5 Easy Ways to Turn Your Home Into a Stress Free Sanctuary
If you are a a mom you probably lead a busy life while juggling family, home and work.  Stress levels can lead to anxiety, fear, depression, and a variety of other health problems. One way to deal with this is to turn your home into a stress free sanctuary, especially, your bedroom.

Let in Natural Light

Fluorescent lights can be stressful on the eyes and brain. If your are able to open the blinds at work or bring in your own use bright natural lighting such as a lamp. Then turn off the florescent lights if you have your own office space. At home you can open the curtains and blinds to let in the sunshine. If possible, add skylights to your home.

I have found that opening the blinds and letting in the sunshine does wonders in the winter time. If I am lucky, I can even catch a few sun rays too.

    For me, scented candles are a great way of de-stressing. That and an ice cold beer. 🙂
