A: I’m deeply passionate about the power of essential oils and the transformative impact of clean, orderly environments. Scientific studies affirm that the scent of lavender has a calming effect on the nervous system, while organized spaces contribute significantly to our overall sense of well-being. Fortunately, I have the privilege of a dedicated home office—an oasis meticulously curated with furnishings, art, and literature that reflect my style. I find solace amidst the comforting aroma of essential oils and the backdrop of my favorite playlists.
Recognizing that not everyone may have the luxury of a spacious “whole room,” I advocate for creating personal sanctuaries within the constraints of your living space—a cozy nook, a well-organized bookshelf, or simply a designated area for cherished items. If clutter threatens to overwhelm me, I implore everyone to embark on a spring-cleaning journey, clearing the physical space to foster inner tranquility.
Ultimately, nurturing your nervous system hinges on cultivating harmonious environments within your home—spaces where you can unwind, engage in self-care rituals, and indulge in life’s pleasures, whether through reading, journaling, creative pursuits, or savoring a piece of chocolate.
