How can your environment affect mood and stress? It's really a question of "How do you feel about it?" The stress of seeing an unmade bed to one person may be of little concern to another.

It comes down to how it affects you.

Studies do show the way we perceive our environments carries into how we handle situations.

Which is easier?

• Coming home to a sink full of dirty dishes or a clean kitchen?
• Seeing an unmade bed, or seeing a disciplined room structure?
• A cluttered office desk or an organized desktop?

This isn't to say we all have the same standards, but it's important to know our environment affects how we react to situations. Is your environment productive or chaotic?

As always, thanks for listening!
