[#club100] The Importance of Protecting the Environment for Our Health

All steemians friends, very happy to be able to join this steem-environment community and be able to share knowledge, experience and get new knowledge from all of you. This is very useful in our efforts to create a comfortable and good environment for all of us.

A comfortable environment is the dream of all of us, where as humans we instinctively like beauty, comfort and a conducive atmosphere. Comfort itself includes two aspects, namely physical comfort such as temperature and others and also aspects of psychological comfort which is a visual image captured by each individual. This is very important so that we get good mental health, which from various research shows that there is a relationship between individual physical and mental health. Individuals with medical complaints indicate that there are psychological problems up to mental disorders and vice versa, individuals with mental disorders also indicates a disturbance in his physical function.

We can make various efforts to create this comfortable atmosphere in our daily lives, both in private and public places. In public places such as public roads, offices, and other public facilities, this gets special attention and is a bonus and even an attraction for consumers which will certainly provide profits for the manager of the place or business. Even public facilities such as hospitals make this a special concern.

On Monday yesterday I visited the Cut Mutia General Hospital located on Jalan Medan-B.Aceh Buketrata Lhokseumawe to visit one of our elders in the Hapkido Organization in North Aceh Regency namely the Chairperson of the Hapkido Branch of North Aceh Regency who had a stroke and is being treated there. I personally haven't been to Cut Mutia Hospital for a long time. Previously, I had an unpleasant impression when I visited this hospital a few years ago. The atmosphere was uncomfortable with the hospital conditions such as being poorly maintained and various other shortcomings. The last time I visited this hospital was in 2004 when my uncle was being treated there, and finally he died in the hospital. After that, we often took our family for treatment or hospitalization to a private hospital in the city of Lhokseumawe with various considerations.

I had a very different impression when I visited Cut Mutia Hospital last Monday. Cut Mutia Hospital looks more comfortable. Hospitals are better organized. In the hospital yard, it is planted with various trees and flowers that give a beautiful impression. The cool atmosphere can reduce the impression of being haunted and spooky as a place for sick people and even people to die. Overall the hospital atmosphere is much better and more comfortable than a few years ago, when at that time it was only used by the lower class who had no other alternative for treatment or hospitalization, while those with less funds would prefer private hospitals for hospitalization.

The hospital management's efforts to improve hospital conditions have yielded results and have received appreciation from various parties, including people who are satisfied with hospital services and facilities. It can be understood that when patients and their families get a comfortable friendly impression from the hospital along with all the positive impressions, it will make the patient recover faster and the patient's family who takes care of sick family members will also be more comfortable and have power hold on to it. We often find that when we finish taking care of sick people, they even get sick because of fatigue and other side effects.

A comfortable atmosphere is also needed in our daily lives to reduce or eliminate the stress we experience due to various conditions that we experience both at work and at home because every individual who Life cannot be separated from stress in daily life. Although some people feel that stress helps them to be more enthusiastic at work, but there are also those who state that stress prevents them from developing themselves.

To reduce the effects of this stress we need to make adjustments to stress which is an individual response in a certain way to the type of stress they experience. Each Each individual has different ways of adjusting to various stresses that are influenced by various factors such as abilities (intelligence, creativity, emotional intelligence), environmental influences, education, and how to develop themselves and a person's age.

In this regard, I personally do not escape from work conditions and workloads that sometimes create “stressful” conditions that I must manage properly so as not to reduce my productivity or my health condition. I carry out my hobby of exercising and also try to make my home atmosphere as comfortable as possible because I spend most of my daily time at home other than at the office. For that I design and build my own fish pond because my hobby is keeping fish. I also designed a small garden in front of my house which I planted with several kinds of flowers. Two years ago, when I was still the head of the field in the office that I have held since 2013, I felt a fairly high workload that made me easily tired and didn't feel fresh, but by running this hobby I was able to neutralize all that. By spending time in front of the pond or planting trees, flowers or vegetables, I feel more comfortable, especially when last year I decided to resign from my position as head of the division and switch to a functional position, I can enjoy my life more with my family. This can be seen from my posts about my daily activities which are not far from activities in the fish pond and also my hobby of planting flowers and trees and vegetables.

Based on this experience, I have personally felt the importance of a comfortable and conducive environment for our health that we can work on in our homes and in other places.
