Do you ever find yourself feeling completely cluttered and unorganized? I'm not just referring to the space around you; but your mind also. However, I believe these two things are in complete relation to one another and you may not even realize it.
When you sit down to relax at the end of a busy day, are you really relaxing or is your mind taking you to a million places and preventing you from completely letting go of the days events? I have personally struggled with this but have found some solutions that help me and I hope you can take these and implement them into your life as well.
I find that in order for my mind to relax, I need the space around me to foster that type of mind set. If my house is messy and unorganized, I can't just sit. I find myself thinking, "I should clean that up," or "I really need to get that put away." Take a couple minutes to do a quick sweep of the space around you; fold a blanket, take a cup into the kitchen, put your remotes in their place, organize your couch pillows and pick up toys if there are any.
I also try to do something each day that feeds my soul. Drinking a cup of coffee and seeking inspiration on Pinterest helps my motivation. I try to look at motivational quotes each morning to get myself in the mind-set I need for the day. You could read a chapter in the latest book you're reading, journal, do a little shopping, or get your nails done. Do whatever makes you happy!
Fresh flowers really have a way of making a space feel welcoming and calm. I try to keep a fresh vase of flowers in my workspace at home because I love the smell and the feeling they give me. You can do a fresh vase of spring flowers, or even a favorite plant of yours that brings some of the outdoors in.
Its fall here now, and I love a good smelling fall candle. Pick your favorite and put it somewhere in your home where you can watch it burn. The ambiance of a candle always makes me feel cozy and warm and helps my mind stay at ease.
Hopefully you can take some of these tips and apply them to your space to help foster a healthy mind and a happy life!
