2. Play calm music that can serve as the background to your daydreams, meditation or conversation.
3. Layer textures in your home with cozy throws or blankets, add pillows and wooden elements like trays and bowls...keep the color palette soft and simple.

4. Warmth...turn up the thermsostat a smidge, slip on comfortable, soft clothes and socks, light a fire in the fireplace, put down a rug, and once your settled- enjoy a nice hot cup of tea or cocoa.

5. Infuse your home with good fragrance...coffee, baked bread, or incense if you like it.
6. Indulge in a quiet pleasure like reading, doing a puzzle or watching a favorite movie.


7. Enjoy simple cuisine like soups or fresh fruits.
8. Here's a simple one...tidy up.
