Creating a calming environment can lower stress levels from "summary" of The Stress-Proof Brain by Melanie Greenberg

One powerful way to reduce stress is to create a calming environment. When we are surrounded by chaos and clutter, our minds tend to feel overwhelmed and anxious. On the other hand, when we are in a space that is tidy, organized, and peaceful, our bodies and brains can relax. This is because our external environment has a direct impact on our internal state. When we intentionally design our surroundings to promote relaxation and tranquility, we are sending a signal to our brains that it is safe to unwind. This can help to lower our stress levels and bring a sense of calm to our minds. Simple changes like decluttering our living space, incorporating soothing colors and natural elements, and adding soft lighting can all contribute to creating a more peaceful atmosphere. In addition to the physical environment, we can also cultivate a calming internal environment through practices like mindfulness and meditation. By learning to focus on the present moment and let go of worries about the past or future, we can train our brains to be less reactive to stressors. This can help us to approach challenging situations with a greater sense of calm and clarity.
  1. Creating a calming environment is a powerful tool for reducing stress and promoting overall well-being. By taking the time to cultivate a space that supports relaxation and tranquility, we can help our brains to better cope with the demands of daily life. This is an important aspect of building resilience and developing a stress-proof brain.
