HOW TO ENJOY COMING HOME EVERY SINGLE TIME

Think about your entrance + what you are greeted with every single time you arrive home. What is it that you see? How does this make you feel? If you walk in your front door, your entrance is the first thing that greets you. If you drive home + park your car in the garage, then what you see in your garage sets the tone for you upon arrival home. Each + every day. Your front entrance or your garage is the last thing you see visually when you leave your home, so this energy carries with you long after you’ve driven away from your home address. Your entrance is one of the most important spaces in your home. It is the first impression. It sets a tone, an expectation + an expression.

‌

Many people think about the impression they are making on others, on visiting family members or on friends, neighbours or even one time visitors, yet they don’t often value themselves in this equation. They overlook the fact that they are being greeted by this entrance each time they enter. This entrance is reinforcing to you, what your priorities are, what your values are + what your standards are. Is this the entrance you want for yourself? Is this the first thing you want to be faced with on arrival? Does this entrance speak scarcity + make you contract? Or does this entrance speak abundance + make you expand? Is it warm, welcoming, exciting or embarrassing.

‌

If your entrance is your garage, how does it make you feel each time the roller door goes up + you drive in? How does it make you feel each time the roller door goes down + you drive away? How does it make you feel? This is the first + most powerful connection you have to your home. It’s the best place to start, for you to call in abundance, expansion + gratitude in your life. Think about making a first impression, every time, for yourself. Think about how you want to feel each time you arrive home. Are you greeted with school bags dumped at the door, excess shoes, unopened mail, unwashed pet bowls, unused old furniture or debris that serves no purpose? What is it that you can change easily + simply this weekend? It doesn’t have to cost alot of money or take alot of time or require alot of resources. It could simply be a good clean + tidy up, removing some things, sweeping the entrance, hosing it down, washing windows or wiping the front door to make it sparkle. It may mean mowing the lawn + trimming the edges or pruning the shrubs, cutting back the hedging + tidying overgrown trees.

‌

Once you begin this process, excitement + inspiration motivate you to continue. The momentum kicks in + it feels like such a rush, you don’t want to stop. It becomes addictive. You can see where you’ve been + most importantly, you feel different. The value you place in your home reciprocates + comes back to you like a cycle. It’s infinite. Place more value in your home + love your home. That love and value, you will receive from your home, it will come back to you without question. The easiest + simplest way to receive and to give is to nurture yourself through one of your most valuable assets, your home.
