Feng Shui is a Chinese system of harmonizing living beings with specific changes in the surrounding environment. Let’s start with your favorite place – you guessed it right – your home.
Destress Your Home With Feng Shui
#1. Clean home
Make sure your home is spotlessly clean. With a clean house, the energy of the home increases manifolds. Surely this will help you lessen stress, and you get to burn calories while you are sweeping your floor and vacuuming your carpets. Also, remove from the house things you no longer need. Donate them! The more the place is decluttered, the more it will help you relax better. Do not block your windows. Mirrors bring in a sense of freshness and soothe the house.
#2. Leave Running water somewhere in the house
The title may seem a little overwhelming, but it doesn’t mean you leave your bathroom tap running and flood your house. However, you can go for a small beautiful fountain in your bathroom or bedroom to create a calming effect. And yes, you will have a decorative piece your spouse will love to get as an Anniversary gift!
#3. Add essential oils to your home
You can scent your home with candles with lavender, rose, or sandalwood fragrances or put diffused oils around the house. Great help if you are not an everyday shower-taking person, your home and your surroundings will still smell good.
#4. Curtains
Curtains can give you privacy in your home from your neighbors and are a plus point to stress and tension. Using pastel and soft colors brightens your home and also brightens your mood. The fluidity of curtains compared to the rigid blinds lessens rigidity around and in you.
#5. Build Food Stock
Ditch your everyday lunch from the cart and cook something simple yet healthy and tasty. Stock up your kitchen with the ingredients that would encourage you to cook. Buy ingredients rather than buy food. You should have eatables to handle your cravings, alleviate your mood, or manage your hunger. It would be best if you had the energy to fight the negativity around you and in you. Better eat up!
So please list items you can eat any time of the day, including chocolates, and fill up your kitchen cupboard with your favorite ones. Do not let them expire, though!
#6. Add earth element to your home
No, I am not talking about getting a Globe in your house. Add some pottery to bring that earthy element to your abode.
Since the earth is a symbol of ground and calmness and helps both mind and body relax. Adding some earthy tones will help you destress. The plant is easy to maintain, symbolizes good luck, and adds to the earth’s elements.
#7. Symbols and Images
Putting that smiley magnet on your refrigerator would surely help. To decorate your lonely wall with family photos from your favorite vacation or photographs of nature. Everyone smiling is an added advantage.
You can use those pillars to put exciting quotes or paint them in attractive, soothing colors. The more colorful and smiling your surroundings will be, the same you will feel within them.
#8. Buddha presence
Buddha is considered to create a serene effect. Bring a Buddha painting or idol to your home. Place it somewhere in sight.
Conclusion:
Stress often leads you to follow negative paths in lifelike alcohol and drug abuse, insufficient exercise, and nutritional choices. You may be stressed if you face sleep disturbances, headaches, muscle aches, gastrointestinal problems, and fatigue! This could lead to nervousness, anxiety, mood swings, irritability, and depression.
Since we can help us destress our lives or help our close ones under Stress, why not give it a try and reap the benefits?
All the Feng Shui methods mentioned above do not take much of our time and effort to implement. The only thing required is our willpower because stress not just affects one individual under it but also others around that stressed person.
