Tension is such a huge problem.
Both mental and physical tension can really wear a person down.
So, how do you create a tension relief sanctuary? Well, there are a number of ways.
First of all, identify the room of your house that you either do find most relaxing or would like to find most relaxing.
For most people it would be the bedroom.
However, some people find the living room relaxing and others enjoy relaxing in the bathroom in a hot bath.
Once you identify your room, it's time to turn it into your sanctuary.
To start with, eliminate unwanted noise, lights or sounds.
That means shutting windows and turning the ringer off on phones.
Although, you should make sure that you can still be reached in an extreme emergency.
The next step is to make sure that your sanctuary is clean.
Clutter only creates more stress.
So does dirt and general disorder.
So, you may even find that you need to paint or paper the room.
It all depends on the state of your sanctuary to begin with.
Finally, bring things into your sanctuary that you find relaxing.
That could be scented oils, candles, hobbies that you like to do (if your sanctuary isn't the bathroom) or anything else that you find calming, like pictures of family and friends.
Ultimately, it's your sanctuary.
So, only you can decide the best things to put in it, since each person finds different things relaxing.
However, these tips should get you started down the right path.
