Select a book that resonates with you, watch the shows on this topic on HGTV for ideas (if you are in the U.S. and have cable TV), or work with a specialist in creaturing nourishing home and/or work environments. Refer to your Environmental Self-Care self-assessment responses in The New IQ Integrity Makeover Workbook for information about the natural settings that nourish you most. Incorporate into your home and work environments as many features as you can from those natural environments. | N/A |

Info | Feng Shui (pronounced "fung shway") is the ancient Chinese art of energetically balancing physical spaces so they nourish all aspects of your life. Look for a book on this topic that resonates with you and/or hire a Feng Shui specialist for a consultation -- ask around because good word-of-mouth consultant recommendations tend to be preferable. | N/A |

| People Environments | Info | You will find an exercise in The New IQ Integrity Makeover Workbook showing you a simple way to determine who you might want to consider developing a closer relationship with and who you might want to become more distant with. If you have very few people on your list or if your scores in this exercise came out fairly low, it's time to expand your support system. If you don't know how to do that, seek the assistance of a personal coach, counselor or psychotherapist who can help you identify your basic temperament and help you create and implement a plan to build your support system based on your temperament. | Buy Now |
