The best cure for spring depression is to renew your home. First, you should decide exactly what exactly you wish to do: to completely change the image of your home or to introduce a few new nuances. For this purpose, watch TV shows, read magazines, and visit web-sites about home decoration and interior design. Then, you should visit a few local home improvement stores (Home Depot, Lowe’s, Ikea etc.) and choose paint for your walls. Do not buy the paint at once. Rather, collect paint samples at the stores, go home, and think about which color to paint the walls in each room. For example, it is much more pleasant to sleep in a blue bedroom in Arizona because the color blue calms you down and creates a cooler impression.
The next step for you will be to purchase the paint and accessories for painting. It is better to buy water-based paint because it dries quickly, has almost no smell, and is easily applied. Next, the most interesting part begins – the actual painting of the walls. This process can be transformed into a very cheerful entertainment, involving friends and family members. But first, do not forget to cover your furniture and floors, and go forth and create! After painting the walls comes the not-so-amusing stage of cleansing the traces of paint off yourself and others. However, before you do that, do not forget to take pictures of each other. Then, at the house renewal party, you will be able to laugh about one another’s multi-colored appearance.
As the next step, you should go back to the home improvement stores and choose various decorative items: curtains, small pillows, vases, light fixtures, painting reproductions, posters, etc. Do not buy anything too expensive since you will get bored with decorative items quickly. Besides, fashion for them changes rapidly. When choosing your decorations, do not be afraid of color. Rather, experiment with it. Both the Bible and the Koran say that God has created a multitude of paints for us and that we need to use them. The main thing is to maintain a well-balanced measure.
The closing stage of treating your depression will be decorating your home. This activity is no less pleasant than painting the walls. Furthermore, if you decorate your renewed home with inexpensive and simple live flowers, then in the morning, you will wake up absolutely healthy, with no signs of depression. Life goes on! It is beautiful!
