Ecopsychology Vs Environmental Mimicry : Define wellbeing ?

Ecology studies the  relationship between human beings and natural environmental through both ecological and psychological principles ( Eco psychology .info.com 2020). Eco psychology  applies ecological and psychological theories and research methodology to study the relationship between people and the natural world : The focus being on well being attainment . Eco psychology seeks to develop and understand ways of expanding the emotional connection between individuals and the natural environment ;there by assisting individuals  with developing sustainable lifestyles and premeditating alienation from nature itself . Eco psychology has its social and mental health foundation through positive psychology .and is experiencing rapid growth . For those who have never heard of positive psychology , its concepts stem from fostering in ones life a positive human functioning through scientific understanding that positive is more productive than despair  and ;that this attitude builds thriving individuals ,families and communities( ICE 2020)  Can eco psychology foster personalized medicine ? .Perhaps through environmental mimicry. Environmental mimicry  is a distinct branch of holistic interventions which may be primary ,secondary or Tertiary in nature . A good example of environmental mimicry is what I coined as ceasing the teachable moment ,This intervention was produced during the last decade .Its official term today is a "Nudge " .Let me explain the science behind Environmental mimicry . a Nudge is a gentle in obtrusive way of pushing people inthe right direction ;but this nudge must be performed by  individuals who hold expertise in Eco psychology or Ecology .It is the same as ceasing the teachable moment (www.WUR.nl 2020) This mechanism's of great importance to public health because it may assist in teaching climate change adaptation and particularly in Health prevention and promotion  . It is important to note that well being usually includes excellent financial acumen and a healthy lifestyle ;can eco psychology and or environmental mimicry assist in well being attainment ? Perhaps.
