Stress Relief At Home

While it's easy to take stress home, there are ways to make your living space feel as safe and calming as possible. Follow these quick tips to make your home better for your mental health.

Declutter.
Studies have shown that people who live with less clutter are more productive and experience less stress. Putting everything in its proper place maximizes the tranquility you experience in your home.

Give every room some love.
If you've been closing the door on an unfinished or unorganized room, think again! Your mind subconsciously categorizes this as a task left undone. Do what you can to make the space something you're proud of.

Get some anxiety-alleviating plants.
Plants with anti-anxiety benefits include jasmine, lavender, rosemary and aloe vera. Don't have a green thumb? Try a lavender-scented candle.

Unplug.
Learn how unplugging can help you recharge, and make a mini digital detox part of your everyday routine.

Surround yourself with positive memories.
Make sure every photo and souvenir on display in your space makes you happy. If something doesn't, throw it out or tuck it away.
