Choose an area of your home to be your de-stress or meditation area. This is the place you come to at the end of a long day when you just want to shut out the noise and distractions from your mind and enter quiet relaxation. This can be indoors or outdoors, in a bedroom or outside on your patio. It can be any place you choose.
The area should be large enough to stretch and get into a comfortable seated position. A few large pillows make a great sitting area, and they can be stashed away when you don’t need them, unlike bulky furniture.
Make a daily habit of meditating for 10 minutes every morning before you go about your day. At first, you may not notice much of a difference. But as time goes on, you will start to wake refreshed and ready for the day with a new perspective on life.
Stress is bad for your health. Over time, stress may contribute to serious health problems such as high blood pressure, diabetes, heart disease, depression, and anxiety. Living a more zen lifestyle and creating a stress-free zone in your home will help you be more relaxed, calm, and able to handle life’s ups and downs.
