Bolster your mental health and find a home that promotes mindfulness
Homebuyers in Dubai are increasingly seeking living spaces that boost their mental health. In the wake of the pandemic, the connection between home and managing stress levels has put a premium on looking for communities where people can seamlessly live, work and interact.
Recent studies have highlighted elevated global stress levels due to economic and social challenges as of late. Additionally, an always-on work culture, a younger population that is always on their devices, and unrealistic work expectations are some of the top reasons for this chronic stress.
While there are more environmental factors known to contribute, certain elements can further impact our ability to adjust to our surroundings and cope with stress. The most notable environmental factor that can influence mental health is your home. Multiple studies have shown the connections between living spaces and the effects on mental health through prominent aspects including the layout aesthetics of a house, the familiarity of an environment, interactions with other people, and the culture and values of an environment.
Call to action
Today the emphasis is no longer on physical health alone, but psychological wellbeing. The World Health Organisation in their recent report urged all countries to accelerate their implementation of the comprehensive mental health action plan 2013–2030, where they call on all stakeholders to work together and reshape environments that influence mental health, including homes, communities, schools, workplaces, health care services, and natural environments.
Understanding this movement, property operators and developers in the UAE are giving more attention to features that incorporate nature, which is known to reduce stress and promote mental peace. Places that allow residents to recharge, such as meditation courtyards with reflecting pools or rooms equipped with ergonomic cushions, gardens, and parks with walking and biking trails, are in high demand. Homebuyers in the UAE are increasingly pursuing thoughtful layouts and wellness-focused amenities.
Meanwhile, energy-efficient buildings also have a positive impact on our mental health, in addition to environmental benefits. Energy-efficient buildings mean lower energy bills, which help reduce financial anxiety. This awareness has led to a surge in demand for living spaces that aim to enhance positive emotions while minimising negative reactions.
