Where You Live And Work Affects Your Self-esteem
Posted by admin, under Self Esteem
How you live is a picture you paint of yourself for not only the rest of the world but for you. Many people fail to realize that their immediate surroundings greatly affect their ability to feel good about themselves. Interior designers have known this for years and make their living off of designing spaces to affect the psychology of the people who will inhabit their designs.
In commercial applications, realize that it is no mistake that fast food restaurants are brightly colored and well lit. The goal is to get you in and out as quickly as possible and vivid colors and bright lighting make people uncomfortable other than for short periods of time. Contrast that with an expensive restaurant with rich colors, mood lighting and a staff who’s main goal is to get you to stay as long as possible to order more off the menu.
If you are interested in self improvement and want to begin on the easiest of base levels, consider the space that you live in. What does it say about you? Does it support positive feelings and reinforce the ideals that you hold for yourself? Or is it neglected, unkept and lacking in personal details?
As an interior designer for 22 years, I love to see what redesigning of personal spaces does for someone’s self esteem. People who don’t feel good about themselves rarely take an interest in where they live. When they do nurture their spaces they are nurturing themselves and I’ve seen people blossom in other areas of their lives when their homes remind them that they are important. It does not cost a lot to make the effort and it is often more supportive than the latest self-help books.
If you do not feel confident enough to get started on a self improvement program beginning with your home, consider contacting a professional designer who can help you with the mechanics of going from here to there successfully.
