Combat Stress by Creating Your Own Oasis

Stress and anxiety can prematurely age our mind and body.

If not dealt with effectively, chronic stress and worrying

can place undue strain upon our cardiovascular and immune

systems. It can also make us prone to mood disorders and

negatively affect our cognitive functions. Having a safe

and comfortable place where we can relax and unwind can help

improve our well-being and produce feelings of peace and

tranquility.

Ideally, creating an atmosphere that induces calmness

throughout your home is best. However, if space is limited,

you still can create your own oasis, even if it is in only a

corner of a room or in a cubical at work. Here are eight

easy ways to make your personal space a true comfort zone.

1. Tranquil Sounds. Your favorite music, sound machines and

water falls can help you relax and unwind. Sounds have the

ability to alter our perceptions and instantly change your

mood.

2. Living Plants. Live plants create a peaceful

atmosphere. They improve the ambiance and air quality of

indoor environments, and induce a positive energy around

them.

3. Soft Lighting. Soft and adjustable lighting can create

a soothing atmosphere. Look for light bulbs that are

bright, but not harsh. Being able to adjust the brightness

of your lighting will give you more control of the mood of

your space.

4. Pleasant Smells. A fresh and pleasant odor can

transport you to a peaceful place and time. Open a window

to get an exchange of air, use air purifiers or deodorizers

to create the scent you find most pleasing.

5. Furniture Arrangement. Place your furniture and other

items to best fit your daily needs and actions. Personalize

your space with things that bestow happy memories.

6. Comfortable Textures. Use pillows, throws and soft

materials to create a comfort zone. Our sense of touch has

a powerful impact upon our feelings.

7. Symbols of Nature. Bring the outdoors inside with

shells, rocks, feathers, wood, leaves, etc.

8. Answering Machine. When you need to unwind and

revitalize, turn your answering machine on and the volume

down. You can always return calls when you are recharged

and ready to talk.

Take control of your surroundings, whether they are just a

corner of a room or a desk at work. You can even use these

steps when traveling to help you unwind. By creating your

own personal oasis, you will be better able to relax and

rejuvenate. A few changes may be all that you need to make

yourself calm, peaceful, energized and inspired.
