Create a Backyard Retreat
Make a space to dream...
... and to renew. Being able to escape into the beauty of nature each day will keep you healthy and help you reclaim the energy you need to make those changes. Grab your pencil and paper and start drafting your little corner of serenity now.
FirePlace
It doesn't matter how elaborate or simple you make this, fire-watching releases tension and is about as old a tradition as you can have! Make sure to have a seat nearbye, and to prepare a place to store fuel that won't be an eyesore to you or your neighbors.
And Keep it Low-Key
If you've met resistance in the past, make the energy surrounding the change light and simple. Shrug the shoulders and say, "Yeah, we've been wasting a lot of time and money. It's time to shake that bad routine and use the money elsewhere." Great habit for life!
