5 Products You Can Add to Your Home to Fight Stress

Updated: March 8, 2023 by Shana Yuri

Fight Stress

We all have obligations that, while they may bring us joy, also lead to stress in our lives – jobs, families, social lives, there are a million things constantly pulling us in various directions.

Our homes are intended to be places of respite, where we can unplug and unwind at the end of a long day and help forget or ease some of the stress we deal with.

While it’s important to remember that setting boundaries and living a healthy lifestyle is key to managing stress, did you ever consider that what you add to your home is part of a healthy lifestyle? 

The wellness industry has been booming for years, but it goes beyond athleisure clothing, workout products, and supplements.

You can add many items to your home today that induce a sense of calmness and help you de-stress. Keep reading to learn them and be on your way to the healthy lifestyle we all deserve. 

1. Indoor Plants 

Indoor Plants to fight stress

You may have a beautiful garden to add to your home’s curb appeal and be the envy of the neighborhood, but adding indoor plants to your home has been shown to fight stress.

Plants have the health benefit of purifying the air we breathe and adding a pop of natural and beautiful color to each space. Fresh flowers have been known to boost your mood, which improves mental health.

You don’t have to identify as a “plant parent” and fill each room with many plants to reap the benefit, but starting with one or two houseplants is a great way to de-stress and possibly begin a new hobby. 

2. Drift Devices

Adding a device in your home that refocuses you, reduces anxiety, promotes relaxation, and reduces tension would be a dream come true for most people.

Thankfully, there are drift devices that can do just that.

These beautiful sleep products add a modern elegance wherever you set them and let you focus on the sphere as it glides effortlessly throughout the sand of the bowl in which it resides.

Beloved by children and adults, these products are a way to embrace mindfulness without training yourself to meditate.

The calming movements of the device are something everyone in your home can benefit from, and its results are instantaneous – in a world centered on convenience, a drift device is a must-have in every home. 

3. Diffusing Essential Oils

Diffusing Essential Oils

We often overlook our sense of smell until we experience an unpleasant smell or the lure of an attractive perfume.

But honoring your sense of smell through diffusing essential oils is a healthy way to combat stress and promote wellness.

Oils like lavender or ylang-ylang are well known to beat back the blues, and other oils like peppermint and eucalyptus can uplift you when you are feeling down.

Want to make your home even healthier? Opt to clean with essential oils instead of conventional, chemical-laden cleaning products – your entire household, pets included, will benefit.

4. White Noise Machine 

White Noise Machine

If you’ve ever visited a therapist’s office, a pediatric office, or even grammar school and noticed that they’re running white noise machines, there’s a good reason – white noise has been shown in countless studies to calm us and put us in a state of peace.

You may already sleep with a white noise machine in your home, but don’t reserve them for bedtime. Turning on white noise whenever you’re feeling stressed is something everyone can benefit from.

Turn the machine on in the kitchen as you hurriedly prepare dinner, in the bathroom as you relax in the tub, or even in your living room while you clean – its benefits will be immediate, and you’ll recenter and refocus.

5. Neck Massager

Electric Neck Massager

While back pain is a common complaint, some at-home back massagers can miss the mark, but the tension we carry in our necks is easy to alleviate while we watch tv, catch up on emails or unwind on the back deck.

Investing in at-home massage equipment is a game changer and something everyone can benefit from.

If you don’t already have these life-saving devices in your home, order a neck massager today and start reaping the physical and emotional health benefits immediately. 

Other smaller items worth adding to your home to de-stress are incense, blue-blocking glasses to wear when using devices, a sleep mask, or even a weighted blanket, but the above items will have a more immediate impact on the health and calm of your home.

Purchase one or all of them over time, but they will only benefit you. Your health and the health of your home are worth it.
