Description
In this class, you will learn how environmental design influences not just your emotions but your actions, shaping the habits that define your everyday life. Despite our dependence on willpower, it is the 'automatic' actions, born of repeated behaviours known as habits, that frequently dictate our actions.
Harness the potential of your surroundings to nurture positive habits or be aware of how they can unknowingly breed negative ones. For instance, maintaining an active lifestyle is significantly harder in a space primed for rest and relaxation.
In this course, you'll learn:
Cutting-edge scientific insights on the power of environmental design
Understanding habits and how they impact your identity
Techniques to design your home for greater efficiency and mental clarity
Strategies for creating a home environment that encourages:
a) Healthy eating habits
b) Regular physical activity
c) Quality time with loved ones
d) Pursuing your passions
e) Recycling practices
What you do again and again, or don't do, can add up to good or bad results. People who are very disciplined aren't always the ones with unbreakable determination. Instead, they are often the ones who cleverly adjust their surroundings to avoid temptations. Keeping up with good habits isn't about strong self-control but about planning your space wisely in advance.
