Home improvement

I reckon home improvements are a good way to start a new year. You feel like you've had a bit of a new beginning, and it's less fraught than self improvement. Often when trying to make some aspect of yourself better it brings up guilt for past failings, anxiety about whether you're doing it correctly, maybe even a maternal-like nagging inner voice. But with home improvement, you can put in a day or two of physical work, which in itself can be repetitively meditative, and immediately see a tangible difference. Also, there's less second guessing, at least in our case. I am pleased to say that our white bathroom door and window frame look much cleaner and lighten up the whole tiny, little room.
