  4. Step 4
     

    Keep your home always clean and fresh-smelling. A clean home is inviting and relaxing and makes a person want to stay rather than spend outside the home to relax.

    Install good lighting in all areas. This is not only to make your home bright and inviting, it also improves your mood since study shows that different lights induce different moods. Pick lights that induce positive vibes that makes you feel relax and comfortable.
