Small Things I Do Every Week That Make a Big Difference
We all like to make sure that we're set up for a good week, but you don't always have to go all out with deep cleans or buying expensive flowers to make a difference in your life and home. Here are the small things I do on a weekly basis that makes a huge difference to my frame of mind, well being and the look and feel of my home in general.
Clean the kitchen before bed
It's not a big thing to clean the kitchen before bedtime, but it really does make all the difference the next morning. There's something nice about getting up in the morning to a clean and tidy kitchen. It's almost like a reset for the next day. That and it puts me in the right frame of mind, generally, to be productive and feel motivated for the day ahead.
Buy some fresh flowers
Even the smallest, cheapest bunch of flowers can make all of the difference in a home. I like to have some fresh flowers or some kind in the windows or in front of the log burner, when not in use, obviously! I love how they look, how they smell and I love the range of colours, too.
Exercise
Exercise in some form is a great way of enlightening your mind and body. It gets the heart and the blood pumping and it also gets your body moving. I always find that I feel less tired, more motivated and I sleep better that night if I've done some form of exercise that day. Whether we go for a walk around the block or if I've had a session on my static exercise bike, it's something I'll regularly make time for because it really does make a huge difference on a weekly basis.
Make the bed
It doesn't sound like a big thing, but making the bed always makes me feel more put together. It somehow signals the end of one day and the start of a new one. There's also something neat and tidy about the way it looks. If the house is a little messy, and we have no time to sort it all before we go out, I'll always take the time to make the bed in the morning.
Hoover the house
I hate seeing debris of any kind on the floor. Even if I've not mopped the floors for a little while, I always find that just giving it all a quick hoover makes it look and feel much better. It's a quick and easy way to restore order to the house when you don't have the time to do much else. I think it makes a huge difference and so I'll always take the time to hoover the house, pretty much everyday! It's made all the easier with our cordless Dyson vacuum cleaner.
