Think about what changes in your environment would make you feel most at ease. Include:
- What it looks like
- How it sounds
- How it smells
Do what you can to make the necessary changes.
For example:
- Surround yourself with photos of family, friends and happy memories.
- Ask friends to close in a porch so you can sit indoors in the sun in the winter.
- Change the smell of your surroundings by putting out bowls of potpourri or dab essential oils on light bulbs.
- Change the color of the walls and/or bedding.
- Sounds, such as waves, can play in continuous loops.
You can get help making the changes from:
- Family and friends
- Religious and fraternal organizations to which you may belong
- Non profit organizations such as Dream Foundation, see: www.DreamFoundation.org
