Feel that stress is beginning to take over you? It's time to take matters into your own hands - especially if you are a needlewoman! We transform the house and home wardrobe with Burda.

Every day we are faced with working problems, household chores and tasks that cannot be solved on their own without our participation. Few of us are able to live and work in the terminator mode without running out of breath, and meanwhile, chronic fatigue and emotional burnout are not just terms, but a reality that everyone runs the risk of, if he does not think in time about how to replenish energy reserves and peace of mind.

It is absolutely not necessary to spend a huge amount of money on trips to spas, because you can create an oasis of relaxation at home by connecting your creative skills. Let's start in order!

1. Atmosphere

In the art of self-relaxation, the right atmosphere plays an extremely important role. Coming home, you should feel that you are in a cozy and native space, absolutely convenient and comfortable for you. Even if you live in a rented apartment, you can create such an atmosphere with your own hands.

Aromatherapy

It's no secret that smells affect us, causing associations, calming or, conversely, reassuring. Aromatherapy is fast, easy and relatively inexpensive, because essential oils can be bought in the range of 60-300 rubles, and you can use them in different ways. For example, with their help, you can scent things in a closet, and in addition, you can make scented candles with those scents that work best for you.

You can read more about making candles with your own hands in our special master class:


DIY candles: a master class and 12 ideas


If you wish, you can buy ready-made candles, now you can find candles even with unusual smells, for example, fresh pastry.

Also, do not forget about such a simple but effective thing, like aromatic pads and sachets. They can be either laid out in a closet and chest of drawers, or put into bed.

Comfort

The second important aspect of the atmosphere is comfort in the broad sense of the word. A soft blanket, two-three-five (or as many as you need for happiness) pillows on sofas and beds, a bedside rug, blackout curtains - these cozy little things add up to these little things, in which you will exhale with relief every time, because that all the troubles and problems will be on the other side of the door.

About how to create comfort in the apartment, we talked in our material:


How to create comfort at home: 10 easy ways


In addition, do not forget about such an important thing as home clothes. Experts from various fields (including, by the way, and the famous expert in the field of cleaning Marie Kondo) unanimously reiterate that at home you should never wear old clothes or even new ones that you do not dare to throw away. Clothing for home should be comfortable, cozy, causing only positive emotions. Coming home, you will wear it with joy, switching from day care to evening relaxation.

Of course, to sew such clothes with your own hands is aerobatics, because the very fact that you made it yourself will contribute to the pleasure of wearing it. We have selected for you the most comfortable patterns for every taste:

2. Sports

Our relaxation is directly related to the presence in our lives of loads - namely, sports. It's not about losing weight or gaining muscle mass, but about the sport, movement, activity that every person needs. A morning exercise, which takes 15-30 minutes, is not only a guarantee of your energy in the morning, but also a valuable investment in your evening well-being. Yes, someone will have to work hard to add these half an hour to their schedule, but this habit will bring you hundreds of times more benefits than 15 minutes spent in the morning on social networks.

If you find it difficult to force yourself, try turning the exercise into a real ritual. And to begin with, take care of the appropriate clothes that evoke pleasant emotions in you, in which you feel like a real fitness goddess and lady of yoga mats. She should go to you and cause a desire to match what she personifies!

We definitely know a lot about such clothes, so we recommend to sew them with our own hands. Below you will find patterns of various types of sportswear with which sport will be a joy:

3. Caring for your body

A competent nutrition specialist could tell a lot about how to make your diet more balanced, which foods and drinks should be discarded, and which ones, on the contrary, should be added. The therapist could choose the vitamins and supplements that are right for you, and the fitness trainer could draw up a lesson plan, but these are topics for individual articles or even consultations, since such things are selected individually. We will talk in this paragraph about the care that you can afford regardless of your health, your schedule, your budget and place of residence.

Self massage

Even if you cannot afford to visit a masseur regularly, this does not mean that you should ignore such a magical thing as a massage on your body and soul. In specialized stores, you can find dozens of different devices for self-massage, which will help to effectively relax tense muscles, for example, the collar zone (which, by the way, are called stress muscles, because emotional tension is very often fixed in this area in the form of chronic muscle clamps). But even if you do not have such massagers, you can start with a very simple thing - a massage scrub soap, which can be used literally daily in the shower.

Read more about how to make soap with your own hands in our master class:


Soap story: how to make soap yourself


To turn such a handmade soap into a massage soap, add coffee or poppy seeds to it, you can also use regular sugar.

Creams and oils

A relaxing therapeutic effect can be exerted by such a simple care product as a moisturizer or oil applied after a shower. You can easily combine these products with massage, which will only enhance the effect. In this case, it doesn’t even matter how expensive your cream will be, whether it will fight cellulite and stretch marks, tighten the skin and smooth wrinkles - it is important that you enjoy the process of taking care of yourself, you will certainly feel that the skin has become smoother (thanks to including scrubs), and even this fact will help you feel better, calmer and more confident.

Of course, there is no limit to perfection, and you can always go further: add yoga, regular meditations, flower and herbal teas with a calming effect to your life, start to run, eat fractionally and many, many other useful habits that will make your beautiful well-being and unwavering calm. But even if you add just a few simple ingredients to your daily life, you will feel not only better, but also happier.

Have a wonderful spring and feel good!
