Create a Calm and Clean House to Beat Stress

Thank author of this post/comment

Experiencing a calm and refreshing life should start at our homes. What we see inside our houses contribute to our moods and emotions so it is important for us to know how to create that serene place in our hearts. Here are some ways on how to make your home a relaxing haven to live on.

Houseplants are not only nice to look at but they can also help cleanse air, too. The money plant (Epipremnum aureum) is one of the best plants for clearing out air in the bedroom because it cleans formaldehyde and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) released by mattresses and other furnishings. Opening the windows for about 30 minutes a day can also help (unless you have allergies).

Clutter increases stress, collects dirt and dust, and places a deterrent on exercise (e.g. you can’t find your gym clothes). A study found that living in a messy house makes you more tired, and that exhaustion can boost the appetite-stimulating hormone cortisol to the point that it makes you consume an extra 500 to 1,000 calories a day. A bit of reorganization around your home can decrease your stress and will make you more likely to lose weight. How to start? Consider being philanthropic. Try to give away two items for every one new item that you purchase for your home. Also keep in mind that de-cluttering is similar to exercise. You can’t just do it once and get over with it. You have to do it regularly to achieve that sense of satisfaction.

Live in green. Growing some of your own food or even just looking at something green and growing has been found to decrease stress levels and other disease risks. You don’t have to transform into a full gardener to collect the benefits. No matter how big or small (e.g. a few containers of produce or a tub of rosemary on your kitchen windowsill), having living, green components inside or by your home lets you become more connected to Mother Earth.
