We are busier than ever. More time on the road commuting and increased office time are part of the issue. How to slow our fast paced lives, leave the frenzy and relax? and really stop and smell the roses?

I have a few ideas to add relaxation and to make our homes more harmonious and peaceful at the end of a busy day.

• Take a walk if you can… with your family, dog or neighbor. Breathe.
• Sit in your favorite chair even for a short time (and plan to return later).
• Change into comfortable clothes.
• Check in with your famiy about their day, listen and support.
• Hopefully dinner isn’t an afterthought or is easily prepared and your family can pitch in. Enjoy some table talk and share stories.
• Clear the clutter. Clutter distracts, adds a feeling of disorder and uneasiness.
• Add freshly cut flowers to your weekly grocery list.
• Surround yourself with books, throw pillows and blankets.Create a space that looks and feels softer, calmer and more relaxing.
• Add a swing!
