Making Your Home Into A Peaceful Place To Stay
by 14 
Your home environment affects your overall well-being. It can either cause obstacles or breakthroughs. It can promote your health, or it can hinder it. Your home is more than just a place you sleep or eat. Your home is your haven, it’s your source of inspiration, and it’s a place you should be relaxed. It’s time to shape things up because if your home isn’t positively affecting you, it’s affecting you in a negative way. Here are some simple steps to take to turn it around.
Your Creativity
Your home will either impact or inhibit your creativity. Certain colors, patterns and fabrics influence our creative thinking. Colors affect our feelings and behaviors. These aspects of the home stimulate the right side of the brain, which is where creative thinking occurs. If you do not have things in the home that you like or that promote your happiness, your creativity will suffer. Take some time to explore colors that make you happy and relaxed. Choose fabrics and patterns that do the same.
Your Health
Your HVAC system does more than you think. HVAC stands for heating, ventilation and air conditioning. While many people focus on the heating and cooling aspect of their HVAC, they forget that adequate ventilation is a part of the equation. Some companies like HELP Plumbing, Heating, Cooling and Electric, know that dirty air ducts and filters can be major sources of dust and other allergens. Having these thoroughly cleaned is a step further from allergies, decreased immune systems, sicknesses and general malaise. Taking the time to get your HVAC into tip-top shape is worth the peace of mind.
Your Relaxation
Stress is responsible for approximately 80 percent of the diseases people have. Stress kills. The best way to ward off stress is to seek relaxation. While things like massage, spas and yoga certainly work, the home needs to be filled with things that promote relaxation constantly. For example, choose a bed that is comfortable to sleep in. Choose a chair that can be comfortably lounged in. Take time to have coffee in the morning while sitting in your favorite spot in the house without rushing yourself.
The world will always be the world—full of hectic chaos. The one place that you should absolutely “feel at home” is in your home. Take some time and enjoy your home. No matter how big or how small it is. It’s yours, and it’s the one place you can recharge and renew—if it’s set up the way you want it.
