9 Environmental Tips to Help Lift Depression
The Pastoral Counseling class I’ve been taking has some great information. I.e. Tomorrow we’ll hear more, but the prof said (and I can agree) that our environment can affect our moods.
Here are some simple things that can make a difference regarding depression:
-
Get some plants
-
Invite an animal to live with you
-
Put pictures on the wall
-
Declutter
-
Keep a tidy home
-
Listen to only uplifting music
-
Allow for some times of silence
-
Do what it takes to make you feel safe in your home
-
Write Scripture or encouraging quotes on the bathroom mirror
I don’t have any live plants in my house because if I did, I’d make them depressed. 🙂
However, the other 8 ideas are things I’ve done or am doing. (Although I don’t do all of them well.) In fact, if I want to feel sorry for myself (which will lead me into depression), all I have to do is listen to and sing with sad songs, fill my days/nights with constant sound, and messy up the place.
