When we are grieving nothing appeals to us and our empty home just highlights our loneliness.
Sprucing up our home by making little changes can lighten our outlook on life. A soothing space also allows you to be more creative and happy.
I found that having a messy house made me more anxious, like I had a lot of unfinished things I should be doing. So now I'm cleaning up before I go out - a made bed makes me feel happier????
Painting my rooms in warmer colors also makes me feel better and I find it calming.
Another great idea to try out is building a vision board of things that I want to see and do that has positive energy attached to them.
Don't do a lot of changes at once because that can just add to your stress. Planning is half the fun so enjoy making your home happier one project at a time.
