Take a few moments to look at your home decor and see if there’s anything that might be getting in the way of the good vibes.
Pay attention to how you feel when you enter the house. Is it an environment that inspires you? Or do you have a bad feeling that makes you feel down? If you identify more with the second option, then perhaps it’s time to consider the decor and organization of your home. It’s amazing, but experts say these things can have a huge impact on your day-to-day emotions. Here’s what to look out for:
1. Books you no longer like
Books have a great emotional charge. They usually transport us to other worlds, and the ones we read at particular moments in our lives have an even greater load of feelings. But, if you don’t intend to reread or consult them, and if you don’t even like some of the books you keep anymore, donate them, pass them on.
2. Collections that no longer bring joy
A collection of any object takes up space and takes some work to organize and clean. It also usually reminds people — sometimes it’s even a legacy — that they may no longer be in your life. Getting rid of objects doesn’t mean getting rid of memories of the moments they provided.
3. No longer practiced hobby items
You may have thought at some point in your life that it would be great to knit as a hobby. She bought everything she needed, but years later she hasn’t even knitted a scarf. And all the items just sat there in the closet, taking up space and gathering dust. This generates a sense of guilt and anxiety for not having gone ahead – and having spent so much money – in the business.
4. Heavy curtains
Heavy, dusty fabrics are not a good choice for curtains. Choose light fabrics that allow a certain amount of light to pass through. The environment will be brighter and fresher and this will greatly affect the way you feel.
5. Wrong colors
Colors affect your mood. We know that warm colors like red and orange are uplifting, blue and green are more relaxing, and gray and beige are neutral. But it’s also important to choose a color that you like, rather than opting for a hue just because it’s trendy.
6. Broken things
Every time you open the closet you come across that broken vintage cup that was left to fix and so far nothing… The accumulation of broken things can mean difficulty letting go, fear of letting things go. This generates a large block of energy and a sense of guilt in the face of a task (fixing the object) that you should have done and didn’t do.
7. That pile of old papers
The greatest despair that a pile of paper causes is the mystery that exists there. It is not known if there are important papers, documents, invoices, travel souvenirs, old recipes… This type of hoarding also generates anxiety, stress and shows difficulty in letting go of old memories.
