Having a lot going on or nothing at all induce a lot of negative vibes we carry around with us throughout the day. Our home plays a big part in setting our mood. It’s where we start our day and where we escape to for rest and quiet from the busy world.

In some cases, the home can be a source of stress. We won’t be surprised if you said yours is one of those but even if it isn’t, these ideas would help transform your home closer into the oasis you need.

1. Bring in plants and other elements of nature.

Wood, leaves, and water instantly make an environment calming. Plants have the added benefit of being symbols of growth and inspire you to keep improving. If you feel stuck in a certain area in your life, get a potted plant for the room that stands for the area of life you want to be enhanced. Put one in the office for your career and another in your bedroom for better relationships.

 

2. Bring focus into your life.

One way to practice this daily is to avoid multitasking and alternate tasks. Multi-tasking produces the illusion of productivity. If it really did, then you would’ve felt more productive when you decide to take a break. It also interrupts your mood and keeps you from engaging in anything fully. For your home, arrange each section to have a center of focus.

 

3. Include Art!

It doesn’t have to expensive. To quote Marie Kondo, as long as it “sparks joy,” keep it! Place it somewhere you can easily view it and immediately lift your mood. Beautiful things have that effect. Use it as the centerpiece we were talking about.     

 

4. Create a space for meditation.

This doesn’t just mean the meditation practices we mentioned in our previous blogs. Designate an area for quiet contemplation. Engage in a spiritual practice that brings you inner peace. Position an item that reminds you of this peace, your identity, and your values as the focal point.

 

5. Incorporate crystals into your décor.

No two are exactly alike so you’re sure to always have a unique one. They’re also known to elevate atmospheres and boost areas of your life, depending on the kind of crystal. Just one crystal item and your home have a very elegant feel to it.

There are tons of other ways to bring peace into your home but every single one relies on one factor the most: you. Decide now to be committed to designing a tranquil aura in your home because milestones arise from the small changes.
