Achieving Domestic Tranquility: Tips for a Peaceful Home Life

Achieving Domestic Tranquility

Home is where the heart is. I have been hearing such words since childhood and it took almost another 20 years for me to understand the real meaning of such words and sayings. As a child, I used to think home is just a place where I would return from school or from a vacation. As I grew older and perhaps wiser, I started realizing that home is a state of mind. You can feel at home at a distant place or in the arms of your beloved and you may not feel at home even if you are at your own place with every possible amenity and resource encompassing your existence. Do you know why is that so? That’s because all you need at the end of the day is a peaceful abode. And an abode becomes peaceful only if you are at peace with your own self. Having said that, things are not as easy as they seem to be. A peaceful home life and attaining a sense of tranquility demand your time, effort and patience.

Balance out professional and personal life

This is as important as anything. Did you know 77% employees have experienced burnout at least once in their present jobs? Now, imagine what would happen if those employees carry their work life grievances and a fair share of anxiety back home? It will not only ruin their mental peace but shall also bring a negative impact on the mental health of their parents, wife and children. This, as a result, will ruin an otherwise peaceful ambience at home and the place will be soon filled with negative vibes, clashes and conflicts, insults, unnecessary quarrels and other adversities. This is exactly the reason one should practice striking the right balance between their professional and personal life.

Here's how.

• Give your 100% at work and make it a point to work till your official logout time and not beyond that.
• Remember, working beyond the official hours or overworking can never be a sign of productivity.
• It will only put things in a bad light in the long run as your supervisors and reporting heads might think you are not capable of wrapping things up on time or that you are not resourceful enough for the job.
• This, as a result, will lead to negative remarks and a poor appraisal cycle.
• This, in turn, will impact your mental peace as anxiety will overpower a peaceful mind and cycle continues so on and so forth.
• So, the idea is to stick to your professional fields of commitment and enjoy your personal space at home, with family and friends.
• The moment you realize you have enough time for your friends and family, you have the time to sit back, relax and watch a movie or plan a long vacation with your family, you will start feeling better, more positive and of course at peace.

Trust me, my friend. This is all you need to attain a peaceful mind and definitely a peaceful abode.

Participate in homely affairs

This is again one crucial point to be noted when it comes to achieving domestic tranquility. Going to work and coming back home exhausted and again waking up the next day, getting ready for work and repeating the cycle wont really help all the time.

Earning money and running a family isn’t everything and things will simply backfire if you end up being a miserable family man who knows not how to participate in homely affairs, take up responsibilities at home, fix things effectively and spend enough time bonding with the family members.

Here are some useful ideas and tips that can come into play for you.

• Always take the initiative to look into things at home, strike a conversation with your close ones, express concerns for your kids, ageing parents or even for appliances and gadgets that aren’t functioning well.
• You family members should feel you are equally connected to them and concerned about each and every person at home.
• And this should come naturally – no strategy, no pre-determined approach, no fake concern and the likes.
• For example, if you find the TV isn’t working or in case the water pump fails to perform well, then take immediate steps by escalating the issues to the concerned technicians.
• Do not wait for your parents or other family members to intervene. Instead, take proactive initiatives and fix things the moment you would notice the something is wrong.
• Plan day outs a short weekend getaway once in every month. Let your family members know you love them and that you love spending quality time with them.
• As mentioned earlier, do not bring up professional issues (unless they are too critical or urgent) at home.
• Never end up being rude or lose patience while planning a family event or other activities.

Invest in self-care as well

If you are at peace with your own self, then you home life will naturally experience a peaceful time and situation. On the contrary, if you are constantly in a state of conflict both mentally and physically, then you will never find peace or develop peaceful state of mind at work and of course at home. This is exactly why one should always invest enough time in self-care and development.

Here are a few suggestions that will come into play for you in this context.

• Treat yourself at times with a short weekend trip with family or while spending good times together with the kids at home.
• Also, you can visit a library and spend some quality time reading good books, writing something or simply remembering a couple of good memories that you can write down sometime down the line.
• If you are too burned out at work, then take a day off, lie back at home and simply do nothing.
• Give your brain and heart enough time to rejuvenate and bounce back instead of surrendering to the clutches of stress, anxiety and hopelessness.
• Do not go haywire overthinking or contemplating a situation only to make it worse in your head.
• Instead, think positive, embrace positivity and never miss out on attaining ultimate peace of mind.

Never underestimate the power of plants

This is yet another notable point to be considered when it comes to attaining a peaceful home life. People, these days, are often seen flooding to the nearest botanical markets to buy plants as they all have understood what wonders plants can create and how significant it is in the matter of maintaining a peaceful life.

Here are a few tips for you to consider and implement.

• You can choose to create a separate space for plants in your house, preferably the terrace.
• Take enough time to read, learn and understand how to start off with this initiative, the right soil you need and the environment that would suit certain plants and their growth.
• Most importantly, you have to committed in terms of watering your plants from time to time, uprooting the damaged stems and the likes.

Remember, planting trees or setting up a cozy botanical space at home help in keeping all toxins at bay. More importantly, such initiatives help in reoxygenating your home effectively. So, keep referring to more such suggestions, keep embracing more such initiatives and always experience positive vibes around your dream abode.

Do not ignore the bedroom setup

The bedroom is supposed to be the most intimate space and of course of a cozy corner of your house. A peaceful home life has a lot to do with the bedroom space, its décor, colors, props used and the likes. Here are some good suggestions for you to consider for a peacefully cozy and intimate bedroom space.

• Incorporate colors that go well with you, suit your mood and draw you to space after a long, tiring day.
• Do not make the room too stuffy with too many decorative items and vibrant shades of colors.
• Instead, go for the lighter shades, choose nice curtains and bedcovers for your bedroom and let things sync well.

§ Set up a personal space at home

This again one major point to be noted when it comes to achieving domestic tranquility. Every member of your family should enjoy their own space and time. And what could be more effective than have a personal space in the form of a study, a library, a cozy balcony corner and the likes? At times, we feel like sitting back, doing nothing, immersed in deep thoughts and figuring out life. For that, a human brain needs the right ambience, a noise-free zone and the right company.
