Your Surroundings Affect You Profoundly

Your surroundings have a profound effect on your state of being and wellness. 🌿🌇

According to research by Saxbe et al., the way we describe and experience our home environments is linked to our stress levels. In their study, people who viewed their homes as cluttered or unfinished showed higher levels of cortisol, the stress hormone, across the day. In contrast, those who experienced their homes as restorative spaces reported better mood and healthier stress patterns.

This explains why I always love to visit BNH Hospital 🏥 in Bangkok. It is a beautifully organised place, with a warm, homely feel. Ornate balconies, glistening chandeliers, clean and bright spaces, and, of course, the glowing smiles of all the nurses, doctors, pharmacists, and support staff make this a truly special place.

Our surroundings do not just reflect our state of mind. They can actively shape it too.

If you are an educator 👨‍🏫 or trainer who wants a simple way to make your lessons more engaging, then do this one thing: make your classroom look beautiful. This small change will immediately have a big impact.

... Read moreจากประสบการณ์ส่วนตัว ผมพบว่าการจัดสภาพแวดล้อมรอบตัวให้เป็นระเบียบและสวยงามมีผลต่อความรู้สึกและพลังงานในแต่ละวันอย่างชัดเจน สภาพแวดล้อมที่สะอาดและเป็นระเบียบไม่เพียงแต่ทำให้รู้สึกผ่อนคลาย ยังช่วยลดภาวะความเครียดได้จริงตามงานวิจัยที่แสดงว่าเรียกว่า 'ฮอร์โมนความเครียด' หรือน้ำตาลคอร์ติซอลจะลดลงเมื่อเราอยู่ในพื้นที่ที่รู้สึกสงบและปลอดโปร่ง ตัวอย่างที่เห็นได้ชัดคือโรงพยาบาล BNH ในกรุงเทพฯ ที่ถูกออกแบบให้มีบรรยากาศอบอุ่นและเป็นกันเอง มีแสงสว่าง ธรรมชาติ และการตกแต่งที่สวยงาม ส่งผลให้ผู้ป่วยและบุคลากรทางการแพทย์รู้สึกผ่อนคลายและมีกำลังใจมากขึ้น สำหรับครูหรือผู้ฝึกสอน การปรับเปลี่ยนห้องเรียนให้ดูสวยงามด้วยการจัดวางที่นั่งให้เหมาะสม แสงไฟเพียงพอ และการใช้สีสันหรือภาพประดับอย่างเหมาะสม สามารถช่วยสร้างบรรยากาศที่ ส่งเสริมการเรียนรู้และความตั้งใจของผู้เรียนได้อย่างมาก สิ่งสำคัญที่ผมอยากแนะนำคือ เราควรใส่ใจในรายละเอียดเล็ก ๆ น้อย ๆ ของสภาพแวดล้อมที่เราใช้ชีวิตอยู่ เพราะพลังของสิ่งรอบตัวมีผลต่อสุขภาพจิตและความสำเร็จในชีวิตประจำวันอย่างไม่อาจปฏิเสธได้ นอกจากนี้ยังมีเทคนิคง่าย ๆ อย่างการจัดระเบียบสิ่งของในบ้านหรือที่ทำงานเป็นประจำ การใส่ต้นไม้หรือของตกแต่งที่ปลุกพลังบวก เพื่อสร้างพื้นที่ที่ 'พร้อมดูแล' ตัวเองให้ดีขึ้นเรื่อย ๆ ทั้งกายใจและอารมณ์
