While many folks make New Year’s resolutions that revolve around getting a
better bod, others choose to look inward and seek ways to find joy and inner
peace through meditation and mindfulness.
And experts agree that it’s important to de-stress after the holidays.
“Take a deep, cleansing breath and re-experience the little things as you go
through your day,” says former Buddhist monk-turned-psychotherapist and
author Donald Altman, who, along with local design team Twice As Nice Interiors
in East Islip, offer creative solutions toward achieving a Zen lifestyle and bringing
that relaxed vibe into indoor and outdoor spaces.
Escape for a while and find tranquility at home by creating a peaceful sanctuary
away from the concrete jungle of New York City. Infusing your surroundings with
positive energy and calming, Zen-inspired design is easy… and therapeutic.
