In my perfect life, I reflect on country and sea living, my homes warm and clean, and I am reminded by how important our physical 
environment is to our sense of well-being.
The weather in our area has turned from pretty late summer stretch to crisp fall days. The clear blue sky sharply contrasts the gold, read and green of the leaves
And inside my home, the kids complain about being cold.
The thermostat in my dining room reads 19 degrees Celsius. I informed my son that if he was outside, and it was 19 degrees, he would have shorts on. Instead, he is sporting warm pants and a sweatshirt, cuddled in a blanket while he watches television. And he is complaining and stressed.
I could turn on the furnace, warm the room up to 21 degrees and he would be content.
A couple of degrees of change and his attitude would change. A change in locale, inside vs. outside, and his behaviour would change.
Small changes in our physical environment can change a lot.
What in your environment is adding to your stress? What could you change that would bring about a change in your behaviour? Start small. Adding a cozy throw can add to your comfort. Emptying a box of clutter can lighten your attitude.
Start creating an environment that encourages perfect moments and a perfect life. Make your environment perfect and you will adapt to it perfectly.
