How to be Happier In Your Home


Listen Later

When we see images on pinterest and instagram, it can be a wonderful inspiration for future projects, we get ideas but there's a dark side to the social media. Sometimes we begin to hate our houses because they don't measure up.

Here are our tips to be content with your home and to make everyday life in your home a joy.

keep your house tidy

keep the clutter at bay
keep it picked up
start some new habits to keep it clean
clutter causes stress - bring every room back to 'ready'
make your bed
display some sentimental items or favorite collections around your home
Focus on things you can take with you, if you think you are moving, but there is no need to ignore your home if you are moving
think about the positives about your home, rather than the negatives. what drew you to it in the first place?
fix the things that are broken
make sure you have a comfortable mattress and seating
add beauty to your every day life. So if that kitchen sponge looks so gross you don't want to touch it, toss it!  get a new sponge
make sure you have some nice things to use for your daily routine
add a special area for relaxing, reading, a cup of tea or listening to music
use essential oils in your home
make your bedroom into a retreat
invite people over, entertain and have fun in your home
start a gratitude journal record a happy memory at the end of each day
don't have a temporary attitude about your home. Make it homey even if you don't plan to stay forever
don't compare your home with the ones you see on Pinterest and Instagram
replace an uncomfortable sofa or mattress
