Do you remember that stubborn door handle you have to jiggle while turning your key? Or that dripping kitchen tap that seeps into your dreams at night, even though you’re two floors above? You might think it’s no big deal, especially if it’s been like that since you moved in.
What happens when you can’t jiggle your way into your house because the handle is beyond repair? Or when that tap gives way in the middle of the night, flooding your kitchen while you sleep?
Like a person, a well-maintained property increases in value. By addressing small issues promptly, you’ll face fewer major problems down the line.
Physical Maintenance
Physical upkeep involves labour-intensive tasks such as:
- Cleaning gutters
- Replacing roof tiles
- Filling cracks
- Repairing rot
Pest-proofing your property is crucial, regardless of your location. Even if you reduce attractants, your house might still be a cosy shelter for pests during winter months.
Mental Aspects
Regular home maintenance provides reassurance, but considering and taking actionable steps towards security is that sweet peace of mind. As the saying goes, “Cleanliness is next to godliness.” It’s time to clean, organise, and rejuvenate your home.
A good start is de-cluttering and embracing minimalism. Reflect on who you are and what you aspire to be, then let go of or recycle what doesn’t fit your ideal profile. Adding plants and pleasant fragrances will breathe life into your space.
Decorate in the style you appreciate. Display photos of family, friends, and joyous occasions. Organise so everything has its place and is easily accessible, allowing you to spend more time living and less time searching.
You can make home care enjoyable by playing your favourite music or podcasts while you work.
Spiritual Dimension
As you maintain and rejuvenate your space, clearing out negative energy and making room for fulfilment, consider what you and your household want to support. Make your goals your faith. For example, if you aim to lose weight, focus on the practice of daily walks rather than just the end result of losing a fixed amount of pounds/stones.
The whole household can join the movement and since subsequently doing for self will make you do for others, a fitness programme for your community is created and possibly broadens throughout your town. Global outreach is now within range and your family is now contributing to the world in encouraging exercise.
