In today's fast paced life, the average modern person spends most of his time outside his house. Working, meeting people or running other personal errands. But, what if we spend more time at our houses? What if they are so much fun to be in? Can things change?
Home is the physical and emotional space in which someone is safe, nurtured and having fun. Staying at home can lift one's feelings of serenity and simplicity. We can be more relaxed and at-ease. We can connect more often with the ones we love.
At our homes, we escape the noise of the city and nosy people (hhhh). We disconnect from the crazy rhythm of modern life and live a rhythm we choose more consciously.
In this article, I propose 5 ideas to help the average modern person spend memorable and joyful times at his house
1. Have your own corner
Whether you're living alone or with someone, have your own space. It's the corner you go to when you want to be on your own to relax, forget about everything and everyone and just do whatever you want. It's known that when you're there you are to be left alone. Go often to that corner. Make a mini home inside your home.
2. Do your favourite activities at home
Do things that cheer your soul up. Turn the music on and loud. Dance. Cook and eat your favourite food, or order from your best restaurant. Write. Read. Sing. Work-out. Do some of the things you love, at home. Create happy memories and keep them in the corners of your house.
3. Grow a loving environment
Go around the house, to check on your family members. Say hello, chat, joke, serve them cups of tea or coffee. Be there to create joyful moments. Cultivate a sense of happiness and kindness. This is what a home is all about, in its simplest and truest forms.
4. Make it beautiful
We are naturally attracted to beauty. Have your house decorated the way you like. Have art pieces, paintings, furniture, etc... that help you feel like spending more time enjoying them
5. Invite your friends over
"Where are we meeting?" The answer is usually some cafe or restaurant.
The next time you're meeting someone you love, try to invite them over. Friends' gatherings at each other's homes have a lot more love, simplicity and joy than meetings outside in some cafe/ restaurant. People can be themselves more، and so the connections become more sincere and honest.
One's home is nothing but a reflection of this safe, loving and enlightened space that God instilled in each of us. Let's make that Space alive and more vibrant with more happiness in our homes, with the ones we love the most.
God Bless Our Homes
