The home spa - far more than just a trend
Spas are a real boon when you long for a little break from daily life every now and then. You consciously take time out, drive to the spa of your choice, slip into a fluffy, warm bathrobe and really let yourself be pampered. Sometimes all it takes is a sauna, heat cabin or a swim in the pool. Sometimes you need the complete package with everything that goes with it - aroma oil massage, mask, heat and co. combined with a relaxing atmosphere and fragrances can work wonders and achieve the desired deceleration from everyday life. Simply escape all the stress and indulge in soothing moments; think of nothing, just be in the moment and enjoy. Sounds good, doesn't it? You have come to enjoy this idea? But can't just slip away and go to a spa? This article shows you how you can bring your own wellness oasis home, because it doesn't take much at all. Let yourself be surprised by clever moves that allow you to reduce the way to the spa to a few steps in your own four walls.
What does it take to make ourselves comfortable? How do we relax? A visit to the spa is often the answer to these questions, but it is not always possible to drop by the spa for a break. There can be various reasons for this - lack of time, the fact that the next spa is not always waiting around the corner, or even the cost, because wellness often has its price. Those who regularly visit such resorts usually also leave a corresponding sum for the on-site services. So what is the alternative? Home spa is the magic word that not only describes a trend or lifestyle, but rather expresses what many of us long for: Relaxation at home. This is where we spend most of our time, so the idea seems to make sense to set up right there to put ourselves in a state of deep relaxation. It is the small things in life that are known to trigger great things in us: Colours, smells, sounds of soft music or light, for example. Moreover, the "spa moment" starts in the mind. It is a feeling we give ourselves when we want to relax and rest.
And with simple means, you can succeed in giving this feeling a space: for example, you can concentrate on a specific room in your flat or house during the redesign to generate focus and awareness. "Here is the place where I can retreat and be for myself", with this thought you create a construct that can definitely help you to come to peace. Consciously make time for your needs. As people who thrive on habit and ritualisation, it is also useful to pick a specific time, how about every Wednesday evening? Or once a month for a whole day?
Delimit your time for yourself specifically from everyday life so that you can fully engage in your spa moment. With this knowledge, you are in the best possible position to now dedicate yourself to the remodelling: Bring new life into your bathroom and paint it in a colour of your choice as a beautiful project; shades such as fir green or crimson trigger a feeling of security in many people due to their dark, deep colouring and can serve as inspiration. Or help yourself to a noble hue such as gold to approximate the luxurious idea of a spa. No leisure to paint? No problem, the potpourri of possibilities is colourful! Go wild - the main thing is that you enjoy it. You can also bring the power of nature into your home and put up a few plants. Or get yourself a small selection of face masks. Or get some candles for a pleasant, warm light. Especially recommended: scented oils. Last but not least, essential oils belong on the list, their influence on human well-being should not be underestimated; available almost everywhere, they do not represent a cost or effort factor and with the right scent you can literally transport yourself to another world and dive into a state of serenity.
