We’ve been home more than ever before during the past year and as a mental health provider, I’ve seen this act as both a blessing and a challenge for everyone.   ‘Home’ has taken on double-duty as a workspace, the office, the kids’ school, the only social space many of us may have, and where we connect virtually with the resources we have in our community.   This can simultaneously make home feel busier, overwhelming, or really emphasize some loneliness. It can challenge our desires to have the space in our four walls be the true sanctuary that we need and want.   Sharing 5 simple, time-tested tips to help you create sanctuary in your home wherever you are.
