FIVE WAYS YOU CAN MAKE ANY SPACE RELAXING
While working from working from home can reduce stress, eliminate commute time and let you stay in your jammies or sweats all day, many of us are working longer, harder, and taking less breaks. Whether you relax in your living room or bed room or den, at the end of the day you need to let it go. Here are five ways to create a space that allows you to separate from the work day and relax.
Tip one: Don’t bring work into your relax zone! Don’t let your work day seep into every space in your house you will never be able to put it away in your mind.
Tip two: Declutter. Remove all stacks of mail, old bills, dirty clothes and shoes from the floor. Having a tidy space will give your mind a chance to unwind instead of thinking about chores that need to be done.
Tip three: Add something organic like a plant or cut flowers. Not only plants and flowers beautiful, but they boost oxygen in your home. Yes, even cut flowers breath out ten times more oxygen then they absorb!
Tip four: Add some lavender, jasmine or vanilla in scented candles or a diffuser with essential oils. Aromatherapy has been around since the Egyptians and these scents are known for their calming effects.
Tip five: Color has an effect on your mood. Painting your walls in shades blue, green, purple or neutral tones can help you feel relaxed. If you don’t have time to paint, adding pillows, throw blankets, art and accessories in a relaxing color will do the trick.
