Engage Your Senses to Relax at Home

When I create a calm, relaxing environment in the office, I consider the effect on all of your senses.  Try these tips to engage your sense while relaxing at home.
 
Smell
 – Clear out cooking and other smells.  Add lavender, ylang ylang, chamomile, citrus, or whichever scent you find relaxing.  I prefer essential oils but use whatever you like.  Keep it subtle.
Sound – Shut out loud & distracting noises, turn off your phone and the TV.  Add a fountain or some white noise, and top it off with relaxing music.  Try “Spa” or “Chill” on XM.  Or plug “massage” or “spa” into Pandora to get started.
 
Touch – The softness and warmth of a cozy throw, heated blanket, or down comforter can help you relax.  The warm water of a bath or hot tub also works great.
 
Sight – Turn off bright lights.  Add soft lighting from lamps or candles.  Scented candles can do double duty.   Or if any light is distracting, try an eye pillow.
 
Taste – Garlic bread with lunch?  Brush your teeth to get rid of strong, distracting flavors.
