Minimizing the impact of stressful events begins with identifying things you have control over and taking small, simple actions. A looming war or a chronic health problem may be beyond your control, but you still have the power to fill your home with soul-pleasing details. Sometimes an unrelated action such as painting a door will bring a fresh outlook and open the way to new beginnings. Simply rearranging the furniture is healing, allowing you to shape your environment in meaningful ways.
