Clean Your House
PURPOSE: Clean out the clutter in your home and you will feel lighter, calmer, accomplished and grounded. Focus on the classic saying, “Less is More.” Internalizing this motto challenges you to find satisfaction with fewer items and to reduce useless clutter.
Be An Artist
PURPOSE: Connect to your surroundings; see and observe things you may not have noticed before. Take time for yourself, be completely present, and appreciate where you are and the area where you live.
Change It Up
PURPOSE: Take a different route the next time you take a walk or go to the grocery store. In doing so, you’re increasing your awareness and appreciation of your surroundings, while broadening the scope of where you live.
Take a Load Off
PURPOSE: Get professional help to clean your house on those occasions when you have too much on your plate.
Safety First
PURPOSE: Take the necessary steps to make sure that your home is safe for you and anyone else who lives there. This doesn’t have to mean you need to invest in a full-blown security system, it can be as simple as routinely changing the garage door code or checking the alarms you do have.
A New Perspective
PURPOSE: Identify a room that needs a makeover – be it a new color, a new set of throw pillows or a furniture rearrangement. Warning: Updating one room will make you want to do more rooms... and that’s okay.
Something Similar
PURPOSE: Think about something that you love to do near your home and look for other people with similar interests to enjoy it with you. Expand on an activity/hobby that you already enjoy.
Declutter and Simplify
PURPOSE: Look around your house to determine what you can get rid of. This can be both an exhilarating and daunting task so break it down into bite-sized pieces so you can enjoy the ride as well as the outcome.
Landscape Love
PURPOSE: Build an inviting and colorful landscape in your yard to create a beautiful and peaceful oasis to drive up to, or to enjoy while relaxing in your back yard.
Build a Garden
PURPOSE: Build a garden for both the therapeutic and health benefits. Grow your own fruits and vegetables to cook with, increase your vitamin D intake from the sun (don’t forget your sunscreen), lower your stress levels, elevate your mood, and interact with other people through use of community gardens.
