Q1) Consider your living environment (school,work,or home).List three environmental factors that can increase your stress levels.How can you make each factor less stressful? Answer: 1) Noise: Excessive noise in the living environment can increase stress levels. To make this factor less stressful, one can use noise-cancelling headphones or earplugs to block out the noise, or designate a quiet area in the environment where one can retreat to for some peace and quiet.
2) Clutter: A cluttered living environment can also contribute to stress. To make this factor less stressful, one can declutter and organize the space, creating a more calming and orderly environment. Implementing a regular cleaning and organizing routine can also help to maintain a clutter-free space.
3) Lack of natural light: A lack of natural light in the living environment can negatively impact mood and increase stress levels. To make this factor less stressful, one can open curtains and blinds to let in natural light, or incorporate artificial lighting that mimics natural light. Spending time outdoors or bringing in plants can also help to increase exposure to natural light and improve the overall environment.
