We've been stuck at home at some point and it has affected our coping mechanism; our ability to manage stress. Life is hard outside the home, but we've also proven that life could be more stressful when on home quarantine given some restrictions.
Not everyone may like to stay at home for a long period or the work-from-home setup may not work for them. However, we can always find solutions on how to make our lives more comfortable and less stressful when there's no boundary between work-life balance.
During this pandemic, our home becomes a sanctuary for wellness. We can make it more livable and create a wellness hub for the entire family that aids in the healing and restoration of health and vitality.
Home gardening is one of the fun and healthy activities that can beautify our home environment. It purifies the air at home and gives off oxygen that we need for a stronger respiratory function.
There are good ornamental plants we can grow at home that filters air impurities. This makes our little sanctuary more breathable and less toxic as compared to our real workplace outside the home.
Flowering plants also makes us feel good. It gives us happiness which is vital for our mental health. Being happy is a positive state of mind. We can't be feeling sad when we're stuck at home. What we can do is shift our mindset to be on the positive side. A simple fresh flower on a center table can elevate our mood giving a pleasant emotion and a clear mind.
We can also transform a specific place at home where we can spend some time relaxing and rejuvenating. Our balconies and roof deck are one example where we can convert to a little nature at home. It feels great to have a conversation while having a cup of coffee as we are surrounded by flowers and plants in our little sanctuary.
Life has to move on despite the pandemic. We may be spending more time at home, but we can choose to live a quality life. Wellness at home is a lifestyle that we can adopt towards our goal of a healthy body and a happy life.
This year 2022 is about our commitment to a healthier body and mind, so we can achieve the success and fulfillment that we truly deserve for life.
