The Home Spa is a vital component of any stress management program. This is because when life is stressing you and treating you badly, you need to counter the stress by treating yourself very well.
The Home Spa enables you to do this by providing a place where you can pamper yourself privately. In so doing, the Home Spa also helps you side step the medical and behavioral illnesses that arise from uninterrupted stress.

The top 5 characteristics of the perfect home spa that you should take into consideration when creating your own home spa are:
1. The Home Spa should be a private refuge.
Choose a room within your home or part of a room where you can retreat for some alone time behind closed doors. If you can’t claim the entire room to yourself, partition it for privacy. If you can’t claim the entire room to yourself all the time, designate the time when that certain “public” room within your home becomes your “private” refuge.
2. The Home Spa should be a place where you can relax physically.
Therefore, choose a room where you can rest and refresh your physical body. To modify an existing room for physical relaxation, you can:
• Add a chair with comfortable cushions in comforting cream
• Rid your spa space of environmental stress by fixing the clogged drain, moldy bathtub, jammed door or any other irritation as it may hamper relaxation.
3. The Home Spa should be a place where you can relax mentally.
Therefore, choose a room where your mind can rest. To modify an existing room for mental relaxation, you can:
• Get rid of clutter because it creates chaos making it hard for one to relax. Give away the things you don’t use to charities and friends or throw them away. Store the valuable items in cute containers.
• Decorate your spa space with curtains or wall hangings of lush green landscapes

5. The Home Spa should fit into your budget.
To ensure your Home Spa fits into your budget you can:
• Choose products that are in your price range so that they do not stress you financially
• Save to buy pricier items
Finally, after creating your perfect Home Spa, schedule personal pampering time to enjoy it. Isolate at least one hour each week when you can isolate yourself and take care of your physical, mental, emotional and spiritual well being. Choose the time of the day when you are least likely to be disturbed.
