Thanks @Former-Member for sharing this, hoping I can join in on this discussion. I'm not sure if this fits within environmental wellness, or maybe across several of the 8 dimensions & is something that was once shared with me by a wise woman: That everything we absorb is "food" So the music we listen to, the movies we watch, books we read, things we wear & put on our skin etc etc. 

My thoughts: I guess our environment is also food & the type of environment = the type of food. I know I feel a lot better when I eat healthy things and listen to uplifting music and connect with some plants/animals.... So, I try to minimise the amount of 'junk' food & maximise the amount of 'health' food that I take in through all of my senses, including not being around certain places/people or watching violent movies etc...

Finances I find to be a tricky one & am often a juggling acrobat on that front. I try to affirm that I have enough for what we need. (Band U2 lyric from A Beautiful Day: What you don't have you don't need it now) and I try to live simply & be in nature as much as possible. 🙂
