Lovely to see you. Yes we do need to look holistically and that includes our personal environment too.😁

I feel I do not ever want to sell this house , sooo many memories back to the 1930`s

Places where we have felt loved hold special places in our hearts @Shaz51 .

Is there something we feel we could do to improve our environmental wellness?

I know there are things I could do. Loved how @FindingStrength directly mentioned our personal environment which @Scoo also referred to in her move from a toxic environment and @Shaz51 also alluded to in how her family home gives her warm feelings. I was starting to spend too much time on a YouTube channel that was negatively impacting my sleep and have had to be intentional in stopping this.

Decluttering our home environment has been an ongoing process for myself and @Shaz51 and if anyone else struggles with this we have a discussion thread on the forum Decluttering and home maintenance .

Being out in nature and doing something to contribute to it also lifts my spirits. Each time we walk the dog I see rubbish, sometimes broken glass and a small way I could help is by picking this up and putting it in the bin.

Hello @Former-Member , @FindingStrength , @Scoo

things that I have done to improve my environment wellness

1) have cut flowers in a vase in the kitchen ( when I remember to do so )

2) i put our small change in a container and when it full ,i go and bank it ( mr shaz is always surprised how much is in there

3) decluttering is good in the house and the yard and very helpful for mr shaz -- ( our place is not clean and spotless -- no way , but it is tidy )

to improve our environment wellness , yes i need to and want to do more as @FindingStrength has done

@Shaz51 @Former-Member @FindingStrength

I also pick rubbish up when I go for walks on our local beach. I always say hi to people on walks and sometimes stop to pat their dogs if friendly.
I love nice smelling candles in the home and light one most evenings.
I agree about the decluttering. I cleaned out a filing cabinet last week and put some clothes I no longer wear in a Vinnies clothing bin. I am becoming more of a minimalist nowadays. I started a tradition for my family a few years ago at Christmas. Instead of giving each other gifts we each make a donation to a charity, then on Christmas Day we talk about the charity that we chose. Santa still comes to children in the family and they get a gift 🎄🎁
