Throughout the day there are many moments of tension, at work, with friends, with your partner or with the children, which added to the concerns of life can throw your entire emotional balance out of control and make you a nervous person. irritable and stressed. To counteract all this burden of anxiety, your home should be the haven of peace you need and the place where you can restore your psychological balance after a hard day. However, most of the time, your home is the closest thing to a battlefield.
Start with yourself
- Whether you live with your partner, are still at home with your parents, or have your own children, it is important that you get a few minutes a day of peace and quiet to dedicate to yourself, to reflect on your successes of the day and, why not, about your mistakes. Observe it from a certain distance, as a spectator of your own life so that you can be more objective.
- In those minutes alone with yourself, assess what are those things that have made you feel good throughout the day and what have caused you negative thoughts, sadness, failure, disappointment or discomfort. Think of ways to turn all that negativity into something positive, such as how to do better next time or how not to be swayed by other people’s comments.
- As far as possible, try to find in your house all those things that make you happy and you can feel like you are in a refuge away from the world. And since it is your refuge, you are responsible for creating a relaxed environment with good energy that allows you to work on your emotional balance. Whether it is taking a bath, lying on the sofa or doing what motivates you the most, such as painting, playing the guitar or knitting, allow yourself to continue developing your inner self and your happiness despite the daily rush.
Family truce
- But we know that most days when we get home we find a panorama capable of getting on everyone’s nerves. Your mother who won’t stop talking asking you how your day has been when all you want is to disappear as soon as possible under a foam bath, while your father sourly reminds you of the last incident with his car.
- If you have children, the thing can be open war for school tasks, bathrooms, disorder and continuous screaming. And even if you live alone with your partner, you are not guaranteed peace of mind at home, because any tension can end in an argument and slamming doors. Whatever the situation, point out the need that you all have to live together in a more relaxed environment and propose a family truce.
- Make a proposal to your family so that everyone can enjoy their own moment of tranquility and that everyone respects each other. Keep in mind that the calmer you show yourself, the more tranquility you will inspire in others, so little by little, and in a smiling, friendly and calm tone, you will be able to convince your whole family to participate in those moments of your own in which nobody bothers to nobody.
