Domestic Bliss: 5 simple things to do now to boost your happiness at home

This post is all about 5 things you can do now to boost your domestic bliss at home.

I've been fully enjoying the vibe in my new facebook group, the Blissful Living Lounge. I knew I needed a place to really connect to my people in a new way. I love being able to connect so easily with those of you who really are up to designing a bigger, more beautiful life. I received a question from one gal that said:

"I read the blog & listened to the podcast this AM, right on time for me. I am a single mom & low income I don't want to say I can't afford things but what could I do to implement quality things in my home."

I tend to touch on these topics in my newsletter and in the High Vibe Home masterclass, this is exactly what we get into. Once I made the decision to no longer settle for anything that doesn't light me up or make me feel bliss, I began to see my life elevate to an entirely new level. 

Today, I felt like I needed to share a few things I began to do that completely changed my energy around living an abundant life. I like to call it 'adding bliss boosters'.

1. Fresh flowers weekly.

By taking the time to freshen up your space with something beautiful, you are making a shift in your life that says, I deserve what I desire! Flowers will make anyone feel blissful and when you keep them around you while working, cooking, eating, spending time with your family, it enhances the experience. 

2. Positive messages.

I absolutely love this bathmat that says 'you look gorgeous'. Keeping these messages around your home so you can see them daily will increase your bliss frequency. You will not be able to attract a blissful and abundant life unless you know what you need for your own self-care. This is related to self-worth, which is related to making money.

Do you see the connection?

So many of us are challenged with the ability to take care of ourselves because we have no idea what would make us feel better or “cared for.” For many of us, we just need to be reminded of how beautiful we are, or how worthy we are. Place positive messages around your home to boost your bliss. 

3. Play dress up!

Get yourself a fabulous robe or a caftan. When you are wearing something around your home that makes you feel like an old Hollywood movie, you can't help but feel luxurious and glamorous. It's an excellent way for 'dressing for the home that you want'! I'm always in my robe in the mornings, and I wear beautiful silk ponchos at home while working. Watch some old movies for glamorous inspiration. 

4.  Take more time to relax.

Take decadent and long bubble baths, treat your body with the utmost respect. Opt for a night in treating yourself to some five star treatment instead of going to a night out for drinks.

When you are fully caring yourself in this way, you are treating yourself to an elevated lifestyle. This will do nothing but show the Universe you are ready for more abundance and ultimately more bliss. 

You may even want to try my love bath ritual.

5. Mix it up.

Sometimes if you are feeling stuck, it's a sign you need to change up the energy in your space. Just this week I decided to move my computer from my desk in the living room to my bedroom vanity area. This completely changed up my energy at home, especially because I work from home. It's given me all kinds of new inspiration and I noticed the personal shift immediately! When you begin to make intentional, inspired actions, the Universe rewards you. 

Before any of these bliss boosters, I highly encourage you to CLEAR YOUR SPACE TO OPEN YOUR MONEY CHANNELS! Everything in your life needs to be organized and in order to really go into a space of asking to receive more, to receive divine guidance and inspiration on what to do next to manifest your abundance.

Now I know that these things are pretty obvious and easy but how often do we know what to do, but we don't actually do it. Use this weekend to actually add some bliss boosters into your life and begin to experience more abundance! 

Blissful Living: perfecting the art of coming home

Ever since I was a little girl I was fascinated by the art of coming home. There was nothing like coming home after a long day, coming home from a vacation, coming home from dinner. There is just something really amazing about loving where you live so much that coming home feels like a big hug. 

Which is why I am always so surprised to see just how much people don't care about their home. Over the weekend, I met a woman who when she found out I was an interior designer, told me "oh gosh, please don't come to my house, its awful"! I was almost heartbroken when she started to tell me how much they don't really need to do anything about their home, its "just them two." I couldn't help but think to myself, but she's missing out on how good it feels to love where you live. 

It's become my biggest passion to help inspire people to really care about themselves and the life they live. Which was the main message of my book, Blissful Living and from that created a course to teach you the methods I use called Blissful Living workshop. It’s completely humbling to realize that there are areas of life where most of us have too high of a tolerance for low-level thinking, playing small, other people’s excuses or even your own. The lingering fears you allow in you head have you putting up with or accepting less than what you truly desire. 

Let this be the time you ask for more for yourself. Stop spending your time, money and energy on whatever doesn’t make you happy or isn’t serving you living your dream life. Insist to the Universe that you’re ready for a new path to open up. Set the intention and seize every opportunity to act on it.

Which is perhaps why design blogs are so inspiring to me and I still blog as much as I do. I love how this stylish blogger joannafingal styled up her home. These are a few photos of her space which will hopefully bring you so inspiration. It brings me such joy to see other people create beautiful spaces that leave a legacy of sorts. When you are designing a beautiful life and home and sharing that with others, it inspires them to be great too. Isn't that incredible? We can actually use the things we call 'luxuries' to show the power and magnificence of God and how we can all really live a beautiful life. One full of our desires. It's all about knowing 'how' to approach it. This is what I just love to teach! 

It's wonderful to have a beautiful space to come home to, drop your keys, turn on the lights and feel welcomed home. A few things I love to do to prepare for coming home: 

1. Make infused waters. I love cucumber water and strawberry water. I love to put them in the fridge the night before I leave the house so that when I come home, there's crisp and hydrating water for me to enjoy. 

2. I like to wash and dry my towels right before I leave. When I come home from a long weekend, I can turn on the quick time dry, throw in lavender sheets and pull out the best feeling warm towels for after a long bath. 

3. I always spray the pillows and blankets on my sofa with febreeze or linen spray and perk them up. So when I come home, I can take a long lay on my sofa and just breathe. It's the best feeling.
