Create a Refuge in Your Home

Home should be a place where you relax and unwind – not another source of stress and to-dos. Of course, we have things to do at home to maintain it, but if you have created a home that is full of clutter with projects that you keep meaning to do/fix all over the benches – this is not somewhere to relax. Assign a weekend and pull everything out of each room and pretend that you are moving house. In order to make decisions about what to keep – ensure that the things bring you happiness, beauty and/or utility. Anything that is broken or planned for later should be actioned within the next fortnight or recycled/donated/discarded. Anything that doesn’t bring beauty or regular utility should also be placed into one of these three categories. A simple and easy to clean home can bring a lot of peace and tranquillity – a refuge for your busy mind.
