There’s nothing quite like coming home after a busy day and settling into a nice comfy spot. We all have that favorite chair or that place on the couch where the cushion sinks in just right. Getting settled and finding your “comfort zone” is an essential daily practice. When you miss it, you know it. But what if you could get more out of these moments of serene mindfulness? There are small things you can do around the home to enhance a soothing and restoring environment. Think about setting the right music or diffusing a calming essential oil blend. It’s all about giving yourself what you need to find harmony.
Create Balance with Lighting
Establishing a soothing environment after a long day starts with lighting. Set the scene with softer, warmer light. If you work in an office or traditional workplace setting, you’re probably inundated with bright, fluorescent lighting all day long. The last thing you want to do is come home to more bright, white, or blue-tinted light. It can have a stimulating effect, which you want to avoid when your goal is to wind down and find harmony. Instead of keeping the lights on as you wind down, take a step back in time and turn the lights off completely. Instead, light candles—as many as you need to fill your space with a warm glow. The flickering yellow glow of candlelight creates an atmosphere ideal for bringing the day to a peaceful close.
Find Harmony with Essential Oil Blends
Before you settle into your favorite chair, the next thing you can do is diffuse select essential oil blends. Why blends? They offer more complex aromas that can help you create that ideal restoring environment. You can make your own blends with premium frankincense essential oil or find premade blends that bring together your favorite soothing aromas. Think scents that bring together the aromas of a lush forest—fresh, woody, and coniferous. Or scents that evoke a sense of peace—herbaceous and flowery. Of course, which essential oil blends you choose are entirely up to you. As you put together a comforting environment, any aromas that match the atmosphere you intend to create are perfect.
Tie it All Together with the Right Soundtrack
We can’t forget about the music! When creating a soothing and restoring environment at home, it can all come together with music. Sometimes we’ll turn on the TV and stream our favorite shows or scroll through our social media feeds before going to bed, but these can have a stimulating effect—which is the opposite of soothing. So, skip the TV, social media, or anything else that puts you in front of the glowing screen. Creating the ideal soothing environment means putting electronic distractions to the side. Throw on some lo-fi beats or any tunes that help you reach your center. Finally, settle into your favorite chair or that spot on the couch, and let the candles, the essential oil blends, and your soothing sounds take you to where you want to go.
