Do not put any distracting electronic device (laptop, smartphones, tv, etc.) to that specific area of your house. Put fresh blooms to accentuate your room. This corner of the house can also be a perfect place for meditation. Research shows that meditation can not only curb stress levels but also make your more compassionate.
- Greening your shelter – Sprucing up your home with plants can lower blood pressure and stress-hormone levels. The leaves of the plant can act as natural filters, stripping pollutants and allergens from indoor air. A study shows that one plant inside your home can purify up to 100 square feet of air. Choose aloe vera, spider plants or peace lilies in greening your home.

You may utilize orange or lemon peels or naturally scented soap to sprinkle some good scent.
- Find your rhythm – Match your soundtrack to the mood you want when you are at home. If you desire to have some quiet time, listening to peaceful rhythm encourages relaxation.
