This week I took the time to rearrange my apartment. I made this decision for two reasons, one, I recently ended my relationship and felt like a change in furniture layout would be a great way to reclaim my apartment as my own space. And two, I wanted to reorganize so that I had space to relax and enjoy my time that wasn’t the same space that I use to create my videos and do any other projects that I have. Since I moved in this last May, and I tried to organize my apartment so that my content creation workspace and my relaxation area were one in the same, I and find myself getting the least of both by trying to have them occupy the same area. Now I have an area in which I can walk away from my personal projects and truly take time to relax and destress. By trying to have them together I would sit down to relax and then find a project to work on instead of just relaxing. Now I do this because I am a strong believer in mental health, and I believe everyone needs a space where they can go to completely relax and let the stress of life go. I do take great pride in being a hardworking, self-motivated individual, that always has a project or a hobby to complete, but if I don’t also take the time for leisure, I become stressed out. So I’ve rearranged my apartment because I value my mental health and stability, and I now have a more comfortable living space to come home to.
