Add Positive Energy to Your Home

Your home should be a place that radiates positive energy, love, and warmth. With the uncertainty of the economy and stress of life it's nice to come home to a place that helps you maintain a positive attitude.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Keep your home clean.

    Do a quick pick up of your home each night before bed including cleaning up dishes and food from dinner. Waking up to a clean home each morning will give you a sense of organization and calmness. It will also give you the flexibility of welcoming friends and family into the home on a whim.

  2. Step 2

    Keep your home free of clutter.

    Having a few nice items in your house is better than having many items that you can't maintain. Store items that you don't use every day in a closet or drawer.

  3. Step 3

    Add unexpected surprises to areas of your home that lack energy-such as the linen closets, laundry room, and garage.

    Seeing pictures of your friends and family or a cute decoration will help you keep places that can harbor disorganization clean and will bring a smile to your face when you use them.

  4. Step 4

    Have living things in your home.

    Plants and animals add warmth and love to a home. Studies link petting an animal to lowering the stress level in the owner as well as other health related benefits.

  5. Step 5

    Keep your home free of noxious smells.

    Memory is closely linked to smell.

    A home of freshly baked foods or pleasantly scented candles evokes positive memories.

  6. Step 6

    Hang pictures of loved ones on the wall.

    Surrounding yourself with loved ones will remind you of how much you are cared about in good times and bad.

  7. Step 7

    Keep your home full of light. Open the blinds during the day and let natural light pour in.

  8. Step 8

    Have bright accents.

    Bright colors evoke positive energetic feelings.

    Many studies have been done linking colors to emotions.

  9. Step 9

    Fix things that are broken. Take care of the things you have.

  10. Step 10

    Use Feng Shui tips to add positive energy to your home. See Ehow's articles on Feng Shui for specific details.
