A comfortable environment is important to one’s overall physical, mental, emotional and spiritual health. This involves being in a physical space that allows you to achieve a state of physical and emotional ease, a feeling of safety and contentment, and ability to rest, or focus. Often, comfort can achieved be through privacy control, temperature control, external and internal light control, furnishing, bedding, and noise control.

  SELF EVALUATION

A comfortable environment allows for rejuvenation, innovation, creativity, and safe and healthy experiences. When our environment is uncomfortable, it can lead to a decline in health, work and relationships. Ask yourself: Do I know what makes me comfortable? What type of lighting do I enjoy? Do I have privacy? Do I feel safe? Do I like my furnishings? Are there smells or sounds that I enjoy that make me feel at ease?
