Declutter your space
A cluttered home can lead to a cluttered mind. Take the time to declutter your space, getting rid of any unnecessary items that may be causing stress or anxiety. If you find it hard to rid yourself of some items, corral them. There's power is a catch-all or bin that gives random items a home.

Bring the Outdoors In
Adding plants to your home not only promotes relaxation, but it also helps to purify the air. Consider adding some low-maintenance plants to your space to filter out toxins like formaldehyde, benzene, and xylene. Some house plant favorites are snake plant, peace lily, aloe vera, and Boston ferns. Additionally, don't forget the power of an open window. If you live in an area that has clean air, open a window and let the gauzy curtains billow in the breeze.
Set Boundaries
Setting boundaries in your home can help you feel more relaxed and in control. Create designated spaces for work and relaxation. Establish specific times when you can disconnect from technology. Honor this by creating a "tech drawer" or phone home. This is where you can allow your technology to charge but away until next time.
