Waking up and coming home, art and longevity
I once heard somewhere that having a tidy room when you wake up in the morning or return home after going out can greatly help regulate your autonomic nervous system.
The autonomic nervous system is very delicate, and it seems that even small things like this can help correct or prevent imbalances.
For this reason, I make it a habit to organize and tidy up before going to bed.
Although it may not be true for every cases, I feel that the art pieces each person is drawn to might also have this kind of "harmonizing" function.
Incidentally, there is research suggesting that engaging in art appreciation can extend one’s lifespan.
According to this research, people who regularly visit museums and galleries have a lower risk of premature death.
