Hi lovelies,
In this material-driven world, we can find ourselves shunning quality of life in favor of bigger and better things. A very good example is our home, and when we have a home that is big in stature, it communicates to others that we've got a lot of money. But there's been an increasing trend in downsizing, especially with regard to the costs of everything going up, so rather than focusing on the financial benefits of downsizing to an apartment, we thought we'd show you the wellness side of the equation. What are the real wellness benefits of owning an apartment instead of a home?
A Greater Sense of Privacy
Many apartment homes can provide a greater sense of privacy in comparison to a larger home. You might think that this goes against the idea of having a larger home, but having a smaller property means that you can have a greater sense of privacy because it forces you to feel more comfortable. Many people that have larger homes can find themselves preoccupied with larger home problems, for example, doing lots of cleaning or going from room to room and never having truly gotten to grips with what it's like to live in this place. Lots of people like larger homes because there's more practical space. But if you are someone who is by yourself and you have very few things in life in a physical sense, you can have that sense of comfort and privacy that goes along with it.
A Greater Sense of Peace Of Mind
A smaller home is easier to look after, and this naturally provides a lot more benefits with regard to the quality of your life, but it also means that because it's cheaper to maintain, you will reap the benefits in so many other ways. You will be able to save more money and you will spend more time on the things that matter in your life, rather than focusing on cleaning the property and this means that you will inevitably feel the benefits in your frame of mind. We live in an age where we feel that we need to be busy all of the time, but this only goes against the idea of what living is really all about. Having a smaller property means that while you may have a bit of a wobble because you think that there’s things you should be doing, over time you start to make peace with the fact that there's a lot more breathing space in your life. And this is an amazing thing to realize.
A Great Sense of Safety
You may feel that in a house in a busy neighborhood, there are just too many people. If you start to change your life and go to an apartment that is smaller in stature, you are far removed from a lot of your neighbors, and this means that you can feel a great sense of safety. Not least because many apartment complexes have sophisticated security systems, and everybody's in the same boat, meaning that you all have to work together when there are common problems.
There are plenty of financial benefits to downsizing to an apartment, but it's important to bear in mind the wellness benefits as well.
