The power of nature
Scent can be seen as a mood booster. Have fresh plants and flowers around to provide a natural aromatherapy, which can make all the difference when you start to feel sluggish.

Shades of blue
The color blue evokes thoughts of peace, tranquility and serenity. Known to aid in reducing anxiety, as well as high blood pressure, the color of blue holds a great power in your overall well-being.

Stay cozy
Whether next to your fluffy, four-legged friend or curled up with a fun fuzzy throw pillow, research suggests that interacting with pleasant textures stimulates the mind and reduces negativity.

Easy on the eyes
Limiting the amount of pattern you bring into your space helps create a calm environment. Too much clutter can be overwhelming, so let’s skip the polka dots and stick to solid colors.
