The Midlife Movement
I was a guest on The Midlife Movement Podcast last week! We talked a lot about putting in place a consistent wellness practice in the home so you won’t ever have an excuse or feel the need to skip workouts ever again.
Why is having a wellness practice at home important? Tune into The Midlife Movement Podcast episode number 36, February 5, 2020 entitled Making a Wellness Practice at Home .
an interior designer and someone who’s committed to a healthy eating plan and exercise,
I’ve observed that first: our most consistent wellness practices begin at home.
- Exercise: You don’t have to
go somewhere or stop someplace to exercise, meaning no fancy workout clothes or
lipstick is required.
- Diet: You have the option to
“have” or “not have” in the home tempting bad boys like wine, dairy or sugary treats. In other words if it’s not there, you won’t be tempted.
- Rest: Where you can always
find a quiet, pretty and comfy spot to rejuvenate.
- When the home is well
planned, beautiful to your senses and nicely maintained it adds balance, support and so much
joy to your life.
- Or conversely speaking, when
it’s worn, dysfunctional and dirty it has the ability to drag you down and
discourage you, lending to disorganization, depression and apathy not only in your surroundings but in you, you precious gal.

Scale
that is large. It could be an armoire or an entertainment unit or a large set
of built in bookcases. Scale is important to your floor plans because it adds a
sense of permanence and stability. The rest of the room must be planned around
that large scale piece. It is the room’s anchor.

dirt are because our conscious eye is accustomed to seeing them. But your
subconscious picks up on it and realizes something is uncomfortable.
the windows. Enjoy the views if you’re lucky enough to have them. Open the
windows and let fresh air in.
a design store for years, I always realized how big of an effect accessories
have on our homes. But when it really became evident was when I updated my own
home with just accessories. I spent around $2,000 US dollars on accessories in
2012. The home was already lovely but moving my existing items around and
adding these new accessories updated the style and lightened the mood quite a
lot.
