Additional Consideration
Stress Management topics known to reduce stress and improve learning
- Deep Breathing (Use of the breathing pattern 4-7-8, repeated three times will calm those that use it. 4-7-8 refers to breathing in for four seconds, holding that breath for seven seconds, and exhaling for eight seconds. This pattern will disrupt negative thought patterns and set the emotions on neutral.)
- Color schemes (Blues and greens have a calming effect, but mostly blue)
- Sound (Baroque music, primal sounds from water, birds, waves, wind)
- Scent (lavender, sandalwood, vanilla - calming affects)
- Lighting (1:3 ratio between height of windows and depth of room)
- Room arrangement (FENG SHUI)
- Brain Breaks
