Very Good Prompts & Reminders @Shaz51
Sensor Lights are a Must in my Suburb.
They definitely work as a Deterrent to Burglars.
Burglar made sure he disabled my Sensor Light 1st, my climbing up onto Wheelie Bin & Pulling Light Globe out of Socket - Before breaking into my Car (in Carport).
Because obviously he or she did not wish to be seen doing it.
The Sensor Lights are Very Bright, & they're triggered my any movement in front of them.
My neighbour has installed a Camera - So that anyone who comes to her house gets to be on "Candid Camera" (Video).
After my house was thoroughly Burgled (they took everything), years ago - I had a House Alarm installed.
Thankfully I have not been Burgled again, since then.
Yes some Colour & new Furnishings would help - My Living Space is rather Bleak, with nothing very appealing to the eye.
More Decluttering is in order too....

For me, to have a productive environment for my mental health, I must have sound as the top priority before visual, touch, smell or taste. I find my emotions connect with sound, such as music or birds, waves etc.
When I was young, I used to run around in the local bush a lot, and I have fond memories of listening to the magpies sing, the crows yelling for mark or budgies chirping.
I find visuals or smell at around the same level but i can tolerate a 70's kitchen if the music that gets my toes tapping is being played. A lack of sound or industrial sounds like cars, machinery, planes or helicopters may not be in front of my brain, but I have recently discovered that this upsets my subconscious more and this leads to anxiety as my brain tries to cope with all these unnatural and disturbing sounds.
I don't have many memories from being young around cooking so certain cooking smells don't put me at ease.. it definitely sound that centers me.
