Your home should be your personal oasis. Home is somewhere you feel safe and most like yourself. Perhaps, like me, your home is full of clutter toys cat toys things that aren’t exactly precious and yet aren’t going anywhere anytime soon. The solution? Create little pockets of peacefulness for yourself.
Select a corner that won’t be taken over by activity. Add personal touches that fill you with peaceful feelings – a candle, a photo, your journal, a seashell or stone, a quote you like in a simple frame. Go the extra mile to bring in touches that make the space feel cozy to you – a soft blanket or rug perhaps. See if you can add elements of calm like soft music or a small water fountain. Add what feels right to you. This is your personal space.
You can use your corner of calm to sit quietly, to meditate, to knit, or to read. Even just walking by and glancing at your space can cause you to feel peaceful, knowing that you have given yourself a place for rest. And at least once a week, take the time out to use your new space.

I love sitting in these two living room spots with a book or my laptop.
I have the same chair in the bedroom with a reading lamp. I also read in bed obsessively.

Please let us all know in the comments what you’re up to this month! Send me a photo of your corner of calm and I’ll compile them to share mid-month to inspire us onward. Have fun with it. 🙂
If you have ideas for other monthly prompts in the Soulful Home series, I’m all ears.
