I moved out of a bad living situation recently. I'm much happier now.

Yep. Every time I've left a bad relationship. And not just the romantic ones, either.

I painted my bedroom, I did ombre on one wall, shades of pink. I've never had a really pink bedroom before. I love it, of course if there were ever a man in my life I might go more neutral. Possibly. For now I love it, It is very me.

I grow a garden every year. Pretty soon I'll germinate my seedlings indoors and set them out after the last frost. That's just good therapy!

My house was a suburban "greige" color. Painted it blue with white trim. Didn't get it approved by the HOA either. Stuck it to the Man that day for sure.

I moved to a little apartment on a lake after downsizing. What a beautiful shift in energy.

Yes I learnt how to say NO

Yes. I removed the toxic person from it. Quality of life = restored.

I retired from the Navy and moved to Texas. I’m not sure it was for the better.

Yes-@silvereyes-changed my environment 2 weeks ago-vacation of sorts lol

Yea! I hate cleaning but a clean house improves my mood immensely. Also I got myself a job working on the beach about a year ago. I've discovered that spending most of my day outside is a huge game changer.

Last year we covered many of our walls with photo murals, those rooms feel great now

Moving to Lopez (which wasn't my idea). It has made a huge difference in my finances (Seattle has become unaffordable for many), my self-sufficiency, independence (even when I was with a partner), my awe for nature and my community involvement and general satisfaction with life!

It’s only been about a week for me, but I feel drastically happier living alone. I fixed some lights, set up my stereo system, baby proofed and decluttered this last weekend. It’s awsome to live in a clean apartment and know it won’t be trashed when you get back. I get to use the furniture that I was forced to put into storage, and can remove the bad decorations my ex put up. I have a few more projects to remove my ex’s poor taste, but it’s almost all mine. I’m amazed how much space there is without all her cosmetics, and the bathroom no longer seems to grow a rug on the linoleum.

I bought a pair of Himalayan Salt Lamps, I put one in the living room and one in the bedroom. I do feel a bit calmer and notice I do sleep better. They are supposed to help with a lot of different things, plus they are just nice to look at.

Thanks to Trader Joe's and their awesome prices, I now make it a habit to buy potted flowering plants during the winter. I especially love hyacinths and their scent. I think it dramatically makes me feel less grey no matter what's going on outside.

I once had a client that was unreasonably demanding and my wife saw how stressed-out I was and introduced me to the concept of firing a troublesome client. For some reason it had never occurred to me that I had the right to say this isn't working for me, you need to find someone else to work with. I followed her advice and it was one of the best business decisions I ever made.

My wife had also applied this principle to extended family. She comes from a lot of dysfunction and was always the person trying to hold everything together. One day she realized no one gave a fig about this but her, so why was she doing it? It's been nice just watching the stress / anxiety bleed out of her after she made this decision.

I am very much affected by my environment. The location, how it feels and it's aesthetic appeal.

Yes - moving myself away from bitter winters , towards warmth and abundant wildlife !

it was my working environment and i took my boss to a tribunal, but the result was 'case not proven', what made it happy was that I got compensation and hightailed it out of there - I did actually see him again as a few years later , I was invited to his new place of work (by his college) to do a creative expressive therapy group - It was great ignoring him, and even greater that our group got on well together and laughed and cried a lot - something he could never manage, revenge is sweet!

6 pack of beer and a joint can have the desired effect especially on a sunny day

I second Kkgator. Leaving bad relationships behind...whether romantic, friend, or family. Another thing that makes a noticeable improvement to my happiness and well being is de-clutering. Having an open feel in every room makes me feel good. Feeding wild birds....and just doing things that my children and I like with our living spaces. Like lining the living room walls with alphabet flowers, bird numbers, making love bugs and attaching them to our bathrooms walls....so many things. Aquascaping my fish tanks. Gardening for sure. I used to run a community garden, and loved it.

YES.

I moved to Thailand in 2010...instant happiness!
The photo is of me at Samila Beach, Songkhla, Thailand

Oh yeah for over a year I habitated an apartment without furniture. just an air mattress and 2 tvs and 2 pc's. Ex wife started with the... oh is so pathetic... etc, etc, etc. So eventually I bought furniture, prints, posters, Made a Hollywood wall of female stars of yesterday's era. And my daughters took turns living with me because didn't have to pay rent. I was happy of my hollywood wall and of my wall murals one of the twin towers in NY and the other of a british phone booth in tropical beach. I even found a full mirror shaped as the door of the british phone booth. There were plants too. And an expensive $300 plus vase that broke in pieces first time it fell to the ground. Full bedroom etc, etc, etc... A whole bachelor pad. But I was just as happy when I didn't have any furniture. Only thing I kept is the hollywood wall and wall murals. It was just eye candy as far I was concerned. Gave it all to my daughters.
