Have you thought about how your holiday decorating affects
the environment? What can you do about your holiday
decorating to improve your happiness and at the same
time be kind to the environment?
The good news, taking action to decorate your home and
office for the holidays, while keeping respect for the
environment, makes your workload easier.
Conquer holiday stress with simplicity. Keep your decorations
to a minimum. Simple holiday decorating makes your life
easier to manage.
Simple decorating doesn't mean no impact. You can use
Environmental Psychology strategies to achieve a stunning
display with less work. At the same time, you can save
money on new holiday decorations.
Eignt Environmental Psychology Holiday Decorating Tips
1. Too many small items in a small space tire the eye
and overload the brain. Don't go over the top with holiday
decorations. Don't spend your money foolishly on a lot
of cluttering ornamentation.
2. Choose a few large holiday decorations to make a
bold statement. Bright and deep colors take up more
visual space.
3. Make a gorgeous framed note on parchment that says:
"We love the earth and choose to celebrate with nature."
4. Work with the holiday decorations you already have.
Renew tired ornaments with non-toxic craft paint.
5. Decorate with consumable food, like nuts, fresh fruit,
and cookies.
6. Decorate with Mother Nature. Cuttings of evergreens
bring respite to tired eyes and fresh aroma to enclosed
stale air.
7. Increase your office productivity and business prosperity.
When people feel happy, they accomplish more. Take a
tip from music therapy expert Enicia Fisher: Play easily-recognized
soft music without voices. This encourages signing or
humming to oneself to fill in the lyrics.
8. Instead of hanging lights all over your home, concentrate
on the front entry to attract the eye and make all feel
welcome.
Defeat holiday stress this year. Use holiday decorating
ideas that protect the environment and yourself.
Happy Holidays!
