Don't you just love that first glance at a nice hotel room? It's simple, de-cluttered, no endless reminders of chores and to-do's.
Imagine a place just for you in your own home. Your 24-hour challenge is to (at least) begin to create that space.
A few tips to create a sanctuary uniquely yours:
Choose your spot - a quiet place with lighting that appeals to you. It doesn't have to be an entire room, a window seat or a corner of your office will work just fine.
Consider your interests - will you use it for reading? A comfy chair and lamp might be important. Will you use it to meditate? A large pillow, music, adjustable lighting and a place for a candle could be considered. Will you use it to journal? a small desk, then, a perfect pen and good lighting.
Create a visual separation - separate the space from the rest of the room with a panel divider, plants, large piece of furniture, or curtain.
Declutter - remove all unnecessary objects, remove all photographs, nothing in your sight line to remind you of chores or to-do's. Those things are for another time and place.
Set the mood - Your retreat can be light and airy, or dark and cozy. This space is all about you and what you find relaxing. You are looking for a sense of calm and relaxation. Think about what that means to you and create that for yourself. You deserve this!
5 senses - How can you use all of your senses to relax and rejuvenate in this space? Music, aromatherapy oils and/or scented candles, the softest of blankets, mood lighting, a stash of gourmet chocolates, surround yourself with relaxing colors -
blue: peaceful calm and stress reducing
green: restful and quiet
pink: tranquility and peace
white: clarity and freshness
violet: strength, peace and wisdom
grey: soothing - best when pared with blue or white
yellow: lively and energetic
This is a fun challenge and so worth your time - get started today!
