Did you go over your books? I mean did you think of how you had accomplished and fulfilled your last year’s resolutions, the decisions you had taken?
Did you really fulfill them? Or did you find out that they had just remained words?
Whatever your results, please take a moment and make a commitment. I would like you to take some decisions on how you are going to treat yourself.
On how you are going to treat our planet.
Yes, I said planet. You can do a lot to preserve it. It is the year in which you should be very careful about it. What do you think you can do to help our separation of the garbage. Paper on one side, plastic on another, glass on a third side, metals on a forth side. You may even find more items to separate. Maybe that in your community you will find containers for the various kinds of waste.
Something else: Be careful with how you buy your food stuff. When you buy, for example, bananas, you can take them home just as they are. Whatever can be carried without paperbags or other envelopments, is a contribution to a better place.
Don’t buy plastic cups and dishes. They cannot be re-used and are therefore anti-ecological.
When you can walk as the distance is short, please do it. Walking is good for your health and preserves the air. Every person who leave their car at home, contribute to a better quality of the air.
Use public transportation where available.
Don’t buy magazines you do’t really need or read.So many trees are cut that could be preserved.
A part from the contribution to our planet’s health, you also save money. Very often, one does not think of this, but if you add all the waste in your daily life, you will see that, if you are more conscious in your habits, you may save a bunch of money. For yourself but also for the community.
If you take into consideration these few resolutions that are so helpful, you will agree that they do not cost you anything. They will make you feel better about yourself. This turns out to be of help for your anxiety. Feeling better about oneself, is a big contribution to mental health. You see, you can improve your life by living more consciously. Isn’t this wonderful?
You can make a list of what you are going to change in your daily life and what will contribute to the betterment of our planet’s health. It is a question of responsibility
We are all invited to do our part. Thanks for your help.

More about environment. It not only affects your mental health but also your physical health.Depending on what part of the environment you are talking about, it can have a great impact.
Let us talk about the wider environment. I mean about the pollution. Not only the air pollution with fine particles. There are other sources that cause pollution. Like the noise. Noise caused by all sorts of things. Like cars. Like airplanes. Like music boxes. Not all music is really good for your ears. If it is too loud, it will affect your health. Maybe it does not only affect your ears and your capacity to hear properly.
It can affect your nervous system. And it will then certainly affect your overall health. It is just a question of decibles. You do not need to turn up your speakers to full volume in order to listen to music. You may have heard that the ears of most young people are already compromised. You can preserve your ears if you listen to music at a low volume, just at a level that you can hear it but not more.
Obviously, you cannot do a lot about noises that are produced by cars and airplanes, by engines that you do not operate yourself. You may be able to reduce their influence by wearing a protection.
As far as air pollution is concerned, you can avoid the one you produce yourself. That is by reducing heating. by using carefully your fireplace. By using your car only when you cannot walk or take a public transportation means. This is a big issue. Many people use their cars to go around the block. They pollute the air and consume energy. that could be used in a better way.
Pollution does not end here. There are other means that are polluted. And there are other ways in which that affects your health.
Think of the news. Most of it is useless. It does not do anything else than pollute your mind. By polluting your mind, it affects your health.
As you may know, your body and your mind are connected. They are actually one thing. They are energy. The body is a denser energy than your mind but they exchange their energies on certain levels. If your mind is polluted by the negative news you read or hear every day, you also pollute your body. Be therefore careful in what you want to hear and what you want to see. You can do a lot about avoiding pollution. You just have to think about it and choose the right things that will not affect your health negatively .
