Being stressed out can be an everyday occurrence for lots of people.
But today we are going to share with you at least one antidote for that problem.
Since we at A Step Above Style value your time (and because you already know why you’re here) we’ll jump right in.
Let’s begin.
The Antidote
Peter Walsh (who was born and raised in Australia) has spent over 20 years working internationally with families to help them organize their homes and lives.
It is his belief that clutter is anything that stands in the way of people living their best life.
One of his most famous quotes is found below:
“Your home should be the antidote to stress, not the cause.”
Peter Walsh
Outside of our homes we can be stressed out by many things:
- Problems on the job
- A child struggling in school
- Bad news from the doctor’s office
- Political issues
- Etc.
Knowing this, our home should be a refuge from these things. So to have a cluttered home would only add to this list of stressors.
Positive changes to our homes include:
- Keeping our home clean and providing a “home” for every item
- Playing relaxing, positive music as opposed to music with a negative message (sad, violent,etc.)
- Putting up decorations with a positive messages (“Everyday is a good day” for example.
- Photos of meaningful occasions like your wedding, a child’s birth, etc.
- Clearing off the dinner table and using it only for eating (and not for storing unread mail)
Take time to consider what other things you could do to make your home be the source of peace as opposed to adding to your stress.
