DE-STRESS YOUR SPACE - Part 2

Create space - Our anxiety builds in small spaces if there's too much stuff. To reduce the clutter and make rooms feel larger, ask yourself if you really need all those end tables or picture frames, and cut anything deemed nonessential.  Consider painting a table or bookshelf the same or similar color as the wall it's up against so it "disappears" into it.  Painting walls white or a light color will also make a smaller room feel more spacious.

DE-STRESS YOUR SPACE - Part 1

Here's a good reason to do some low-cost decorating -- the choices you make can result in enhanced mood and less stress.

Organize daily debris - If you see old papers on the floor and bags of Goodwill donations waiting to be dropped off, you're going to think obligation, not relaxation.  Have a designated place for every item that enters and exits your space.  Try putting containers near the front door, one for outgoing items and one for incoming things.
