MAKE YOUR HOME HEAVEN ON EARTH
Home is the place under roof covered by four walls where privacy can be
maintained to the fullest extent. A peaceful home is no doubt more than the heaven. But sometimes our mind becomes unstable due to some unknown factors which steal peace from our mind without intimating us. This happens only when some factors directly enter into our sub-cautious mind and takes a long time to come out and enter into our direct mind. Some of these are:
1. Shoes Stand: It should be at a proper ventilated place and care should be taken that the stink emanating from the shoes does not enter the house.
2. Wall Colour: Dull colours bring lazy feelings in the sub-cautious mind.
3. Ceiling Fans and Hanging Lights: Periodical check-up of ceiling fans and hanging lights is essential to avoid untoward incidents because of loose fitting or improper installation. It
creates fear of fall in the sub-cautious mind.
4. Outdated Calendar: It creates confusion and anger in the mind while busy in noting appointments or fixing dates etc.
5. Ventilators: At least two ventilators in the opposite directions should be installed for cross ventilation.
6. Electric Points and Appliances: Electric points like switch and sockets should be installed at the average height of a five-year old child in order to restrict access of small kids to it. Similarly, electronic appliances like TV, Radio, Refrigerator, Washing Machine and Electric Irons should be kept beyond easy reach of the children.
7. Wall Clock: It should be fixed in such a place from where it can be seen easily and adjusted to accurate time to enable you to reach the work place in time.
8. The place of daily use articles like brooms and napkins etc. should be at easy access so that the wastage of time to find them out is minimized.
9. Table or book stands close to door creates tidiness in the mind when free movement
inside the house is interrupted.
10. Breakable households made up of soft materials like glass etc. should be removed from the floor immediately to make hassle free movement inside the home.
11. Floors should be kept neat and clean which supports our feats to walk confidently on it.
12. Cleansing tooth and foot before going to bed is absolutely essential. Unclean tooth and foot irritates mind while sleeping and brings bad dreams and thinking.
13. Maintenance of garden by regularly watering it keeps flowers and shrubs green and healthy. No doubt the freshness of the garden refreshes mind and brings positive thoughts to the mind.
14. Floor under the bed should be kept cleaned to get rid of foul smell when door is closed at night. It steals sound sleep.
15. Thresholds of the door protects small crawling insects and dust entering into the house.
16. Strong main entry doors and its locking system creates a safety atmosphere inside the mind.
17. Early to bed and early to rise gives mind adequate energy to remain alert throughout the day.
18. Drains should be cleaned at a regular gap to remove unnecessary blockage of wastes which emanates foul smells after decomposition.
19. Lizards on the Wall: In order to quench thirst lizards fall straight to the ground from the wall. This is the natural way of lizards to quench their thirst. Therefore, food items especially liquid foods like milk etc. should be kept always covered.
Besides the above, interaction with family members also brings a lot of happiness to the mind. Some acts of interaction are:
(a) Touching children with love and play hid & seek with them brings closeness between you and your children. Always give a smiling face to them which induces them to speak out their problems which can easily be solved by putting a little effort to it.
(b) Never forget to tease the life partner whenever both of you are alone. This makes relationship stronger and long lasting.
(c) If the children are making mistakes, rather than loosing temper be considerate and encouraging, then your children will feel appreciated and the motivation levels will be high. This is based on the rationale that the children are not aware of the consequences of the work they are doing. Their effort is positive.
Only a family where all members are having faith and confidence with each other can remain binding and peaceful for a long time.
