influence human performance and activity, I think. City life is tiring, boring and stressful. What we are going through, how busy we are getting must-have creates an effect on our mental process. And these effects can't be positive.

Then, what can be the solution?

Well, I think nature has great healing power. We can use natural healing power in our life to feel less stress, to be in touch with nature and physically & mentally better. Environmental psychologists are trying to improve our city plan, architecture, and total urban planning. But it's also our duty to bring nature to our surroundings.

Indoor planting, rooftop gardening can bring a positive change. You will see, how refreshed we feel when we get to see greenery around us. Our environment supplies our energy, the power to think and produce. So we also take the responsibility to make it a better place!
