Rest doesn’t have to wait for a spa day or a fancy vacation. With a little effort, you can create a peaceful space right at home. A spot where you can take a deep breath, let go of stress, and feel completely at ease.
At Sacred House, we believe rest is super important. It’s not just about taking breaks, it’s about making time to care for yourself. Here’s how you can turn a corner of your home into a cosy rest spot and make rest a part of your daily life.
Step 1: Pick Your Rest Spot
Start by finding a quiet corner in your home. It could be a comfy chair by a window, a spot on your bed, or even a small area on the floor with a soft rug.
💡 Tip: Choose a place where you can relax without too much noise or interruptions. This is your rest zone.
Step 2: Make It Cozy
Once you’ve picked your spot, it’s time to make it feel warm and inviting.
Lighting: Use soft lighting like candles, fairy lights, or a small lamp to create a calming vibe.
Scents: Add a calming scent like lavender or chamomile with a candle, incense, or essential oils.
Textures: Bring in a fluffy blanket or cushion to make the space extra comfortable.
💡 Tip: Our Sacred Space Bundle has everything you need to make your space feel peaceful, including sage, palo santo, and a calming crystal.
Step 3: Add Your Favorite Things
Think about what makes you feel relaxed, and keep those items close by.
A Journal: Use it to jot down your thoughts, things you’re grateful for, or even a quick to-do list to clear your mind.
Tea: A warm drink like our Evening Blend Tea is great for winding down and feeling cosy.
Music or Nature Sounds: Play some relaxing music or soothing sounds like rain or ocean waves to help you chill.
💡 Tip: Try leaving your phone out of this space—it’s your time to disconnect.
Step 4: Create a Simple Rest Routine
Now that your space is ready, come up with a little routine to help you relax. Here’s an example:
Breathe: Start with a few deep breaths. Inhale for 4 seconds, hold it for 4, exhale for 4, and pause for 4. Do this a few times.
Sip and Reflect: Make a cup of tea and sip it slowly. While you drink, think about something you’re thankful for or something you’d like to let go of.
Stretch or Meditate: Spend a few minutes doing gentle stretches or sitting quietly to centre yourself.
💡 Tip: Keep it simple so you’ll stick to it. Even 5-10 minutes a day makes a difference!
Step 5: Make It a Habit
Your rest spot isn’t just a corner in your home—it’s your space to recharge and feel good. Make time for it daily, even if it’s just a few minutes. Small moments of rest can add up to big changes in how you feel.
💡 Tip: Treat this time as sacred—something just for you. It’s not about being perfect; it’s about showing up for yourself.
