The Environment Audit

No matter what colours you choose, your environment is not neutral. The colours on your walls, the quality of your light, whether your bedroom feels like a sanctuary or a storage unit, these things are doing something to you, all the time. This episode, we're exploring Category 5 of the Joy First Audit: Environment. I scored reasonably high on this one (as I guess you'd probably expect) but then.... we found a leak in our downstairs closet, so all the floors have come up, and we've been living with industrial-sized dehumidifiers and fans running at full volume for weeks. We've just been told they will have to remain another two weeks. Once again, perfect timing to be having this conversation. In this episode, I'm exploring what happens to your sense of self when your environment is in chaos, some quick fixes to create more of the feelings you want in your spaces, and why 'aesthetic' isn't just superficial. KEY TAKEAWAYS • The five environmental factors that most consistently affect mood and nervous system regulation (according to research) • Why the colour of your walls, your light quality, and even the clutter level in your space matter more than we give them credit for • The 'What should I pick' dilemma, and the one question to answer first to get what you want in the spaces you get to choose • What the Joy First Audit's 'Environment' category is really asking, and how to use your score as a starting point for adding more joy to your spaces TAKE THE AUDIT Take the full Joy First Audit on Substack: https://joyfirstworld.substack.com/p/the-joy-first-audit EXPLORE MORE: Take the Colour Personality Quiz: https://go.jnicholesmith.com/quiz Learn about Colour Joy (free when you become a founding member on Substack): https://joyfirstworld.substack.com/p/getting-started-with-colour-joy-1 CTA If this episode resonated, please share it with someone who you know will love it too 🧡 This is how together, we'll spark the #joyfirstrevolution Hosted on Acast.
