Windchimes are an object that I need in my happy place. The gentle music they make is soothing to me. For some reason, it always reminds me of the Jersey shore. I don't know why. It doesn't matter. I have some hanging outside on a huge evergreen tree in my yard. If the wind blows gently, the sound instantly soothes me.
I have them in my home and although my husband doesn't like them (he is ultra sensitive to sounds) they comfort me.
Creating your own happy place is easy. You need to find things that soothe you easily. For me, a windchime is essential. Plants also are good. Pictures of nature like sunrises and sunsets over the ocean, lightening (yes there is great beauty in it) and even a peaceful winter scene can relax me.
Of course, aromatherapy is important too. I like to spray my sheets with my own homemade fabric refreshener. It is lavender scented fabric softener that is diluted with water. Getting into a bed that smells good can help me to sleep better.
If you can create a happy place in each room of your home, you can feel more at peace in it. The stress that you bring home at the end of a work day will disappear when you are surrounded with an environment that brings you peace. It should feel happy to be in your space.
It doesn't take a lot of money to create a happy place. It is necessary to do to help you unwind, de-stress and be better mentally to deal with the outside world.
Create your happy place. You will be glad that you did.
